When I speak to you
Don't say, "This is a Christian"
When I speak to you
Don't say, "This is a Muslim"
I don't speak to you
Nor do words come from my tongue
Unless I speak to you
Lebanese, son of a Lebanese...

Let's go back a bit
And talk about what used to happen
In the days of Gamal Abdel Nasser
The great leader of the people
Was victorious and a rebel
Thinked he was powerful
To marry and divorce countries
Like men and women
He wanted to try his luck in Lebanon
And kick the ball around
And after a while
He admitted that Lebanon
Is full of parties and religions
Like a corn cob!
And he said his famous words:
"It's impossible for Lebanon
To remain a bridge
And a beacon for all
if the leaven goes bad!"

The Christians in Lebanon
Love all Arabs
Despite all their problems
Even Solomon the Prophet
Who they call clever
If he returned in this time
He would be unable to unite them

Money is wasted
In the land of the cedars
And on top of the wound,
We add more wounds
And the mothers' eyes weep
Every time a small child is kidnapped
We hear... and read early:
“In a country called Lebanon
A lot of crime is happening
One side killed so-and-so's son
And apparently, a big leader
Then they went to another side too
And tied up
They picked up a small child
And on the heel of the sweetest cedar
They slaughtered him like a goat!

O crucified Jesus,
O Messenger of the believers,
You didn't know how to raise nations,
You only knew how to raise maniacs.
And every time the light shines upon me,
I will raise my head high in the sky,
Asking you in the name of religion,
And by the Gospel and the Quran,
If you're upset, make up your minds.
If you're in agreement,
It's a shame not to help Lebanon.
