Li Beirut

To Beirut

To Beirut,
From my heart peace to Beirut
And greetings to the sea and the houses
To the rocks
As if
Its face is an ancient desert ...
It is
A face that resembles wine
It is
Its scent is bread and jasmine
So how did it become
A taste of fire and smoke
To Beirut,
A sanctuary from the months of Ramadan
To Beirut,
From its blood and its children
It raised above its hand
The lights of its city
It closed its door..
It became in the evening and its night
Its night and night

To Beirut,
From my heart peace to Beirut
And greetings to the sea and the houses
To the rocks
As if
Its face is an ancient desert
You are for me, you are for me,
Ah, adorn me, you are for me
My flag and the reward of tomorrow and the wave of journeys
The wounds of a neighbor appeared, the wounds appeared
The tears of the mothers flowed
You are Beirut for me, You are for me, Ah, adorn me...
