ظَلَلنا نُسقى سُكَّراً حامِضاً

غَصباً عَلى أَنفُسِنا قَسرا

We were forced to drink bitter syrup

Against our will by force

وَنَقلُنا مِن قَصَبٍ يابِسٍ

كَأَنَّنا نَعمَلُ آجُرّا

And we were transferred from dry cane

As if we were making bricks

وَعِندَنا مَن يَتَغَنّى لَنا

كَأَنَّهُ مِن فَمِهِ يَخرا

And we have someone who sings to us

As if excrement comes out of his mouth
