Αλεξάνδρεια [Alexándreia] [English translation]

The Alexandrian clear sky,

when it comes to love, is durable like a diamond

and as it's reflected warm in the sea

you say "ya salam"(=how lovely) here's a meritorious salary

Oh "ya salam" how was I supposed to imagine this

this autumn is so sweet

this sky of the fall

is the authentic Alexandrian one

One of my harbors is western

the other one, the old one, is eastern

I have an airport to the north

and an ancient lighthouse to the south

Yes the sky, the clear and authentic one

is so durable in Alexandria

that when wave crashes over Qaitbay1

Love says "Padan padan oh ya salam"

"Ya salam" means I have forgiven so many things

that I forgave even my demon

for all his passions, the wild ones

"ya salam" means Alexandria
