Au Café des délices [French translation]

Your memories are fading

It feels like an eclipse

A night full of stars

On the Tunis port

The wind from the fan

Of your seated grandfather

At the Café des Délices

Your memories fade away

You see the tram pass by

And the whiteness of the veils

Of women carrying their sons

And the smell of the jasmine

He was holding in his hands

At the Café des Délices

Yalil yalil habibi yalil yalil yalil habibi yalil1

Yalil yalil habibi yalil yalil yalil habibi yalil

Your memories fade away

You see the girl again

The kiss that hurts

At Port El Kantaoui

The first love words

Upon velvet songs

Habibi habibi2

Your memories fade away

You loved these fruits

The apricot pips

Were your marbles

And the party evenings

We were having in our minds

On the beaches of Hammamet

Yalil yalil habibi yalil yalil yalil habibi yalil

Yalil yalil habibi yalil yalil yalil habibi yalil

Yalil yalil habibi yalil yalil yalil habibi yalil

Yalil yalil habibi yalil yalil yalil habibi yalil

Your memories fade away

At the front of the ship

And that quay left behind

Towards a new world

A life that stops

For a new day starting

It might be a chance

Yalil yalil3 you shall not forget

Yalil yalil these old perfumes

Yalil yalil you shall not forget

Yalil yalil even if you leave

Yalil yalil habibi yalil yalil yalil habibi yalil

Yalil yalil habibi yalil yalil yalil habibi yalil

Yalil yalil habibi yalil yalil yalil habibi yalil

Yalil yalil habibi yalil yalil yalil habibi yalil

A night full of stars

On the Tunis port

And the whiteness of the veils

Of women carrying their sons

The wind from the fan

Of your seated grandfather

And the smell of the jasmine

He was holding in his hands

At the Café des Délices

Yalil yalil habibi yalil yalil yalil habibi yalil

Yalil yalil habibi yalil yalil yalil habibi yalil

Yalil yalil habibi yalil yalil yalil habibi yalil

Yalil yalil habibi yalil yalil yalil habibi yalil

At the Café des Délices
