Bambi would like to thank her friend Nayla for sharing this song.
Amazing as she listened to that same brand new song perhaps a night or two ago whilst listening to her Radio-Mount Lebanon (from LA) before going to sleep. She found the song moving and even told her spouse about it, repeating the lyrics… or translating them.
Well, here is the song, followed by its moving lyrics, first in Arabic followed by English.
Thanks again Nayla and love to Beirut… from Sackville, NB, Canada!
Lyrics | كلمات
بيروت … إنتِ الغنية المابتموت
صوت الشوارع والبيوت
أجمل صبيّه يا بيروت / يا بيروت
بعمّرها … برجع أنا وأنت نعمرهابعمّرها …
ومن إيدُن نحنا منحررها
بيروت إمي
بيروت بَيِّي بيروت إختي بيروت خيّي
بيروت ملكي …… ردلّي هيي
إنتِ الفرح وإنتِ الحُب
وهني الوجع وجع هالقلب
رح تتخطي الوضع الصعب … يا بيروت
إنتِ الأمل إنتِ الورد
هني الزعل وهني الحقد
رح شيلك من إيدُن وعد … يا بيروت
بيروت إمي
بيروت بَيِّي
بيروت إختي
بيروت خيي
بيروت ملكي ……
ردّلي هيي..
“Beirut, you are the rich who does not die
You are the sound of streets and homes
You are the song that does not die
The most beautiful lady, O Beirut– O Beirut
I will re-build it, we will re-build it together, I will re-build it
From their hands, we will liberate it
Beirut is my mom
Beirut is my dad
Beirut is my sister, Beirut is my brother
Beirut is mine, give it back to me
You are the joy and you are love
They are the pain, the pain of my heart
We will overcome the difficult situation … O Beirut
You are the hope, you are the rose
They are the sadness and they are hatred
We will take you off their hands it is a promise… O Beirut
Beirut is my mom
Beirut is my dad
Beirut is my sister
Beirut is my brother
Beirut is mine…
Give it back to me…”
