| All. |
| |
A bridal march |
| |
|
The funeral dirge becomes! |
| |
Let Heaven's arch |
| |
|
Re-echo the band of drums! |
| |
|
|
O happy pairs united this afternoon |
| |
|
|
|
We greet you one and all
Both great and small |
| |
|
|
With a popular Persian tune! |
| |
Oh, raise your voice |
| |
|
In epithalamiums! |
| |
O King rejoice, |
| |
|
And Tale-Teller of the slums! |
| |
|
|
To high or low true love is an equal boon, |
| |
|
|
|
There's no one here too base
To find a place |
| |
|
|
In popular Persian tune! |
| |
|
|
|
O! raise your voice,
Let all rejoice, |
| |
|
|
|
|
Illalah! Illalah! |
| |
|
|
|
There's none too base
To find a place |
| |
|
|
|
|
Illalah! Illalah! |
| |
|
|
|
Raise your voice,
All rejoice,
Raise your voice, |
| |
|
|
Endeavour to sing a Persian tune! |
| |
|
|
|
A popular Persian tune,
A popular Persian tune,
A popular, popular Persian tune,
A popular Persian tune! |
| |
|
|
|
|
Illalah! Illalah! lalah! |
