Fairuz
Video from yesterday’s explosion in Beirut.
Lyrics translated from Arabic.
To Beirut
From my heart a greeting to Beirut
And kisses to the sea and
the houses
To a rock shaped like the face of an
old fisherman...
From my heart a greeting to Beirut
And kisses to the sea and
the houses
To a rock shaped like the face of an
old fisherman...
She is
from the spirit of the people, a wine
from its sweat, bread and jasmine
so how did its taste become
the taste of fire and smoke?
from the spirit of the people, a wine
from its sweat, bread and jasmine
so how did its taste become
the taste of fire and smoke?
For Beirut
a glory of ashes, for Beirut
of blood, of a child held in its palm.
My city has extinguished its lantern,
closed its door, became at night
alone, alone with the night
a glory of ashes, for Beirut
of blood, of a child held in its palm.
My city has extinguished its lantern,
closed its door, became at night
alone, alone with the night
You are mine... You are mine
Oh, embrace me, you are mine
My banner, and the stone of
tomorrow
And the waves of my travel
The wounds of my people have
blossomed
The mother’s tears have
blossomed
You, Beirut, are mine
You are mine!
Oh... embrace me...
Oh, embrace me, you are mine
My banner, and the stone of
tomorrow
And the waves of my travel
The wounds of my people have
blossomed
The mother’s tears have
blossomed
You, Beirut, are mine
You are mine!
Oh... embrace me...
Goodnight 🌙 ✨
