" Doos * ya lellee. Doos ya lellee (three times.)
'Eshke f mahboobee fetennee."
Tread[! X O my joy ! § Tread! O my joy ! (three times).
Ardent desire of my beloved hath involved me in trouble.
(The preceding lines are repeated after each of
the following stanzas, sometimes as a chorus.)
* Here, in accordance with a rule observed in most modern Arab
songs, the masculine gender is applied to the beloved object, who is,
nevertheless, a female, as will be seen in several subsequent verses. In
translation, I therefore substitute the feminine gender in every case
where our language distinguishes gender. Some words occur, bearing
double meanings, which I leave unexplained. I write the Arabic words
as they are generally pronounced in Cairo, excepting in the case of one
letter, which I represent by " k," to express the sound which persons
of education give to it instead of the more usual hiatus.
t The Arabs find it impossible to utter three consonants together
without a pause between the second and third: hence the introduction
of the short vowel which terminates this word: it is a single letter that
is represented by sh.
X Or pace, or strut.
§ " Ya lellee," which is thus translated, is a common ejaculation indicative of joy, synonymous with " ya, farhatee." It is difficult to render
this and other cant terms.
