The lyrics of this song reflect sorrowful memories of the civil war the city " Beirut " witnessed from 1975-1989...

Fayrouz is more than a singer in the arab world, she is imprinted in our childhood memories, she represents joy, comfort, nostalgia and a tender embrace ❤ she is basically our fairy godmother. Thank you for this reaction

This song always makes me emotional. I can’t listen to it without crying. You can feel the deep sadness of the war, such loss that was captured through this song.

There is a deep meaning in this song! It is not just song, you should also research why she created it. It is very emotional because Beirut was teared apart several times and rises up again every time. My father lived his childhood in war, entirely..

I'm listening to this 9 months after the fact so my comment may be lost...but Fairuz is a legend on so many levels and for so many Arabs. But first I need to address the connection btwn Spain and Arabs. The Arabs were in Spain for 800 years and "Arab" influence is woven into Spanish culture and music. Secondly, this song is an anthem for Lebanese (and countless others) especially bcs it came out during our bloody and senseless "civil" (uncivil) war that took the lives of so many and crippled Lebanon to the point that it has never fully recovered. Thirdly, she also sang for Palestine and our loss (I am half Lebanese, half Palestinian). Her velvet voice has been a balm and therapy for many of us. I would venture to say almost all of us. What makes her that much more special is she is also Christian and she has served as a unifying force in a world that too often breaks down over human drawn lines that divide...The day she dies, we will have lost a beacon of light in an often dark and hopeless place.

You can picture a typical morning in Lebanon: people commuting to work or school, stuck in traffic or at a stoplight, with Fayrouz songs playing in the background, perhaps even on a bus

Lebenon was just out of civil war thats why she made this song and many more , she didn't leave Lebanon during the war always asking for peace , she is amazing , she nevar sang to any president or king , she is patriot woman . sending love to the lady of Lebanon and our hearts from Cairo , Egypt.

Fayrouz the voice of an angel, thanks for the reaction

I first heard Fairuz in Tripoli, Libya during the late 70's. She was revered by many people. I love her singing.

I’m crying. All nations who would go to war should be made first to listen to the most beloved voices of the people they fear.

لم تنجب ولن تنجب امريكا ،بربع الست فيروز أرزة لبنان الحبيب.:من الجزائر.

Fayrouz is a “Therapeutic music” for all the Arab world ❤ thank U for the reaction

The orchestrator is her son, Ziad Rahbani, who is one of the most famous Arab musicians. He is well known for his music in Europe as well.

She was a little bit old when she sang this one, you gotta listen to her songs from the 1950s to 1970s .. she was really amazing.. I think the orchestrator was her son Ziad Rahbani, he is also a living legend and his career is still spanning from the 1970s

Dear Ken, thank you for this introduction to Arabic music. I also recommend listening to Oum Kalthoum (Enta Omri or Al Atlal are good songs to start with) or the singer Asmahan (Ya Habibi Taala or Ya Toyour are good songs as well). Both have exceptional voices.

Fairuz is the sound of the broken hearts

I've heard this song many times now (my gf is Beiruti). I still find tears streaming down my face every time - what a piece and such a beautifully emotive interpretation from Fairouz.

Beautiful, thanks for the introduction to this singer.

One of the most legendary singers ever! She is an icon of my country 🇱🇧 Thank you for the reaction, I highly recommend checking more of her!

Fayrouz is the voice of Lebanon, to the world

It's like an an angel singing love it♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

This song and her son el kods make me cry

One of the most beautiful sensational voices of all time

On the lyrics, it is an ode to Beirut, title means for/to Beirut. It was written and recorded during the height of the Lebanese Civil War (1975_1990).

I love her take on songs, and Im a Nordic songwriter. She was vocally an unexpected strong inspiration for me as a young singer in my twenties... - I tried to sing her songs - the emotional way of singing and still modern... thank you for listening.

Beautiful voice - it has something special like from 1001 Nights ✨

Une voic angelique qui nous transporte ailleurs...❤❤❤

Fayrouz, our ambassador to the stars

She’s not just a Lebanese legend, she’s a legends to all of us Arabs.

Her son is jazz pianist and conducted many jazzy recordings of her

You asked who orchestrated her music. It would be her husband, her brother in law, her son and nephew. They are monuments and geniuses in our country, the Rehbani's. This is what every lebanese houshold played each morning.

