ما كُنتَ مَن يَهوى التيو

ما كُنتَ مَن يَهوى التيو

سَ وَكُنتَ مَن يَهوى البَقَر

سَ وَكُنتَ مَن يَهوى البَقَر

You were not one who loved billy-goats,

You were not one who adored the monsters

But you were one who loved cattle.

And you were not one who adored the cows

عِجلُ المَجوسِ مِنَ النّحا

عِجلُ المَجوسِ مِنَ النّحا

سِ وَأَنتَ عِجلُكَ مِن حَجَر

سِ وَأَنتَ عِجلُكَ مِن حَجَر

The Magians' calf is made of copper,

The calf of the Magi is from ostriches

And as for you, your calf is made of stone.

While your calf is from stone
