ليلى تعيش بعيدًا، بعيدًا جدًّا.
لكنّ جذورها في لبنان.
Layla lives far, far away.
But her roots are in Lebanon.
منقوشة زعتر ساخنة.
«صحّتين!» تقول تيتا.
Warm man'oushe with za'atar.
“Sahtein!” says Teta.
نمسك الأيدي ونرقص الدبكة.
دقّ، دقّ، نطّة!
Everyone holds hands and dances dabke.
Stamp, stamp, jump!
جدّو يرفعها عاليًا
لنقطف أحلى تين.
Jiddo lifts Layla up high
to pick the sweetest figs.
«عمر هذه الأرزة ألف سنة»، تقول تيتا.
«جذورها عميقة… مثل جذورك.»
“This cedar is a thousand years old,” says Teta.
“Its roots go deep… just like yours.”
في البيت، تزرع ليلى البذرة.
أينما ذهبت… جذوري معي.
ليلى
Back home, Layla plants the seed.
Wherever I go, my roots come too.
