He talked to me, wine in his mouth,

كلمني والمدام في فمه

1. He talked to me, wine in his mouth,
Exhaling the scent of his radiant smile.

١. كَلَّمَني وَالمُدامُ في فَمِهِ
قَد نَفَحَت مِن حَبابِ مَبسِمِهِ

2. He swayed like a branch, lost in rapture,
Drunk, beyond all self-control.

٢. وَراحَ كَالغُصنِ في تَمايُلِهِ
سَكرانَ يَشتَطُّ في تَحَكُّمِهِ

3. By God! Lightning, can you tell him
Of the fire in my heart, of my despair?

٣. بِاللَهِ يا بَرقُ هَل تُحَدِّثُهُ
عَن نارِ قَلبي وَعَن تَضَرُّمِهِ

4. Can any breeze blow, bear to him
A message from my mouth to his?

٤. وَهَل نَسيمٌ سَرى يُبَلِّغُهُ
رِسالَةً مِن فَمي إِلى فَمِهِ

5. I'm amazed at his stinginess toward me,
When people speak of his generosity.

٥. عَجِبتُ مِن بُخلِهِ عَلَيَّ وَما
يَذكُرُهُ الناسُ مِن تَكَرُّمِهِ

6. They taught him, so he shuns me now.
Lord, take vengeance on his teacher!

٦. هُم عَلَّموهُ فَصارَ يَهجُرُني
رَبِّ خُذِ الحَقَّ مِن مُعَلِّمِهِ
