Najd Lyrics English Translation by Sultan Khalifa
The lyrics tell the story of a love that lives inside the desert’s borders. When she lets down that braid, my heart neighs. The breeze that lifts her dress sparks a fuse in the chest.
نجد موعوده بمطرNajd is promised rain,
غيمها جاب الخبرIts clouds have brought the news.
لي بين قاصرها حبيبI have a beloved within its borders,
يسوى العرب بدو وحضرWho’s worth more than all the Arabs, both nomads and settlers.
لا فرع بذيك الجديلهWhen she lets down that braid of hers,
اسمع لقلبي صهيلهI can hear my heart letting out a wild neigh.
ثم لاعب النساس ثوبهAnd when the gentle breeze plays with her dress,
شبوا بصدري فتيلهIt’s like they’ve lit a fuse inside my chest.
حبين في قلب استووTwo loves have become one inside my heart,
يانجد انتي وفيتك اهوOh Najd, it’s both you and the love I have for her.
ماعاد فيها إلا التمامThere’s nothing left to do but make it whole,
والجو ممطور وحلوWhile the air is rainy and sweet.
