بِأَبي ريمٌ تَبَلَّجَ لي

بِأَبي ريمٌ تَبَلَّجَ لي

عَنْ رِضىً في طَيِّهِ غَضَبُ

عَنْ رِضىً في طَيِّهِ غَضَبُ

May my father be ransom for a gazelle who beamed upon me,

with contentment that held anger in its folds.

وَأَراني صُبْحَ وَجْنَتِهِ

وَأَراني صُبْحَ وَجْنَتِهِ

بِظَلامِ الصُّدْغِ يَنْتَقِبُ

بِظَلامِ الصُّدْغِ يَنْتَقِبُ

And he showed me the dawn of his cheek,

veiling itself with the darkness of his temple-lock.

وَسَعى بِالْكَأْسِ مُتْرَعَةً

وَسَعى بِالْكَأْسِ مُتْرَعَةً

كَضِرامِ النَّارِ تَلْتَهِبُ

كَضِرامِ النَّارِ تَلْتَهِبُ

And he hastened with a brimming cup,

blazing like a flame of fire.

فَهْيَ شَمْسٌ بِيَدَيْ قَمَرٍ

فَهْيَ شَمْسٌ بِيَدَيْ قَمَرٍ

وَكِلا عِقْدَيْهِما الشُّهُبُ

وَكِلا عِقْدَيْهِما الشُّهُبُ

So it is a sun in the hands of a moon,

and both their necklaces are shooting stars.

وَلَها مِنْ ذاتِها طَرَبٌ

وَلَها مِنْ ذاتِها طَرَبٌ

فَلِهذا يَرْقُصُ الحَبَبُ

فَلِهذا يَرْقُصُ الحَبَبُ

And it has a rapture born of itself,

so for this reason the bubbles dance.
