City by the sea,

city with blood, sweat, and tears --


my city, Beirut.


Oude stad aan zee,Alte Stadt am Meer,
stad met bloed, zweet en tranen --Stadt mit Blut, Schweiß und Tränen --
mijn stad, mijn Beiroet.meine Stadt, Beirut.

I think of Beirut,

the city where I grew up --


where there is no peace.

waar ik opgroeide, Beiroet --aufgewachsen bin, Beirut --
waar geen vrede is.wo kein Frieden herrscht.
