Beirut's Beat
In Beirut's streets where life abounds,
A city's rhythm in the sounds.
From Corniche's waves to Gemmayzeh's lights,
Beirut glows through days and nights.
With ancient stones and modern beats,
Beirut's charm in every street.
Through every cheer, through every song,
Beirut's spirit remains strong.
In every smile, in every glance,
Beirut's heart takes a chance.
With every dawn, with every night,
Beirut shines with pure light.
Through every step, through every dance,
Beirut's soul in a trance.
In every laugh, in every tear,
Beirut's spirit ever near.
