English translation

Arabic

Original lyrics

لبيروت

من قلبي سلامٌ لبيروت

و قُبلٌ للبحر و البيوت

لصخرةٍ كأنها وجه بحارٍ قديمِ

هي من روحِ الشعب خمرٌ

هي من عرقِهِ خبزٌ و ياسمين

فكيف صار طعمها طعم نارٍ و دخانِ

لبيروت

مجدٌ من رمادٍ لبيروت

من دمٍ لولدٍ حُملَ فوق يدها

أطفأت مدينتي قنديلها

أغلقت بابها

أصبحت في السماء وحدها...

وحدها و ليلُ

أنتِ لي أنتِ لي

أه عانقيني أنتِ لي

رايتي و حجرُ الغدِ و موج سفري

أزهرت جراح شعبي

أزهرت دمعة الأمهات..

أنتِ بيروت لي

أنتِ لي

آه عانقيني

Li Beirut

A greeting from my heart to Beirut

kisses to the sea and to the houses

to a rock, which is like an old sailor’s face

She is made from the people’s soul..from wine

She is from his sweat…a bread and Jasmins

So how does her taste become? A taste of fire and smoke

Beirut has a glory of ashes

My city has turned out her lamp

By a child’s blood, who was over her hand

She’as shut her door, and became alone in the sky

Alone with the night

You are mine, you are mine

Ah Hug me you are mine

You are my flag, tomorrow stone

And a travel’s waves

My people’s wounds have flourished

And mothers tear

You are mine, you are mine

Ah Hug me
