O Lord, your people obtained from you what they asked for.
O rose, your people have taken from you what they wanted
Yet hopes and desires eluded Egypt.
And Egypt's hopes and glories have gone astray

So today in Egypt, everyone flew for joy,
Today in Egypt everyone has flown with joy
Even the young pigeons flew from your thresholds.
Even the sparrows from your thresholds have flown away
