اخويا راح مع الفجر, رجعوه ليااخويا بقعر البحر, لسه ما عاد ليا
oh night, shelter me, shelter me by your darknessoh night, fill me, strengthen me by your darknessmy brother, he saw the secret and was about to revealmy brother, he's inside the waves, whining
and the fishermen are all asleep
oh sea, return my brother, return my brother back to methe waves robbed, they robbed my brotherI took him to the sea, perhaps the water would purify himI took him to the sea, stained the water with his blood
and the fishermen, they're all incurious, inactive and sleeping
my brother's with the mermaid, return him back to methe waves has took my brother, return him back to me
my brother's gone with dawn, return him back to memy brother is in the bottom of the sea, he hasn't came back yet
