الوردة البيضاء
آني ورده بيضه شكلي جميل
ما احلى جمالي لمن أميل
ياصغار ياكبار أشربو الحليب
للصحه لقوة أسألو الطبيب
أشرب على مهلك وأذكر الألـه
لازم تشكر ربك أبداً أبداً ماتنساه
I am a white rose, my shape is beautiful.
What a beautiful beauty when swaying
Hey children, hey adults, drink milk
For health, for power, ask the doctor.
Drink slowly and mention God
You must thank God and never, never forget him.
