Beirut
A flower off her terrain
Beirut
Oh her beauty, oh her beautiful past
Beirut
Oh her dire fate, oh what a shame

The Arak-drinking
The card-playing
The horse-racing
The pigeon-hunting
The essence of Beirut

The sultry attire
The cruising around
The fooling about
Is what's on the minds of those in Beirut

Beirut
A flower off her terrain
Beirut
Oh her beauty, oh her beautiful past
Beirut
Oh hеr dire fate, oh what a shame

Thеre's no employment
There is no hope
The camel's blessing
The casted curse
The lavish stride
The fancy life
The showing off
The excessive pride
Is draining Beirut

Beirut
A flower off her terrain
Beirut
Oh her beauty, oh her beautiful past
Beirut
Oh her dire fate, oh what a shame
