Texte de l'anthologie

My Misirlu, your sweet gaze
A flame has lit in my heart.
Ah, my habibi1

Your two lips are dripping with honey, ah.

Ah, Misirlu, magical, elven beauty.
I will go crazy, I can't suffer anymore.
Ah, I will steal you from Arabia.

My black-eyed and crazy Misirlu,
My life changes with a kiss...
