I yearn for you like a lost lover
What have you done to me?
What did you say that makes me pray and
Hope for you everyday
Beirut Beirut
You give me dreams
You give me nightmares
You run in my veins and
Dance in my memories
Beirut Beirut
Boom boom goes my heart like a ticket in a bomb when I think of you
And Beirut I’m asking you
Love me, don’t kill me
Be stong, don’t deny me
Hold me, don’t break me
Forgive, don’t be angry
Give me the hope for a life, peace and family
Open your arms and protect and embrace me
Beirut
Beirut Beirut
You came to me on the waves of an old song and the scent of a’hawa (coffee in Arabic)
Beirut Beirut
