ما كُنتُ أَحسَبُ أَنَّ أُمِّيَ عَلَّةٌ

ما كُنتُ أَحسَبُ أَنَّ أُمِّيَ عَلَّةٌ

حَتّى رَأَيتُ إِذي نُحازُ وَنُقتَلُ

حَتّى رَأَيتُ إِذي نُحازُ وَنُقتَلُ

I had not thought my mother was a co-wife,

I did not think my mother was flawed

Until I saw us being driven back and killed.

Until I saw that we were defeated and killed
