Today marks the birthday of one of the most influential and admired singers in the Arab world and Lebanon’s acclaimed gem: Fairouz. The living legend and symbol of Lebanese pride rose to fame in the 1950s, having been discovered at the International Festival of Baalbeck.
Aside from revolutionizing Lebanese traditional music, Fairouz has managed to put our feelings and thoughts into words in an indescribable manner, we could have never said it better ourselves.
Here are 10 times Fairouz songs were perfect for every situation.
Happy Birthday, queen!
1. When you were longing for a loved one
Byetla3 3a bali erja3 ana w iyak
2. When you were feeling homesick
Bhebak ya libnan ya watani bhebak
3. When you were celebrating someone else’s happiness
Ou3a tenseni, ou3a tenseni, w tzakari hanna el sakran
4. When you were madly in love
Habbaytak bel sayf, habbaytak bel sheti
Shayef el baher shu kbir, keber el baher bhebak
5. When the summertime sadness hit you
Akher ayam al mashawir, fi ghaymeh zar2a w bared ktir
6. When you were missing your grandmother
Sitti ya sitti, shta2telek ya sitti
7. When you were feeling lonely
Zourouni kol sana marra, haram tensouni bel marra
W ana be iyyam el sa7ou, mahada natarni
8. When you meet a girl named “Aaliyah”
W yekhreb bayt 3younik ya Aaliyah shu helween
9. When the blanket was not enough to warm your winter soul
Shatti ya denyi ta yzid mawsamna w ye7la
10. When it was Mother’s Day
Oummi ya malaki, ya hobbi al baqi ila al abad
