Wil muf-taH a’an-dal Had-dad

Wil Had-dad bid-dool bay-Duh

Wil bay-Duh a’an-da ja-jeh

Wi ja-jeh bid-hal ‘am-Ha

Wil ‘am-Ha b’-Taw-hoo-nee

Wa Taw-hoo-neem seck-ree

Kull-al- ow-lad  tur-’us ru’ss 

دربكة يا دربكة

راح جوزك عا مكة

جبلك فستان الموضا

 علقتيه بالأوضة

والأوضة بدها المفتاح

والمفتاح عند الحداد

والحداد بدوالبيضة

والبيضة عند الجاجة

والجاجة بدها القمحة

و القمحة بالطحونة 

والطحونة مسكّرِة

فيها ماي معكرة 

وهون مقص، وهون مقص

كل الأولاد ترقص رقص

 

Drum Oh Drum

Your husband left to “Mecc-um”

He brought you a stylish dress

You hung it in the room

& the room (Turkish) wants a key

& the key is with the metalsmith

& the metalsmith wants an egg

& the egg is with the chicken

The chicken wants wheat

The wheat is in the windmill

The windmill is closed

The water is dirty

It cuts , it cuts

All the kids dance a dance
