1. O bird, may you be congratulated on the goodness of the dwellings,
And the length of embraces and the abundance of bliss.

2. The branch carried you due to its abundance,
And a great palace was too narrow for two.

3. Between us there is nothing but this courtyard,
This wall, and this sanctuary,

4. These gardens, these ponds,
These palm trees, and these vineyards.

5. Yet we are like those separated
By kingdoms at war protecting their borders.
