Fairuz - Khudni (Take me) lyrics

rate me

Take me to its lovely hills

Take me to the land that has reared me

and forget me there among vineyards and fig trees

and let me lie upon the soil of our village.

Ancient windows are signalling to me, and sounds of its

rivers are calling those who have travelled;

And eyes peeping from windows say to me,

We are friends.

And I walk in forgotten alleys, in late evenings,

when lights are about to go off,

waiting for a hand to shake mine and a voice

to salute me.

Take me and plant me in the land of Lebanon

take me to the house that is guarding the hill,

where I shall open the door and kiss the walls

and kneel under the loveliest sky, and pray, and pray...<br />

<br />
