سيدي شكرك عندي

سيدي شكرك عندي

مثل شكري لإلهي

مثل شكري لإلهي

My lord, in my eyes, thanking you

My master, my gratitude to you

is like my thanks to my God.

Is like my gratitude to my God

سيدي سخفي الذي قد

سيدي سخفي الذي قد

صار يأتي بالدواهي

صار يأتي بالدواهي

My lord, my ribaldry, which has

My master, my foolishness that

begun bringing calamities—

Leads me to vice

أنت تدري أنه يد

أنت تدري أنه يد

فع عن مالي وجاهي

فع عن مالي وجاهي

you know that it wards

You know it is from lack of wealth and status

off harm from my wealth and my standing.

If only your enemies were with me

ليت من عاداك عندي

ليت من عاداك عندي

وهو ساهي الذقن لاهي

وهو ساهي الذقن لاهي

If only whoever opposes you were with me,

With his graying beard hanging down

while he is heedless of his chin, distracted;

You'd see his beard on his cheek as it is

فترى لحيته في است

فترى لحيته في است

ي إلى الصدغ كما هي

ي إلى الصدغ كما هي

then you would see his beard in my ass,

up to his temple, just as it is.
