ُنادي لِجيرانِنا يَقصِدوا

ُنادي لِجيرانِنا يَقصِدوا

فَنَقضي اللُبانَةَ أَو نَعهَدُ

فَنَقضي اللُبانَةَ أَو نَعهَدُ

I call out to our neighbors, that they may come our way,

Call to our neighbors, let them visit

so we may satisfy our longing or make a pledge.

So we spend the evening, or make a pact

كَأَنَّ عَلى كَبِدي قُرحَةً

كَأَنَّ عَلى كَبِدي قُرحَةً

حَذارًا مِنَ البَنِ ما تَبرُدُ

حَذارًا مِنَ البَنِ ما تَبرُدُ

It is as though a sore lies upon my liver,

As if there's an ulcer on my liver

never cooling, for fear of parting.

Beware of coffee, don't let it get cold
