Lyrics:

نعناع الجنينة
The Mint Garden

قالت تقصد ايه ياللى انت بتغازلنا
She said what do you mean, you who is always flirting
واقف فى طريقنا ان كان طلعنا نزلنا
always standing in our way whenever we go up or down
مواعدين بعضنا من صغرنا ومازلنا
we're promised to each other since our youth and still are
مانفوت بعضنا حتى التراب يعزلنا
we won't leave each other until the dust do us apart


نعناع الجنينة المسقى فى حيضانه
the mint gardens quenched within their sinks
سجر الموز طرح ضلل على عيدانه
the banana trees unfurled their bounty shading their branches


امبارح العصر جرس البرنسيس رنّه
Yesterday afternoon the prince's bell rang
فتحت ليا باب شمّيت روايح الجنّه
She opened a door and I smelled the scents of heaven
قالت يالحبيب اصبر قليل استنى
She said to the beloved, be a little patient wait
بعد الناس تنوم كل ماتعوزه اتمنى
after people sleep, all that you desire you can ask for


طالع للفسح والناس ولا ماراه
Heading to the open fields and the people can't pass them
وانا تعبان واتدلع استب غير لابراه
and i'm tired and coyish....()
اتاوب تمطى جاب الايادى وراه
they reached and stretched bringing their hands behind them
قام شرط القميص نهده طلع براه
their shirt split open and their breast popped out


رايد اكلمك كل ساعة فى وسعتنا
I want to talk to you every hour in our courtyard
من بعد الضهر نركب ضهر ناقتنا
and after noon we ride our steed
قالت نعمل ايه لو العرب شافتنا
she said what would we do if the arabs saw us
قولت قولى دا عمى وساقته جار ساقتنا
I said, say that's my uncle and his home is near ours


خضارك زى جنينة وطرحت تينات
your green lushness is like a garden producing figs
عودك فى مشيته عاملو منحنيات
your body (branch) in its walk is making dips
عضامك لينه لايقين على التنيات
your bones are malleable suited for bending
تانية واتنين تلاته اربع خمس تنيات
bend, twice, thrice, four, and five bends


امبارح عالعشا خبطت باب الاوضه
last night I knocked on the bedroom door
فتحت ليا واحدة كيف بنات الروضه
opened for me one who looked like the daughters of eden
بشويش دلّت قميصها وغيرت عالموضه
slowly she took off her shirt and changed into nothing
قام ضرب الايشى كسر بلاط الاوضه
so he hit that thing and broke the bedroom tiles


طالع للفسح فى حله الكشاف
heading to the open fields in the kushaf neighborhood
كيف اوحلتنا والارض تحتى نشاف
how did she get us stuck in mud when the ground below is dry
آه لو رأيت قميصها الشفاف
Oh if you could see her see-through dress
ياوقعه اللى رأى وياحسره اللى ماشاف
fallen are those who see, and too bad for those who missed


نعناع الجنينة المسقى فى حيضانه
the mind gardens quenched in their sinks
سجر الموز طرح ضلل على عيدانه
the banana trees unfurling their bounty shading the branches
