Lli fat mat

Lli fat mat!

Defnu-h et-twala! Lli fat mat!

khetwa mwura khetwa, ishara mwura ishara,

gerreb men lli baid u khalli el-madi f-el-madi!

Ma tderr h’add!

Ma teh’sed h’add!

smaa el-maaqul, u kun karim!

Derrej l-uraq, qsem el-h’anana!

Lli dyal-ek dyal-u, nsa el-h’riq!

Ma tkun ghir nefs-ek!

El h'ayat terjaa u twulli ki l-melh'un, ki l-mel'hun!

What is past is dead and gone

what is past is dead and gone

the last have been buried

what is past is dead and gone.Step after step

gesture after gesture

get closer to the far distance and leave the past to the past!Don’t hurt anyone

don’t be jealous of anyone! Listen to the wise and be modest. Turn the page

share tenderness! What is yours is his! Forget the pain

be yourself

and from life

make a poem

make a poem...
