The Alexandrian clear sky,
when it comes to love, is durable like a diamond
and as it's reflected warm in the sea
you say "ya salam"(=how lovely) here's a meritorious salary
Oh "ya salam" how was I supposed to imagine this
this autumn is so sweet
this sky of the fall
is the authentic Alexandrian one
One of my harbors is western
the other one, the old one, is eastern
I have an airport to the north
and an ancient lighthouse to the south
Yes the sky, the clear and authentic one
is so durable in Alexandria
that when wave crashes over Qaitbay1
Love says "Padan padan oh ya salam"
"Ya salam" means I have forgiven so many things
that I forgave even my demon
for all his passions, the wild ones
"ya salam" means Alexandria
