يا لَيالِيَّ بِالمَطيرَةِ وَالكَر

خِ وَديَرِ السُوِسِيِّ بِاللَهِ عودي

Oh nights of rain and monastery,

Deir Al-Soussi, by God return to me,

كُنتِ عِندي أَنموذَجاتٍ

مِنَ الجَنَّةِ لكِنَّها بِغَيرِ خُلودِ

You were to me models,

Of heaven, but without eternity,

أَشرَبُ الراحَ وَهِيَ تَشرَبُ عَقلي

وَعَلى ذاكَ كانَ قَتلُ الوَليدِ

I drink liquor while it drinks my mind,

And for that Al-Walid was killed.
