Julia Boutros - My Beloved Ones [English Translation]

It is an Arabic song, performed by the Christian Lebanese singer Julia Boutros. The song is based on a letter sent by the general secretary of Hizbollah Hassan Nasrallah to the Lebanese fighters in South Lebanon during the 2006 Summer War between Lebanon and Israel. The poet Ghassan Matar adapted the original text. The music is composed by Ziad Boutros, Julia's brother. I tried so hard to be accurate during the translation of the lyrics to English. Take into consideration that the poem has lost its rhyme and rhythm because of translation. Here we go: Oh my beloved ones, I listened to your message, which was rich in splendor and faith You, as you said, are men of God in the battlefield A true promise you are, and our upcoming victory you are You are from the mountains of the sun, which are mighty more than other mighty creatures Because of you, the land and prisoners will be liberated Because of your fist and rage, the home and honor will be protected The builders of civilization you are, and the awakening of values you are And you are immortal, just like the immortality of Cedar trees The glory of our nation you are, and our leaders you are And the crown of our heads you are, and our masters you are Oh My beloved ones, I kiss the nobility of your feet, which grant honor to the honor itself The feet that implanted in the self-esteem of our land, so do not stumble or shake Because of You, we will change the universe, and the destiny will obey Because of you, we will build a better tomorrow, move on, and win
