Lyrics
IN ENGLISH
All of us! For our country, for our Glory and Flag! Our valor and our
writings are the envy of the ages. Our mountain and our valley,
they bring forth stalwart men. And to perfection we devote our
words and labor. All of us! For our Country, for our Glory and Flag!
All of us! For our Country! Our elders and our children, they await
for Country’s call, and on the day of Crisis they are as Lions of the
jungle. The heart of our east is ever Lebanon, God has preserved
her until the end of time. All of us! For our Country, for our Glory
and Flag! All of us for our Country!
