بلعت يوم بندقه

بلعت يوم بندقه

في لونها خضره

في لونها خضره

One day I swallowed a pellet,

I swallowed a rifle one day

With a green tinge to its color.

Green in color it was

رأيت بياض عيني

رأيت بياض عيني

قد صارت عليه حمره

قد صارت عليه حمره

I saw the white of my eye:

I saw the white of my eyes

Redness had come over it.

Turn red over it

وصرت عابر وخارج

وصرت عابر وخارج

بيتنا ما أدره

بيتنا ما أدره

And I began going in and out,

And I became a passerby and out

Unable to recognize our house.

Of our house I know not

وأنا ما أقشع شي

وأنا ما أقشع شي

لا برّه ولا جوّه

لا برّه ولا جوّه

And I could not see a thing,

And I unsettle nothing

Neither outside nor inside.

Neither outside nor inside
