Wait a moment, oh taxi driver,
In your chariot, let me embark,
Oh, wait a moment, taxi driver,
In your chariot, let me embark.
My chariot is not empty,
My chariot is not empty,
Leave me be, you sister of Laila,
Hear me, you kin of Majnun.
Wait a moment, oh taxi driver,
In your chariot, let me embark.
Do not crave what is free,
Do not crave what is free, I will not go,
Do not crave what is free, I will not go,
I will pay you what you desire,
Go on, hurry now, drop the meter,
In your chariot, let me embark,
Wait a moment, oh taxi driver,
In your chariot, let me embark.
Forgive me, release my garment,
Forgive me, release my garment,
If it is your wish, break my heart,
Break my heart, for I have given my life,
I have given my life, to your care,
In your chariot, let me embark,
Wait a moment, oh taxi driver,
In your chariot, let me embark.
You have placed me in a free plight,
You have placed me in a free plight,
As if you have removed me from the car,
Removed me, agree, if you agree,
If you agree, then remove from the heart,
In your chariot, let me embark,
Wait a moment, oh taxi driver,
In your chariot, let me embark,
Hear me, you sister of Laila,
Hear me, you kin of Majnun,
Oh, hear me, you kin of Majnun,
Yes, hear me, you kin of Majnun.
