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
