The Story of LEBANON

Marra 3ayatlé bayé 2alé arrib ya walad
Badé fahmak chwayé 3an machékél l balad
Khabbarni enno jiddé marra 3ayatlo kamen
Allo 2arrib la 7addé baddé khabbrak 3an Lebnen.

Men zamen ktir ktir allah khala2 hal akwen
W khala2 hal balad lzghir w na2elo ism Lebnen
Ken jawo metl el se7r w kenet rjal rjelo
Chou ken ndif el ba7r yghassel 2ijrein jbelo

Kenet l 3ichi 7elwi wel riz2a ya mashallah
W kroum l 3inab balwi tefe7a heik smallah
Yirmi el chabki hal siyyed totla3 melyeni el chabké
Ma tokhlass meno l 2a3yed l ta2ch l fa2ch wel dabké

W kitr ma tghared l tyour tsafi swata mab7ou7a
Wel ness tnam bhal leil terka bweba maftou7a

Ken tayeb l ensan~mechi w 3eyech 3al baraké

Twafa jidi hal maskin  ~w ma kaffelo l khabriyi
W mar2it 3al khabriyi snin~w kaffeleh yeha bayi

2allé faj2a mitl l bar2~sar balad l 2izdihar
Ismo sar swisra el char2~laylo modwi metl nhar
Hall jayi w hallé raye7~la y2adi sahrat lkayf
Yiji la 3enna seye7~yib2a la ekher el sayf

L3ara2 wel kebbeh l nayi~taboulé wel atayef
3ichi 7ilwi w haniyi~la 2adyen w tawayef
Mnetchewaf ne7na men hawn~w haydi la 2ilna lbyout
Ma dal motrib bi hal kawn~ila ma ghana l bayrout

Bayrout ya l3aych lhani~Bayrout ya sit l dini
Bayrout 2imna l7anouni~chari3 Serso2 wel zaytouni
Bayrout mahd el 7adara~3al Rawchi w3al Manara

Kitr ma ghano lBayrout tara2ouha saybit 3ein
W ma 3idna na3ref ba2a l2azayef 3am tejeh mnein

W lama ya3touwon ichara~ybalcho 3a ba3don 2weis

Safa fi 3endo baytein~byemlekon kel lebnené

W 3alam safit bala byout~la tani wla 2awlené

W nass 2ayado ltowtin~w nass ncha2o w 2alo la2
Ma na3ref l7a2 3a min~w leich lbalad heik ncha2

Jouwa jyebon melhiyin~w ne7na 3am nekol el da2

Dakhal baynetna lgharib~w dehametna Isra2il
Héda khay w hé 7abib~w héda sohr w hé 3adil

Bmiyet dollar lbenzine~to7sal meno chi 2alil
La to7sal 3ala lkhebzet~se3a bel saf el tawil
Rjal w neswan bhal saf~bel chawbet w bel bard
Wa7ad yekhre2lak el saf~3a khasro 7emel fard

3a iyam jidak yabni bwebna tdala machrou3a
3a iyami ba3da heik bass hal mara makhlou3a

Ma binsa hal khabriyi w ma bensa bhak lyom
Tofi bayi lsigara w 2ali ana fayit 3al nawm

Ba3d midi tawili ndaht l2ibni 3achiyi
La khabro 3al alili lkhabarni yehon bayi

Iltilo we2ef lmadfa3 w ma 3refna kif w la ley
Laman wa2afo lmadfa3, a3adouna deghreh 3ley
Tghalghal l tafar fina w refa2etna lmasayeb

W khabriyit lmaderiss hay khabriyit bri2 el zeit
Ibnak la ysafi deress badak abl tbi3 lbeit

Cha3b 3emel kriza wel 7elm safa viza

Betmana bokra ya ibni tkafi l2ossa la ibnak kamen
Ma tkafiya bi Canada kafiya hawn bLebnen. GEORGES KHABBAZ

I don´t speak your language but love your country, I am part Slavic and part Lebanese, unfortunately I never met my grandma (she was lebanese) and because of sad things that happen in life my mum was separated from her when she was a baby so never had the chance to learn about the language and culture , but I am trying to reconnect with my ancestry, could you put English subtitles please ? : ) so that i can understand? thanks

[nadim2105]

@slatskatya Hello Slatskatya, I'm glad you're interested in understanding this vide... Unfortunatly I can't add subtitles to it but If you want I can translate u this poem? to do so, try sending me a private message to my account giving me ur mail ?
