مغاوير (Maghawir)
أوّلاً سنة حلوة يا جميل
ثانياً الليل حيكون طويل
قول لأمّك ما تخاف الملهى على بُعد رصاص
ثالثاً إلبس الأسود وأنزل
عالماً بس تثلج فوق التلال
بيصيروا الصبيان رجال، مغاوير بعاصمة اللّيل

علّمونا على الملعب نلعب عصابات
شوب شوب قوّصوك
كنّا سوا عم نتسلى وينك اختَفيت
شوب شوب قوّصوك

رابعاً ما تحكي مع نسوان
علشان ما نسهر على الجثمان
هون السّت بس مقياس لكرامته قدّام الناس
غالباً في طبَنْجة بجيابه
علشان الصبّي إبن بيُّه
وهون ما حدا بيِنْطال أدونيس ضحية الأدغال

علّمونا على الملعب نلعب عصابات
شوب شوب قوّصوك
كنّا سوا عم نتسلى وينك اختفيت
شوب شوب قوّصوك

MAGHAWIR

Number one, happy birthday beautiful.
Number two, you’re in for a long night;
Tell your mother to chill:
The club’s a bullet’s throw away.
Number three, wear your black suit and come down,
Bearing that when snow caps the hills
All the boys become men:
Soldiers in the capital of the night.

And on the playground, 
They always taught us
To gang-play-pretend.
Shoop shoop shot you down.
Shoop shoop shot you down.
We were just all together,
Painting the town.
Where’d you disappear?
Shoop shoop shot you down.
Shoop shoop shot you down.

Number four, quit chatting up the misses, 
Before the night turns into a wake.
Here women are but emblems of men’s influence.
Yes, that is a gun in his pocket,
Because the boy’s his fathers son.
Where the arm of the law can’t reach, adonis falls victim.

And on the playground, 
They always taught us
To gang-play-pretend.
Shoop shoop shot you down.
Shoop shoop shot you down.
We were just all together,
Painting the town.
Where’d you disappear?
Shoop shoop shot you down.
Shoop shoop shot you down.
