على نغمة حب وحنيه
On the rhythm of love and affection
غنى وصوتو اثر فيى
He sang and his voice affected me
اسمر والدبكه بتحلالو
He's tanned and the dabke suits him
وريحة لبنان بموالو
And the perfume of Lebanon in his verses
و غنياتو لبنانيه
And his songs are Lebanese
غنى يابو جبين العالى
Sing, oh one in high esteem
فرح قلبى وريح بالى
Bring joy to my heart and ease my mind
ذكرنى ببلدى الغالى
Remind of my precious country
ال بترابو بكحل عينيى
I'd darken my eyes with its earth
يا ليالى بيروت رجعنا رجعنا
The nights of Beirut, we have returned
نسهر والحب بيجمعنا
Celebrate and love unites us
نغنى والعالم يسمعنا
We sing and the world hears us
ودبكتنا ندبكها سويى
And our dabke we'll play it together
