Iswegh Attay

Taqqalahi tisnant alshash
Ere s taqqal sallul asraf
Eswegh atay ihan elkas
Azzar s-ulhin har tisantas
 
Tennedahi ham wer djennegh
Fel nammoqqas hamti-d sektugh
Eswegh atay ihan elkas
Azzar s-ulhin har tisantas
 
Ere s taqqal sallul asraf
Ed es nedjet nammos aslaf
Eswegh atay ihan elkas
Azzar s-ulhin har tisantas
 
Tamat tidagh dagh dassidjegh
Wer asbakegh wer aqqimagh
Eswegh atay ihan elkas
Azzar s-ulhin har tisantas
 
Akfor ahar abrur edjar
Muchan arne berin labkhar
Eswegh atay ihan elkas
Azzar s-ulhin har tisantas

I Drank Some Tea

This pain is burden
If only my cell would turn into an open plain
I drank a glass of tea
That scorched my heart first
 
You told me something and I never answered
But if we meet one day, I will answer
I drank a glass of tea
That scorched my heart first
 
This woman, who I glimpsed
Without even sitting down or kneeling
I drank a glass of tea
That scorched my heart first
 
If only this cell could become as vast as a prairie
I'd fly off like a bird
I drank a glass of tea
That scorched my heart first
 
The lion is intrepid and the frog is vulnerable
But the latter is better at finding the path of water
I drank a glass of tea
That scorched my heart first

I drank a glass of tea
That scorched my heart first
That scorched my heart first
