تقول الناسُ قد تبتُ

تقول الناسُ قد تبتُ

ولا واللَهِ ما تبتُ

ولا واللَهِ ما تبتُ

People say I have repented.

People say I have repented

The people say I have repented,

But no, by God, I have not repented.

But no, by God, I have not repented

But no, by God, I have not repented.

فلا أتركُ تقبيلَ

فلا أتركُ تقبيلَ

خدودِ المردِ ما عشتُ

خدودِ المردِ ما عشتُ

So I will not give up kissing

I will not stop kissing

I shall not cease to kiss the cheeks

the cheeks of beardless youths as long as I live.

The cheeks of the rebel youth as long as I live

Of beardless youths as long as I live.

أرى المردَ يمليونَ

أرى المردَ يمليونَ

إليّ حيثما ملتُ

إليّ حيثما ملتُ

I see the beardless youths leaning

I see the rebel youth beckon

I see the youths inclining towards me,

toward me wherever I turn.

To me wherever I turn

Whichever way I turn or lean.
