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
