أَسعَدَكَ اللَهُ بِيَوم الفَصح

أَسعَدَكَ اللَهُ بِيَوم الفَصح

وَعِشتَ ما شِئتَ بِيَومٍ سَمحِ

وَعِشتَ ما شِئتَ بِيَومٍ سَمحِ

May God gladden you on Easter Day.

May God make you happy on Easter day

And may you live as long as you wish, on a gracious day.

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

يا رَأسَ مالي في الوَرى وَرِبحي

يا رَأسَ مالي في الوَرى وَرِبحي

وَظَفَري وَنصرَتي وَنجحي

وَظَفَري وَنصرَتي وَنجحي

O my capital among humankind, and my profit,

O my capital in the world and my profit

And my triumph, and my victory, and my success—

And my triumph, and my aid, and my success

شرباً وَلا تَصغِ لِأَهل النُصحِ

شرباً وَلا تَصغِ لِأَهل النُصحِ

فَالحَزم أَن تسكر قَبل نُصحي

فَالحَزم أَن تسكر قَبل نُصحي

Drink, and pay no heed to those who give counsel;

Drink and do not listen to people's advice

For prudence is to get drunk before I counsel you,

For prudence is that you get drunk before I advise you

سكرَ النَصارى في غُداة الفصحِ

سكرَ النَصارى في غُداة الفصحِ

With the drunkenness of Christians on Easter morning.
