English translation of the lyrics of ‘Minstrel’:

I recollect my nostalgias while preparing my black mourning cloth

It reminds me your loneliness away from home

My heart is so sorrowful, I sacrifice for the water-skin which was torn like leper lilies

No problem, let them say that I was a singer and turned into a minstrel for you

Mourning for young child, mourning for loss, I cry like the sky in every alley

Once again, I mark your flag to find home every night

This sorrow is so huge that I cry for you involuntarily

Young and old are crying, small and big are crying, like a tribe that has lost a young hero

(Hussein’s water-carrier, chief commander didn’t return, standard-bearer didn’t return)

What did they do to your blood-drenched body? God damn anyone who bothered you

Your sorrow is like a rancor which will stay with me until the day of resurrection
