Those where the days of the master
Listen to the sweet tunes of Waziery’s strings
Those were the days
Those were the days
Those were the days of the master

The night is passing
The night is passing, my mother
I am a stranger in the night, Ya Youmma*
The night is passing
The night is passing, oh what a loss
*Ya Youmma: Bedouin world evoking nostalgia and the call of the past

“Get up and take your freedom”
And said to all the people around the world
“Get up and take your freedom”

We sat and drank the finest drink
Under the bough of the Beech tree
