تهد من قلب الشجى طودا
Whenever his dark eye gazes,
When the melancholic song of the rain drops
It topples a mountain from the sorrowful one's heart.
It topples mountains of grief and sorrow

Do not marvel at my madness, for
Do not be surprised by my madness
Black bile has taken command of my soul.
For the rain has taken over my mind
