1. Too long this life of sorrows has endured,
When shall the day of reckoning be secured?

2. My drunken stupor filled me with regret,
To all who slumber now, peace and respect.

3. Awake at dawn when night begins to fade,
The vineyard smiles, the wine flows unafraid.

4. With comrades dear I love to drink my fill,
The cup reveals a world of joy and thrill.

5. I love this land where noble Arabs dwelled,
Their speech enthralls me and my soul compelled.
