فوق النخل فوق يابه فوق النخل فوق above the palm trees (oh dad) above the palm trees
مدري لامع خده يابه مدري القمر فوق I don't know his cheeks are glowing..? (oh dad) I don't know that the moon is up..?
والله ما ريده وباليني بلوه آه I swear I don't want he is adding my burdens
خدك لمع ياهواي وأضوه على البلاد your cheek's glowing , oh my love, and it lighted up the whole country
مقدر أصبر الروح واتحمل البعاد I can't make the soul more patient and bear this distance
والله معذبني بعيونه الحلوة I swear he is torturing me with his beautiful eyes
كل البلام تفوت يابه عيني على بلمك all the ships are passing ,(oh dad) your ship -
ومن الهوى والروح ربي يسلمك from love and soul (meaning these things can torture a person so here he's praying that God will save his lover from these things)
والله معذبني وما عنده مروة I swear he's torturing me and he doesn't have mercy
