لي بغلة قد أتعبت راحتي

لي بغلة قد أتعبت راحتي

والرجل من فخذي إلى كعبي

والرجل من فخذي إلى كعبي

I have a mule that has worn out my palm,

I have a mule that has wearied my rest,

and my leg, from my thigh to my ankle.

And from my thigh to my hoof is a pest.

طباعها خارجة كلها

طباعها خارجة كلها

وقط لا تمشي على الضرب

وقط لا تمشي على الضرب

All her ways are unruly,

Her nature's all over the place,

and she never walks in response to blows.

And she won't walk straight without a whack.
