Sawt maksour, sawt maksour Shaghghilni bardo, shaghghilni bardo Sawt maksour, sawt maksour Il-maksour huwa illi baa'i minha (mak-mak-maksour) (mak-mak-maksour) Tasjilat farah ummi min tamaneen w tisaeen My mother's wedding tapes from nineteen eighty-nine Qata'tuha hatta ma baqi minha ella al-nafas I cut them until nothing was left but the breathing They want the songs preserved Preserved is a jar I am not making jars Sawt maksour, sawt maksour Shaghghilni bardo, shaghghilni bardo Sawt maksour, sawt maksour Il-maksour huwa illi baa'i minha (mak-mak-maksour) (mak-mak-maksour) Ummi sami'atha. Qalat: hadha sawti? Qultu: la, hadha nafasik. She heard it. She said "is that my voice?" I said no, that is your breathing. Sawt maksour, sawt maksour Il-maksour huwa illi baa'i minha Sawt maksour, sawt maksour Shaghghilni bardo, shaghghilni bardo (mak—)