For Beirut, wishing peace from the bottom of my heart for Beirut. Kisses for her shore and houses And for the rock that looked like the face of an old sailor.

As an arab i can really say that Fairuz is reaaaaaaaly iconic in the arab world and she symbolize in a way LEBANON, beirut and its people

LYRICS IN ARABIC translated to English لبيروت، من قلبي سلامٌ لبيروت وقُبل للبحر والبيوت لصخرةٍ كأنها، وجه بحارٍ قديمِ هي من، روحِ الشعب خمرٌ هي من، عرقِهِ خبزٌ وياسمين فكيف صار طعمها طعم نارٍ ودخانِ لبيروت، مجدٌ من رمادٍ لبيروت من دمٍ لولدٍ حُملَ فوق يدها أطفأت مدينتي قنديلها، أغلقت بابها أصبحت في المساء وحدها، وحدها وليلُ لبيروت، من قلبي سلامٌ لبيروت وقُبل للبحر والبيوت لصخرةٍ كأنها، وجه بحارٍ قديمِ أنتِ لي، أنتِ لي آه عانقيني أنتِ لي رايتي وحجرُ الغدِ وموج سفري أزهرت جراح شعبي أزهرت دمعة الأمهات أنتِ بيروت لي، أنتِ لي آه عانقيني To Beirut, from my heart, peace to Beirut He went towards the sea and the houses A rock like the face of an old sailor It is from, the spirit of the people is wine She is from, whose sweat is bread and jasmine How did it taste? The taste of fire and smoke For Beirut, glory from ashes for Beirut From the blood of a boy carried on her hand My city extinguished its lamp and closed its door In the evening, she was alone, alone and at night To Beirut, from my heart, peace to Beirut He went towards the sea and the houses A rock like the face of an old sailor You are mine, you are mine Oh hug me, you are mine My banner, the stone of tomorrow, and the wave of my journey The wounds of my people have blossomed Mothers tear You are my Beirut, you are mine Oh hug me.

❤❤❤❤❤ ilike fayrouz ilove songs

The music arrangement and orchestration is by Ziad Rahbani - Fairouz's son ... he is one of the greatest musical composers.

❤❤❤

She is the best singer in the Middle east ...we have to listen to her voice Evry day when we have our coffee

It's good that your viewer recommended Fairuz to you, but I would have chosen another song, an older song at that, which better showcases Fairuze's singing ability and the unique feel of the music in her songs which were written by her husband and his brother the rahbani brothers, I would recommend you listen to: Give me the flute and sing. Aatini el nay wa ghanni. This song's lyrics are from one of Gibran Khalil's poems, Gibran Khalil Gibran is the most famous Lebanese poet in the modern era.

Fairouz added the quarter tone that only in oriental music exist to this famous song. Nice reaction

The orchestrator called Ziad Rahbani and he is her son. Please If you can check some of his works that would be wonderful i would love to hear your opinion about his music as we arabs most of grew up listening to his music

Awesome,,, check out her Easter good Friday pieces and other stuff... I think The composer by the way specifically on this one is her son..

جميل 💖

It is hard to listen to music without understanding the words. I appreciate you for this. If you like Fayrouz then you should like Faya Younan and her sister Rihan they made a video also about the war like this one…

Queen Fairuz, queen of Arabic singing

The orchestrator is her husband and his brother. Geniuses

She is one of the greatest vocals as well as ismahan, Sabah, Warda, naïma samih... and the lady Oum kelthoum

More of fairuz songs

I suggest for you to listen to Umm Kulthum she was the legend of Egypt

concerto di aranjuz by joaquin rodrigo, she sampled again the mozart 40 th symphony, in another song..

Sorry for commenting too much xd We know that no one can imitate HER. She s a great singer and a better person, she never try to appear on shows She refused 5 million dollars to sing in Saudi Arabia 1 single song and asked authorities to donate this amount for poor people

Do um kalthum next 👍🏼 thank you

try abd al halim and em kotom

My brother, the best artist in the Middle East is Kazem Saher, and this is my opinion

Have you tried listening to Umm Kulthum? How about Asmahan? The Middle East had many amazing talents in the twentieth century.

Plz more reviews of Fairou7 songs 🙏
