Oh, my country, what has become
Impossible to happen
Fire is reaping you
And hardship is enveloping you
In exile, night and day
We are drawing pictures
Of your mighty cedars
And of your humiliated people
Oh, my country Lebanon

Our eyes are weaving you
With the spindles of joy
Our hands are writing you
On the pages of hope
No matter how much the raven of separation
Has flown and grew rich
Your land will remain for two:
God and human
