[Verse 1]
طارش رحت للبصرة
Tarish rihit lil Basra
As a messenger, I went to Basra
لاگتني وحدة سمره
Laagitni wahda samra
I met a brunette woman
ها سمره، منين نفوت؟
Ha samra, mineen nifoot?
Oh brunette, from where do we pass?
هاي النجف، هاي الكوت
Hay an-Najaf, hay al-Kut
This is Najaf, this is Kut
طولچ يا سمره ما يفوت
Toolich ya samra ma yifoot
Your height, oh brunette, is unforgettable
نوگفله، كون استعداد
Noogafleh, koon isti'dad
We stand for it, in readiness
حگچ علينا تتثگلين
Haggich 'aleena titthaggileen
You have the right to be proud of us
غير أحلى وحدة ببغداد
Ghayr ahla wahda bi Baghdad
You are the most beautiful one in Baghdad
مرضه والچ متعنين
Marda walich mit'anneen
Sick and longing for you
وعيونچ التنطي أمراد
Wa 'uyoonich it-tinti amrad
And your eyes grant wishes
سولفوا بالموصل بيچ
Sawlifoo bil Mosul beech
They talked about you in Mosul
دوختي حتى الأكراد
Dawwakhti hatta al-Akrad
You even captivated the Kurds
[Chorus]
أهل الهوى راح تموت
Ahl al-hawa rah tamoot
Lovers will die
هاي النجف
Hay an-Najaf
This is Najaf
[Verse 2]
السمره تگتل يا ناس
As-samra tigattil ya nas
The brunette kills, oh people
خلّت بگلبي علّة
Khallat bi galbi 'illa
She left a sickness in my heart
حرت بمشيها من تفوت
Hirt bi mashyiha min tifoot
I was confused by her walk when she passes
تاخذ إحساسي كلّه
Takhudh ihsasi kullih
She takes all my feelings
لو گتلي عنها الياقوت
Law gittli 'anha al-yaqoot
If you told me about her, 'ruby'
لأعمي، گتلك أحلى
Li'ami, gittlak ahla
I'd say, 'my uncle, she's more beautiful'
من سألتها: إنتِ منين؟
Min sa'altaha: 'Inti mineen?'
When I asked her: 'Where are you from?'
گالت: آني من الحلّة
Galat: 'Ani min al-Hilla'
She said: 'I am from Al-Hilla'
[Outro]
يگتلني يا عمي الصوت
Yigattilni ya 'ammi as-sawt
The sound kills me, my uncle
هاي النجف
