[Verse 1]
يا هلا بالضيف يا هلا، من درعا جينا يا هلا
Ya hala bil-dayf ya hala, min Daraa jeena ya hala
Welcome, guest, welcome, from Daraa we came, welcome
شفنا دالاس يا رجّال، فيها الحياة تحلى
Shofna Dallas ya rajjal, feeha al-haya tehla
We saw Dallas, oh man, life is sweeter there
نار المجوز ولّعت، والطبلة رقصت يا خيّال
Nar al-mijwez walla'at, w'al-tabla raqasat ya khayyal
The mijwiz fire lit up, and the tabla danced, oh rider
والدبكة قامت تهزّ، ويا زينها هالليالي
W'al-dabke qamat tehizz, ya zeinaha hal-layali
And the dabke started swaying, oh how beautiful these nights are
[Chorus]
دالاس يا دالاس، يا زين الليالي
Dallas ya Dallas, ya zein al-layali
Dallas, oh Dallas, oh the beauty of nights
فيها الحبايب والناس، يا عزّي يا غالي
Feeha al-habayeb w'al-nas, ya 'azzi ya ghali
It has loved ones and people, oh my pride, oh my dear
مهما بعدنا عنك، يا بلادي يا شمالي
Mahma ba'adna 'annak, ya biladi ya shamali
No matter how far we are from you, oh my country, oh my north
اسمك بقلبي ينحفر، يا دالاس يا غالي
Ismak bi-qalbi yanhifer, ya Dallas ya ghali
Your name is engraved in my heart, oh Dallas, oh dear
[Verse 2]
من شارع لشارع نمشي، والأضواء تلعب يا عيني
Min shari' la shari' namshi, w'al-adwa tal'ab ya 'ayni
From street to street we walk, and the lights play, oh my eyes
اللمة تجمعنا سوا، والغربة ما بتنسينا
Al-lamma tajma'na sawa, w'al-ghurba ma btansina
Gatherings bring us together, and expatriation doesn't make us forget
ريحة القهوة فاحت، والعود يطرب ويغنينا
Reehet al-qahwa fahat, w'al-'oud yutrib w'yghannina
The smell of coffee wafted, and the oud delights and sings to us
شباب وصبايا بتهتف، يا أهلنا وحبايبنا
Shabab w'sabaya btehtif, ya ahlna w'habayebna
Young men and women cheer, oh our people and loved ones
[Chorus]
دالاس يا دالاس، يا زين الليالي
Dallas ya Dallas, ya zein al-layali
Dallas, oh Dallas, oh the beauty of nights
فيها الحبايب والناس، يا عزّي يا غالي
Feeha al-habayeb w'al-nas, ya 'azzi ya ghali
It has loved ones and people, oh my pride, oh my dear
مهما بعدنا عنك، يا بلادي يا شمالي
Mahma ba'adna 'annak, ya biladi ya shamali

اسمك بقلبي ينحفر، يا دالاس يا غالي
Ismak bi-qalbi yanhifer, ya Dallas ya ghali

[Bridge]
يا حوراني يا أصيل، ويا سوري يا عنيد
Ya Hawrani ya aseel, w'ya Suri ya 'aneed
Oh Haurani, oh authentic one, and oh Syrian, oh stubborn one
نرفع راية الفرحة، مهما طال البعيد
Narfa' rayet al-farha, mahma tal al-ba'eed
We raise the banner of joy, no matter how long the distance
