1. Yes, that youth found no solace but her
She is the valley's adornment as you have promised

2. If you find the birds singing nearby
And nothing but its rice that you witness

3. It grows green above and its slopes blossom
By God, that water when you fetch it

4. How wonderful its mornings, its evenings
How wonderful when you are made happy by it

5. So the love of Sowq al-Gharb is the joy of our gathering
And whatever pleases you, you will find

6. An endless sea that tires the eyes without it
An endless sea you went seeking

7. The summer of Lebanon is no secret to you
Nor is Sowq al-Gharb, your intended destination

8. It is time, so take the best of your days
For the time you hoped for may come without them
