Edony was the name of an Egyptian princess A model of beauty, brilliance and perfect grace Once, she decided to arrange a party for a certain of her friends
Edony, your hair is flooding like a golden rain Just clap your hands and I will come again
Edony first saw a grocer And bought from him dry fruits, shelled almonds and all for a dessert She was talking in this rather stoned and most refined language
Edony, I'll do anything to be your friend Just clap your hands and I will come again
Edony then saw a perfumer And took from him two loaves of sugar and orange flowers She was walking smoothly, her shoes pearled with silver Later on, the party was going on The guests were all cheering and applauding It led the merchants of Tunis to the gates of the mansion
Edony asked everybody to come on in The rumour of the festivies was heard all over Tunis This is how is born the word : hedonist
