Fa kayfa sara tamouha
Tama naren wa doukhani

Majdon men ramaden Li Beirut,
Men damen li waladen Oumila fawqa yadiha

Azharat jiraou shabi azharat
Damatou el oummahat
Anti Beirut li, Anti li, Ah aneeqeeni....
To Beirut
A greeting from my heart to Beirut
kisses to the sea and to the houses
to a rock, which is like an old sailors face
She is made from the peoples soul..from wine
She is from his sweata bread and Jasmins
So how does her taste become? A taste of fire and smoke
Glory from the ashes to Beirut
My city has turned out her lamp
From the blood of a child carried upon her hand
She 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 travels waves
The wounds of my people have blossomed
And mothers tear
You are mine, you are mine
Ah Hug me
