Not even twenty-four hours later, she got a link to it from Moncton (thanks Mary!) and from Beirut (merci Roula!). She is sharing it with you in this post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The song is in Lebanese Arabic. The words are filled with simplicity and tenderness. The music (by Mr. Rayan Habre) is lovely to listen to. In addition to her talent, this young singer seems to be cute (check her expressions and see for yourself ?). As you can see, the musicians are skilled and the production is well done too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, just for her own fun, Bambi translated the words for you into English (please see further below). Bravo and thank you Ms. Chantal Bitar et al.!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Chantal Bitar - Bel Hajr El Sohi (By Rayan Habre) \/ \u0634\u0627\u0646\u062a\u0627\u0644 \u0628\u064a\u0637\u0627\u0631 - \u0628\u0627\u0644\u062d\u062c\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0635\u062d\u064a\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uq5JZPAMDgs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cHow are you in your confinement?
