about

A traditional Levantine folk song sung by Hasna Al Hassoun

lyrics

Arabic:

هدي يابحر تراث 
هدي يا بحر هدي طولنا في غيبتنا
ودي سلامي ودي للارض اللي ربتنا
وسلملي على الزيتونه 
على اهلي اللي ربوني
وبعدا امي الحنوني بتشمشم بمخدتنا
سلم على بلادي تربة بَي وجدادي
وبعدوا العصفور الشادي بغرد لعودتنا
وخدي سلامي يا نجوم
عالبيادر والكروم
وبعدا الفراشه بتحوم عم تستنظر عودتنا
واحمل لبلادي سلام
لخوالي ولكل العمام
وبعدوا زغلول الحمام عشوا على توتتنا
هدي يابحر هدي طولنا طولنا في غيبتنا 
ودي سلامي ودي للارض اللي ربتنا

English translation:

Calm my sea, calm! We have been away for quite some time
Send my regards to the land that raised us 
Greet the olive
Greet my family who raised us 
Does my kind mother still smell our pillows?
Greet my country, the land of my father and ancestors
Does the bird still sing for our return?
Oh stars, take my greetings. 

Are the butterflies still flying around waiting for our return?
Give my greetings to my country
And all my uncles 
Is the nest still in the branch of the tree? 
Calm my sea, calm! We have been away for quite some time
Send my regards to the land that raised us .
