Medina, Medina

Medinatun Nabi (the city of the Prophet)

In my dreams I make my way to Medina

The home and chosen place

Of our beloved Prophet

Where all I feel is peace

And so much joy around

No better place for me, yeah!

[Chorus:]

Medina, Medina

Medinatun Nabi (the city of the Prophet)

Medina, Medina

That’s where I want to be

Medina, Medina

Medinatun Nabi

Medina, Medina

That’s where I want to be

Oh, oh, Medina Medina

Oh, oh, Medina Medina

I wake with the morning light in Medina

Everywhere I see blue skies

Set above these mountains

Bright colours fill the streets

A smile on every face

A special place for me, yeah!

[Chorus]

Tala’al badru ‘alayna, min thaniyyatil wadaa’

Wajabash shukru ‘alayna, ma da’a lillahi daa’

Ayyuhal mab’uthu fina, ji’ta bil amril mutaa’

Ji’ta sharraftal Medina, marhaban ya khayra daa’

(The full Moon rose over us

From the valley of Wadaa’

And we owe it to show gratefulness

Whenever a caller prays to Allah

O you who were raised amongst us

Coming with the word to be obeyed

You have brought to Medina nobleness

Welcome, best caller to God's way)

[Chorus]

Medina, Medina

Medinatun Nabi
