Thread Name: Lyr Add: Palestinian Folk Songs
Subject: God's Place, Ah, God's Home!
Unfortunately there wasn't room for the Arabic transliteration of the title in the subject line for the this song.
English
God's place, ah God's home!
Butter and honey in the jug,
We're eating, we and Raffoola
And we leave Granny outside.
God's place, ah God's home!
Butter and honey in the jug,
We're eating, we and Lapoossa
And we leave Elbissi* outside.
God's place, ah God's home!
Butter and honey in the jug,
We're eating, we and Lucas
And we leave Mommy outside.
God's place, ah God's home!
Butter and honey in the jug,
We're eating, we and Lapoossa
And we leave Daddy outside.
(Note on the page relating to the asterisk: *We believe this means "grandpa".)
