غَنَّتْ بَلاَبِلُهَا إِذْ سَالَ وَادِيهَا
Tetouan, Tetouan—nothing rivals her.
Tetouan, Tetouan, nothing compares to it
Tetouan, Tetouan, nothing compares to her,
Her nightingales sang when her valley flowed.
Its nightingales sang as its valley flowed
Her nightingales sang as her valley flowed,
وَالْفَجْرِby dawn وَاللَّيْلِand by night لَوْلاَwere it not for بَعْضُsome مَاwhat فِيهَاin her
وَالْفَجْرِ وَاللَّيْلِ لَوْلاَ بَعْضُ مَا فِيهَا
لَمَاwould not have نَوَيْتُI intended رَحِيلاًa departure عَنْfrom مَغَانِيهَاher abodes
لَمَا نَوَيْتُ رَحِيلاً عَنْ مَغَانِيهَا
By dawn and by night, were it not for some of what she holds,
Were it not for some of what's in it
By the dawn and the night, were it not for some of what she holds,
I would not have intended to depart from her abodes.
At dawn and night, I'd not have wished to leave its meadows
I would never have resolved to depart from her abodes.
