1. Peace of love be upon you, O valley
For your overflowing river cools livers

2. If only I could sleep on the gems’ essence
To slumber to the tunes of your singing birds

3. The willow hovered like a lover
Over a green bank in the shade of twigs

4. How beautiful was its dangling and humbleness
Near gurgling maidens, bellowing waterskins

5. It swayed coquettishly with a delicate rustle
Echoing the sighs of passionate lovers or the chanting of the guide

6. How many days have passed you by swiftly
How many sounds and trunk creaks in you

7. How much dreams, joy and strolling in you
And greetings of peace and happiness for delight

8. May God make my days enjoyable over you
With companions at the best promised time

9. The pleasures have passed like a flock and I hunted them
With fortunate snares for tamed wishes

10. The loveliest day was when our intoxication lengthened
As the monastery set free the daughter of music

11. And the day we sang over a flowering body
That provokes the memories of love and the guiding passion

12. Do the banks still sing after our dispersal?
We altogether, some sleeping and some awake

13. We yearn for your days of love, O valley
And I don’t think we are ever returning to you

14. A beloved of ours from your cave
That has become a place of intimacy and hunters' shrine

15. An ostrich, shade from rocks and a stream
And a lit fireplace however it was sparked

16. Valleys of the Kalb river, you still abound
With white waters and green twigs

17. So I hear on a winter night after it has cleared up
The echoing roar after the pouring rain
