Yasmine Hamdan - Beirut | Beirut Jam Sessions

[@haclil]

The bitter honesty of the lyrics, the unique dark ambience, this elegy for Beirut leaves me with a gnawing heartache for the city-will she rise again? Is there not a glimmer of hope?

Song Lyrics by Omar El Zenni: بيروت شرب العرق شرب العرق لعب الورق خيل السبق صيد الحمام رسمال بيروت لبس الغوى شم الهوى اكل الهوى شاغل عقول سكان بيروت بيروت زهرة من غير أوانها بيروت محلاها ومحلا زمانها بيروت يا حينها وياضيعانها تدبل ما في عمل ما في امل برك الجمل ركب النحس تجار بيروت الغندرة والفنغرة والبهورة كتر البطر هالك بيروت Englilsh Translation: Beirut Arak drinkin', Card playin' Race Horse cheerin' Pigeon huntin' The essence of Beirut Seduction crowd Cruisin' around Foolin' about Tis' all there is on the minds Of the citizens of Beirut Beirut A flower off its terrain Beirut Oh her beauty, her good old days Beirut That dire end, all a waste Withering All unemployed Hopeless, ruined and Rusted Jinxed and accursed Those dealers of Beirut Oh the strutting That fancy livin' Excess of splurging Exploded vanity Smothering Beirut
