يا حلالي يا مالي [Ya Halali Ya Mali] [English translation]

Life is short, what's your problem? Why are you arrogant?

Why do you forget the agents of good and follow the agents of evil?

No matter how high you build or fly, there is no escape from death!

Worship God the enabler and strengthen your heart with faith.

The prophet [Mohammed] hide in the cave, the wild bird built a nest

It carried the spider and flew, that's divine might

He was escaping from the indels, he went out at night in hiding

But God the mighty delivered him with strength and faith.

The door that brings in the wind, reach out your hand and close it [i.e., avoid trouble]

Stay away from it and you'll find comfort, don't sit near it

Work hard and speak honestly; strengthen the voice of Truth

Christ talked in his crib, that's divine will.

I'd like to give you some sayings of folk wisdom:

Two thirds of the kid is from the mother's brother, and that's how the whole forms

And he who doesn't see from the sieve, then his eyes must be blind

I said of the eyes of the gazelle's mother, and so goes the Arabic sayings.

Why does the neighbor become the enemy of his neighbor, and we forget the best advice,

The advice of our prophet, the chosen one, to the Islamic nation?

Most of us are becoming infidels, Muslims only on our ID

Have mercy on us God almighty, we're lost in this age.

We've become a divided people, who will unite us?

We've wandered far far away from God and religion

[unclear] and improve our situation

But God the great has not forgotten us.

Here's some advice, my cousin, take it to heart:

Walk on the right paths, all else can go to the sea

People want \he said she said", any story to tell

Don't bother with cheap talk, just protect your tongue [from falsehood]

He who plants the seed of good will reap it

And those who reach for good will get closer to it

There is a lot of lying, beat your way through it with your sword

And walk the easy path, you will reach your destination safely.
