Hi,

Translated by me with a help from Oriee. I hope you enjoy it

غزالة غزالة طاب جرحي طاب
Ghazaly ghazaly tab jour7y tab
Oh pretty woman, make sweet my wound

والقمر سلاني يا عيني نص الليل وغاب
W el amar salany ya 3ayni nouss elleyl w ghab
And the moon consoled me for half of the night and then hid itself


وان كان بدك تعشق تاجر بالحرير
W In kan baddak ta3she2 tajer bel7areer
If you want to fall in love , trade in silk

والعشق والله يا سيدي بدو مال كتير
W el3ashe2 w allah ya saydi beddou mal ikthir
But I swear that passion has a high cost. Yes sir !


وان كان بدك تعشق تاجر بالألماس
W In kan baddak ta3she2 tajer belalmas
If you want to fall in love, trade in diamonds

والعشق والله يا سيدي بشيب الراس
W el3ashe2 w allah ya seydi besheeb erras
But I swear that passion whiten the head/hairs. Yes sir !
