Charles Tooma - Arayateh

shkhonta min gomra, doola bepraqa
shinta min ainee, hajaz beraqa
khabranee khilyeh, mokhabneh qatakh
mokhaben ainee, qitlon go patakh

sanqatwa l'dana, shinneh k'yawinnwa
6albatwa shinneh, khayee dokhinwa
kh6eeta d'biryalee, m'khobbee qamaya
dowin basoomoh, be khamra d'noqaya

kma arayateh, khe6inneh libbee
makh lkhepeh d'qir6eh kma, kma
kma metilyateh, mabliggen honee
be 6a'alyatakh kma, kma
zoda min arra, d'qabla l'rodana
sniqlakh ah libbee, kma, kma
zoda min badla, peesheleh heera
min khishka o khoya kma, kma qablin kma
kma qablin kma, kma qablin kma
kma qablin kma, kma qablin kma
