Fairuz - Hayyi-l-Biyya'in (Peddlers' Quarter) lyrics

rate me

Take me

to the peddler's quarter

O peddling woman

and sell me to my lover

in the vendors' square.

My next of kin

put me guard on the garden

they instructed me and said

that I must watch over

the garden

but my eyes dozed off

little by little

the thieves sneaked in

and stole the orchards.

My mother has lost me

at the end of the crossroads

I wept but she didn't hear me

then I was taken by the crossroads.

Tell him to hear me

and return me to my mother

I'm afraid he'll lose me

and look for the pretty ones.<br />
