أَسعَدَكَ اللَهُ بِيَوم الفَصح

وَعِشتَ ما شِئتَ بِيَومٍ سَمحِ

May God make you happy on Easter day

And may you live as long as you wish on a generous day

يا رَأسَ مالي في الوَرى وَرِبحي

وَظَفَري وَنصرَتي وَنجحي

O my capital in the world and my profit

And my triumph, and my aid, and my success

شرباً وَلا تَصغِ لِأَهل النُصحِ

فَالحَزم أَن تسكر قَبل نُصحي

Drink and do not listen to people's advice

For prudence is that you get drunk before I advise you

سكرَ النَصارى في غُداة الفصحِ

Christians get drunk on the morning of Easter
