1. Lebanon, if nothing remains in you but bitterness
I will still be a loyal follower in your valleys

2. Even if the one who gave me to drink deserts you, and my guide
I stay alone, both the guide and the pourer

3. It's not enough that you fill my heart, for I
Love you with all my heart and my gaze

4. Neither poverty in you, nor riches in exile
Neither death in you, nor life in parting

5. O cradle of my forefathers and ancestors
Who made your mountains ladders to the sky

6. They left us nothing after them, so that we remain
As fuel, while we wander in the horizons

7. Who will tell the distant ones that our brows
Are dusty, and the rope is around our necks

8. And from the bodies on the ground, bridges
And from the blood, rivers and channels
