A-WA - Lau Ma Al Mahaba

I swear, if not for love, Oh, you noble son... I would give you a final sip [And you would be] Not for me and not for the people

I swear, if not for love The precious is cheapened, And brings you the sweet one down From your high home

Not for me, and not for the people

I swear, if not for the rumors of the people And the jealousy, I would take my loved one on my shoulders And set out away

And my loved ones left me May they not be bestowed favorably They cut my wings Like they cut the wings of a bird

Not for me, and not for the people
