1. Sparks flew from my heart and from my eyelids
Because I saw that the body is like a prison for the soul

2. My soul yearns for Lebanon and craves
For its people, a life of fertility, justice and safety

3. There I have loved ones
To whom love has brought longing and sorrow

4. When the zephyr blows toward one of them
I see a piece of my heart falling away from me
