Lyrics Habbaitak Tanseet El Noum - Fairuz

بيروت
To Beirut,
من قلبي سلامٌ لبيروت
From my heart a greeting to Beirut;
و قُبلٌ للبحر و البيوت
And kisses to the sea and the houses,
لصخرةٍ كأنها وجه بحارٍ قديمِ
To a rock shaped liked the face of an old fish
هي من روحِ الشعب خمرٌ
She is
From the spirit of the people, a wine;
هي من عرقِهِ خبزٌ و ياسمين
From its sweat, bread and jasmine
فكيف صار طعمها طعم نارٍ و دخانِ
So how did its taste become
The taste of fire and smoke?
لبيروت
For Beirut,
مجدٌ من رمادٍ لبيروت
A glory of ashes, for Beirut;
من دمٍ لولدٍ حُملَ فوق يدها
Of blood, of a child held in its palm...
أطفأت مدينتي قنديلها
My city has extinguished its lantern
أغلقت بابها
Closed its door
أصبحت في السماء وحدها...
Became at night
وحدها و ليلُ
Alone, alone with the night...
أنتِ لي أنتِ لي
You are mine... You are mine!
أه عانقيني أنتِ لي
Oh, embrace me; you are mine.
رايتي و حجرُ الغدِ و موج سفري
My banner, and the stone of tomorrow,
And the waves of my travel.
أزهرت جراح شعبي
The wounds of my people have blossomed,
أزهرت دمعة الأمهات.
The mothers' tears have blossomed...
أنتِ بيروت لي
You, Beirut, are mine,
أنتِ لي
You are mine!
آه عانقيني
Oh, embrace me...
