1. Oh Nile, you did not detain
Two hearts pulsating by your banks

2. In a green boat, joyous
Blessed is the morning, fresh and verdant

3. He walked proudly in the evening
Wearing the tourmaline necklace

4. Like a sweet, heavenly kiss
Descending upon the cheek of a bough

5. The waves playfully splash
Against the pearl white teeth angry

6. And steal the purity of the kiss
Throwing it into the chest of a lover

7. Shaking it of its dew pleased
With its constant, despised play

8. Oh little boat reveal
A whirlwind that crowds my insides

9. Burst forth like a halo pulled
Surrounding you with moons

10. Grant me your beloved, let me join them
A rescue from my minaret of longing

11. Grant me your savior, let me confess to them
My heart, my breath, my passion

12. Strands of pearls in a throbbing
From me and in the pupil of my embrace

13. And on the banks of my soul where
My world rests, saved are the two

14. There, oh little boat, is the abode of love
Abundant in bliss, in my riverbanks

15. Did I anchor or did the Nile
Deprive me of your company and my goals

16. God is in the little boat unbeknownst
To the Nile, no captain has triumphed

17. Its sail is love and its oars
Two childish, babbling hearts

18. Rejoicing naively in its elation
From a distant era and homeland

19. Protect my two children and bless them
For love, oh Nile, and my melodies
