1. نزّهوني في البستان

    والمُشيمش في الأغصان

    They took me to the orchard

    With the apricots on the branches

  2. وإن كان لي من تداني

    للأكل فالبسط داني

    And if I dare to reach

    To eat, then spread out my robe

  3. ما أحسن السبتان بالمشمش

    والغُصَينات به تتنشنش

    How beautiful are the apricots with the apricots

    And the little branches are full of them

  4. ما لي لعقلي بيدهش

    يا ناس يطلب حراني

    Why is my mind so confused

    Oh people, it makes me feel delirious

  5. نخلة المشمش قد باضت

    والمويزة منها انغاظت

    The apricot tree has ripened

    And the apricots have become abundant

  6. قامت اتّعرّت وخاضت

    في قطر آه لو أتاني

    It stood up, became nude, and delved

    Into drops - oh if only it would come to me

  7. ما أحسنك يا توت التوته

    يا خُتيم الحدوته

    How beautiful you are, o mulberry

    O seal of the whales

  8. في البحر كم حُوت وحوته

    منهم تراني في أمان

    In the sea many whales and little whales

    Among them you see me safe
