Lyrics
Fogh in-nakhal fogh ya ba fogh in-nakhal fogh
medri lama’k khaddak ya ba medri l-ghomar fogh
walla marida balini balwa
w-inshidni l-batran ya ba lesh wajhak asfar wajhak asfar
kull marad ma biyya ya ba min dard il-asmar
walla sabini b’ayuno l’helwa
Traduzione: Sulle palme
Sulle palme, lassù
sulle palme, lassù
non so se éla tua gota che brilla
o la luna, lassù.
Io non voglio, ma la pena mi tormenta.
L’insolente mi chiede:
«Perchégiallastro éil tuo viso?»
Non ho nessuna malattia:
soffro per quella persona bruna
che m’imprigiona coi suoi dolci occhi.
Lyrics translation
Fogh in-Nakhal fogh ya ba fogh in-Nakhal fogh
medri Lama'k khaddak ya ba medri L-ghomar fogh
walla marida balini balwa
W-inshidni L-batran ya ba Lesh wajhak Asfar wajhak asfar
kull marad ma biyya ya ba min dard il-asmar
walla sabini B'ayuno L'elwa
Translation: Sulle palme
On the palm trees up there
on the palm trees up there
I don't know if it's your gota that shines
or the moon, up there.
I don't want to, but grief torments me.
The insolent asks me:
"Why is your face dark?»
I have no disease:
I suffer for that brown person
who imprisons me with his sweet eyes.
