Claude 2

  1. يا رب مثقلة تنوء بحملها

    تسقي البلاد بوابل غيداق

    O Lord, heavy are the clouds barely able to carry their load

    Watering the lands with pouring rain

  2. مرت فويق الأرض تسحب ذيلها

    والريح تحملها على الأعناق

    Passing above the earth, dragging their tails

    And the wind carries them on its shoulders

  3. ودنت فكان الترب ينهض نحوها

    كنهوض مشتاق إلى مشتاق

    They approached and the soil rose up toward them

    As a longing lover rises toward the longed

  4. فكانما جاءت تقبل أرضه

    أو حاولت منه لطيف عناق

    It was as if the clouds came to kiss the earth

    Or tried to tenderly embrace it
