    Lyrics

    انا بِدي أَكُون راهِب
    بِغابِة بالمَغْرِب
    ما معي فاس وَلا كَلْب
    ما معي مَرَّة انا بَحِب

    بَس انا و المَخْلُوقات
    و كُل النَّباتات و الحَشَرات
    بِدُون الماضي و المَصَايِب إِلِّي صارَت
    بَس الحاضِر لَلأَبَد

    رَح أَتْرُك كُل الآلآت
    و أَكَمِّل بِهاي الحَيَاة
    بِدُون أَيَّ علاقات
    مع أَيَّ وَحْدِة مِن البِنات

    نِفْسِي يكُون كُل شي بَسِيط
    بِدي يكُون ما عندي شي
    ما عَدا وُجُود رَبِّي
    ما عَدا حُبُّه إِلي

    اِنْتَ اِنْتَ اِنْتَ بْتِرْعَانِي
    و انا خَرْوفَك الغَبِي
    بَس اِنْت لِسَة بِتْحِبْنِي
    بَس اِنْت لِسَة بِتْدِلّْنِي

    اِنْتَ اِنْتَ اِنْت الصُّلْطان الحاكِم
    و انا بَس عَبْد خايِن
    بَس اِنْت لِسَة بِتْسامِحْنِي
    و بِتْضَلَّك أَكْبَر مِن كُل شِي

    I wanna be a cenobite
    In the woods of Morocco
    Without an ax or dog
    Without a woman whom I love

    Just me and creation
    And all the bugs and plants
    Without the past and its trials
    Just the present forever

    I’ll forsake all machines
    And press on in this life
    Without any relations
    With any daughter of Eve

    I wish everything was simple
    I need not a thing
    Except for the presence of my Lord
    Except for his love for me

    You shepherd me
    I, your dumb sheep
    And yet you love me
    And still you guide me

    You are the Sovereign Supreme
    And I’m just a subject betraying
    But still you pardon me
    And remain above everything
