Beirut, the Mistress of the World We confess before the One God That we were envious of you That your beauty hurt us We confess now That we've maltreated and misunderstood you And we had no mercy and didn't excuse you And we offered you a dagger in place of flowers! We confess before the fair God That we injured you, alas; we tired you That we vexed you and made you cry And we burdened you with our insurrections O Beirut The world without you won't suffice us We now realize your roots are deep inside us, We now realize what offence we've perpetrated Rise from under the rubble Like a flower of Almond in April Get over your sorrow Since revolution grows in the wounds of grief Rise in honor of the forests, Rise in honor of the rivers Rise in honor of humankind Rise, O Beirut!
