إليك الوردُ يا مريـــم
2ilayki lwardou ya maryam

– إليك الوردُ يا مريـــم يُهـــــدَى من أيادينـا
هَلُمــّي واقبَلـــي مِنّـا عُربــــــونَ حُــبٍّ
أكيــدٍ مــــع تهانينـــا (*2)
2ilayki lwardou ya maryam youhda men 2ayadina
haloummi wakbali menna 3ourbouna 7obben
2akiden ma3 tahanina (2)

– حــروبٌ تملأُ الأرضَ وضيقٌ فيهِ لن نَرضـــى
غـَـدَونا كلُّنــا مَرضـى وليـــــسَ فينــــا
سِـــــواكِ مَن يُداوينـــا
– 7ouroubon tamla2ou l2arda wadikon fihi lan narda
ghadawna koullouna marda walaysa fina
siwaki man youdawina

– على الأبوابِ أطفـــالُ لهـُـــمْ في العُمرِ آمـالُ
يَــذوبُ القلبُ إن قالــوا جودي عَلينــــا
فــإن الجـوع يضنينــا
– 3ala l2abwabi 2a6falou lahom fi l3omri 2amalou
yazoubou lkalbou 2en kalou 7inni 3alayna
bi2akwaten toughazzina

– نرومُ العفوَ يا مريــم لأنَّنــا قــد تركنــاكِ
نتـوبُ اليـومَ عن ذنـبٍ يــا أمَّ ربـــــــي
رضاهُ العمرَ يكفينــــا
2- naroumou l3afwa ya maryam li2annana kad taraknaki
natoubou lyawma 3an zanben ya 2oumma rabbi
ridahou l3oumra yakfina

– بإخــلاصٍ نُناديــكِ ونُنْمِــي حُبَّنـا فيـــكِ
ونَهوي النُّصحَ من فيـــكِ إذْ فــي الخطايـــــا
فسـادٌ الطبـعِ يرمينــا
– bi2i5lasen tounadiki watounmi 7oubbana fiki
wanahwi nnous7a man fiki 2iz fi l5a6aya
fasadou 66ab3i yarmina

Translation of the meaning

These roses are for you, O Mary, offered by our hands.
Come, accept from us this pledge of a true love,
with our good wishes. (×2)

Wars fill the earth, and distress we cannot accept;
we have all fallen sick,
and no one but you can heal us.

At our doors are children who still have hopes for their lives;
the heart melts when they say: “Be generous to us,
for hunger is wearing us down.”

We seek forgiveness, O Mary, for we have abandoned you;
today we repent of our sins, O Mother of my Lord:
his favour is enough for us all our lives.

With sincerity we call on you and let our love for you grow;
we long to hear counsel from your lips,
for our fallen nature throws us into sin.
