Abeer Nehme - Li Beirut

For Beirut, the city which has come out from her pains and ruins, more beautiful each time.

This piece was originally sang by Fairuz.

This is part of the Aramaic and Sufi project developed by Abeer Nehme and Mehdi Aminian

The Lyrics:

"A greeting from my heart to Beirut
kisses to the sea and to the houses
to a rock, which is like an old sailor’s face
She is made from the people’s soul..from wine
She is from his sweat…a bread and Jasmins
So how does her taste become? A taste of fire and smoke

Beirut has a glory of ashes
My city has turned out her lamp
By a child’s blood, who was over her hand
She’as 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 travel’s waves
My people’s wounds have flourished
And mothers tear
You are mine, you are mine
Ah Hug me"

What a performance ! Fairuz and Lebanon live in you. God bless you, your voice is priceless.

[faizanoor]

Though I couldn't understand the words but realized that music has no language and it can speak to the heart.
May Beirut rise up from its ashes as she always has.
