At Last, Our Refuge

nassam ‘alayna el-hawa

men mafra’ el-wadi

ya hawa dakhl el-hawa

khedny ‘ala blady

ya hawa ya hawa

yally tayer bel-hawa

fe mantoura ta’a w soura

khedny la ‘endon ya hawa

fez’ane ya alby

ekbar be hal-ghorbe

w ma te’refny blady

khedny, khedny

khedny ‘ala blady

nassam ‘alayna el-hawa

men mafra’ el-wadi

ya hawa dakhl el-hawa

khedny ‘ala blady

English Translation:

The air breezed upon us

From the split of the valley

Oh breeze, for love's sake

Take me home

 

Oh love, oh love

That is flying in the breeze

There's a mantoura (type of flower) with energy

and image

Take me to my home

 

I'm scared, my heart

To grow up in this estrangement

Any from my home wouldn't recognize me

Take me, take me

Take me home
