فَلا صُلح حَتّى نرويَ السَيفَ وَالقَنا

فَلا صُلح حَتّى نرويَ السَيفَ وَالقَنا

وَتَأخُذ عَبدُ الواد مِنكُم بِثارِها

وَتَأخُذ عَبدُ الواد مِنكُم بِثارِها

So no peace until we slake the thirst of the sword and spears,

So no peace until we quench the sword and the spear

and ʿAbd al-Wād takes its vengeance on you,

And Abdelwad takes from you his due revenge

وَأَشفي غَليلي مِن مَرينَ الَّتي طَغَت

وَأَشفي غَليلي مِن مَرينَ الَّتي طَغَت

بسبي غَوانيها وَقتل خِيارها

بسبي غَوانيها وَقتل خِيارها

and I quench my burning thirst for vengeance on Marīn, which transgressed,

And I relieve my anguish from Marin, so arrogant

by taking its fair women captive and killing its finest.

For capturing my loved ones and killing the best of them
