We're trying to learn to sing the first verse. Here are the lyrics, with a rough translation:
| Arabic | Arabic (transliterated) | English |
|---|---|---|
| وين عرام الله وين عرام الله ولفي يا مسافر وين عرام الله داب قلبي والله داب قلبي والله يوم الودعتك داب قلبي والله |
Wein a Rhamallah Wein a Rhamallah Wilfi ya'msafer Wein a Rhamallah Dab galbi wala Dab galbi wala Youm il waadahtak Dab galbi wala |
Where are you going? To Ramallah Where? To Ramallah Stop by, oh traveller Where? To Ramallah I swear, my heart has melted I swear, my heart has melted The day I said goodbye to you I swear, my heart has melted |
