لي مَطْبَخٌ راجَعَ عَصْرَ الصِّبا

لي مَطْبَخٌ راجَعَ عَصْرَ الصِّبا

وَطِيبُهُ مِن عَصْرِكَ المُذْهَبِ

وَطِيبُهُ مِن عَصْرِكَ المُذْهَبِ

I have a kitchen that has returned to its youth,

I have a kitchen that takes me back to my youth,

And its fragrance comes from your golden age.

And its fragrance comes from your golden age.

بيّضتَ وَجْهي حِينَ سَوَّدتَهُ

بيّضتَ وَجْهي حِينَ سَوَّدتَهُ

إذْ باتَ ضَيْفي وَهْوَ لَمْ يَسْغُبِ

إذْ باتَ ضَيْفي وَهْوَ لَمْ يَسْغُبِ

You whitened my face when you blackened the kitchen,

You whitened my face when you darkened it,

For my guest spent the night without going hungry.

When my guest spent the night unsatisfied.
