Wa yetale'uk al hebus

Wa yesamsemu hali min hobbak al ghali

Dala dala ya rashal

Translation:
Slowly, slowly my love
Keep still, so they don't hear you...
For if they do, they'll throw you in jail,
And cut my throat!
Slowly, slowly my love
Keep still, so they don't hear you...
For to my throat they'll bring a knife
For loving you,
I give my life.
