Ala ya uma fadaitysh
Guli lalkheli lilgali.
Ala walla lagani
Ala mavesa wahakani.

Oh, let him be at my side.
His head will rest upon my breast,
His eyes reflecting in my eyes.
I am his sister, I'm his bride.
Oh, I adjure you that my love
And I would never be apart
Because without him sorrow rises
To the sky of my heart.

Ala nazalti wadish
Aris wa'ana zaghir jahey.
Ala dohosti galu
Jami'a anas anas tahel.

Oh, let him be at my side.
His head will rest upon my breast,
His eyes reflecting in my eyes.
I am his sister, I'm his bride.
Oh I adjure you that my love
And I would never be apart
Because without him sorrow rises
To the sky of my heart.
