1. I thought of you, while my heart was seized by passion
Captive to the sweet fulfilling visions

2. And “Lebanon” swims in rapture
Of magic, love, and wellbeing

3. Adorned with the most fragrant scent
And stirred with abundant joy

4. And slept on the clouds' balconies
As the present greenery floated around it

5. Villages scattered atop the hills
Like my hopes scattered

6. A chanter on every slope
And in every meadow, a celebrant

7. And the valleys listen to a tale
Of love recited by the water-bearer

8. While the universe listened to nothing but the echo
Repeating the shepherd’s melody

9. The plateau gazed longingly
Awaiting the return of the lost

10. The magic of singing slept on the path
Lulled by the pure tune

11. And the evening continued hovering over it
Guarding it with the loving eyelash

12. And in the seclusion of the field, a beloved spring
That laments its crying pains

13. As if on the spring, a lyre
Mourning, complaining, and weepy

14. And (Beirut) sleeps on the slopes
Fulfilling its blooming dreams

15. Sprawling on the sea, infatuated
Whispering to it, swaying

16. I saw you, my coveted (Lebanese)
And its enjoyable, healing heaven

17. And I saw your face floating over it
Flooding its remote corners

18. So the expensive theaters disappeared
And no one remained but you, my (precious)
