1. My dear, I do not want you just for youth
So cease the coquetry that surrounds us and your flirtation
١. أَصَلاحُ أَنّي لا أُريدُكِ لِلصِّبا
فَدَعي التَشَمُّلَ حَولَنا وَتَبَذَّلي
2. I want you for the dough, and for comfort
For carrying our food, and cooking the frying pan
٢. إِنّي أُريدُكِ لِلعَجينِ وَلِلرَّحا
وَلِحَملِ قِربَتِنا وَطَبخِ المِرجَلِ
3. And when the guest of your family goes out to get some air or leaves
Take the food to your family’s next welcoming guest
٣. وَإِذا تَرَوَّحَ ضَيفُ أَهلِكِ أَوغَدا
فَخُذي لِآخَرَ نَحوَ أَهلِكِ مُقبِلِ
