Beyrouth [English translation]

Beyrouth, your horizon calls me,

calls me and smiles at me;

Beyrouth, your charm bewitches me,

your beauty seduces me

It's Eden of all the times

which enchants and waits for me,

it's the old fairyland of Lebanon.

Beyrouth, your song full of softness

is stretched to the infinite.

Beyrouth, and rises up

as green symphonies in my heart

It's the song of old times

that lovers repeat,

it's the slow melody of Lebanon.

Beyrouth, sun laughing in the sky,

with a mysterious reflection

Beyrouth, savour of milk, of honey

which comes down to us from the heavens.

It's Venus of all times,

the lovers celebrate

in the flowered mountain of Lebanon.

Beyrouth, I sing to your stars

when, completely silent,

Beyrouth, the blue that nothing veils

sleeps in your eyes.

I dream a brilliant dream

which soothes me softly

by the Thousand and One nights of Lebanon...
