I Want to Fly [English translation]

I want to fly!

My eyes are like a little bird's

A bit afraid

My eyes are like a little bird's

A bit ashamed

I am flying so far away

Soon we'll play another game

We need luck to go on

The groom and the bride

We need luck to go on

The groom and the bride

I am flying so far away,

I need your help, yah, yah, yah.

The Henna ceremony is now,1

The Henna ceremony is now.

The mountains sing and rejoice,

the groom and bride are lovers.

Henna ceremony is now,

Henna ceremony is now.

Oh... Oh... Oh... Oh...

I want to fly!

I want to fly!

The mountains skipped like rams2,

happiness and joy.

The stone the builders rejected3,

they adorned the groom for the bride.4

Na na na na...

I want to fly!

I went

I went

I went

And I do not know of his arrival

I went

I went

I went

And I do not know of his arrival

Yeh yeh yeh yeh

I want to fly!
