الزير [Al Zeer] [English translation]

Al-Zeer1

Come on, get up right and left

I hear clapping and the sound of a tar2

And the zeer plays with my heart

I don't know what happened to me

And the zeer plays with my heart

I don't know what happened to me

Come here by my side

We do not want sadness and suffering

Your breath3 is worth the world to me

May God crown4 our happiness

Oh Zeer, describe my state

What is the reason of my happiness?

As long as my lover is by my heart,

My laugh will not leave me.

1. The zeer or Al-zeer is a sort of drum used in parts of the Arab world. It is considered a heritage of Saudi Arabia to be precise. It is made out of animal hide and is played usually with a drum stick. It can be heard in the song. Here's a picture: http://www.al-madina.com/node/423173#2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_(drum)
