Abou-Saadiyah dances in the square

All the children gather around him

To look at his medals and admire his gestures,

His eyes winking…his eyes blinking

Abou-Saadiyah dances in the square

All the children gather around him

He twists, turns and calls :

“Give me, give me a dinar

By the grace of the lord and his beloved prophet.”

Abou-Saadiyah plays the pipe

He twist, turns and calls :

“my children, give me some more

By the grace of the lord and his beloved prophet.”
