ايحين ايوقع لي بيت؟
(ذلحين معش خيمه)
او على الاقل عشه زغيره

ادور لي شغله بشقاء
(بالنظافه او بالتراب)

Where will I stake a home?
(You have a tent for now)
Or at least a small shack
(Along with four other families)
And here I will raise a family
(Don’t let them take your daughter)
I’ll find myself a job with an income
(Either in cleaning or working the earth)

And I will learn the language
(Lose the accent)
With time I’ll feel like I belong
