قالتلي بريدك يا ولد عمي
She told me, I want you, cousin of mine.
تعا دوج العسل سايل على فمي
Come, the honey drips sweetly from my lips.
على مهلك علي ما بحمل الضمي
Take it easy on me, I can't hold the desire.
على مهلك علي دنا حيلة أبوي وأمي
Take it easy on me, I'm caught between my father and mother's plans.
نعناع الجنينة المسقي في حيضانه
The mint in the garden, watered in its greens.
شجر الموز طرح ضلل على عيدانه
The banana tree casts its shade on its branches.
نعناع الجنينة المسقي في حيضانه
The mint in the garden, watered in its greens.
شجر الموز طرح ضلل على عيدانه
The banana tree casts its shade on its branches.
في عشق البنات أنا فقت نابليون
In the love of girls, I surpassed Napoleon.
ترومبيلي وقف عجلاته بندريون
My trumpet stopped its wheels, a tangled mess.
قدمت شكوتى لحاكم الخرطوم
I presented my complaint to the ruler of Khartoum
أجل جلستي لما القيامة تقوم
Yes, I sat down when the Day of Judgment arises
نعناع الجنينة المسقي في حيضانه
Mint from the garden, watered in its bloom
شجر الموز طرح ضلل على عيدانه
Banana trees cast their shade on the branches
نعناع الجنينة المسقي في حيضانه
Mint from the garden, watered in its bloom
شجر الموز طرح ضلل على عيدانه
Banana trees cast their shade on the branches
سألت أيش الاسم قالوا البنات نعمات
I asked what their names were, they said the girls are Nemat
أم صابعين رطاب والباقي بلح آمهات
With two tender fingers and the rest like sweet dates
يوم ندهت علينا بيدها النعمات
On the day she called us with her hands, the blessings
قلت نعمين تلاتة وأربع خمس نعمات
I said, two, three, four, five blessings
نعناع الجنينة المسقي في حيضانه
Mint from the garden, watered in its flowers,
شجر الموز طرح ضلل على عيدانه
Banana trees cast their shade upon their branches,
نعناع الجنينة المسقي في حيضانه
Mint from the garden, watered in its flowers,
شجر الموز طرح ضلل على عيدانه
Banana trees cast their shade upon their branches,
خضارك زي جنينه وطرحت تينات
Your greens like a garden, showing off their blooms,
عودك في مشيته عامله منحنيات
Your walk has curves that sway gracefully,
عضامك لينه لايقين علي التانيات
Your bones are soft, fitting just right with the others,
تانيه واتنين تلات أربع خمس تانيات
Two, three, four, five, and back to two,
يا أم عقدين دهب تلاته وتلاتين تاره
Oh, mother of gold chains, thirty-three times around,
ما عينا رأت ماوردت علي بكاره
No eye has seen, nor has it bloomed on the young.
يوم طلت علينا الكل وقعوا سكاره
The day you appeared, everyone fell like drunkards.
سقطت في الحليب ما بينت له عكاره
I fell into the milk, it didn't show its cloudiness.
نعناع الجنينة المسقي في حيضانه
Mint of the garden, watered in its leaves.
شجر الموز طرح ضلل على عيدانه
The banana tree cast shade over its branches.
نعناع الجنينة المسقي في حيضانه
Mint of the garden, watered in its leaves.
شجر الموز طرح ضلل على عيدانه
The banana tree cast shade over its branches.
