On a Lebanese night

Recently I make a friend from Israel, so I am very curious and go to Internet to search about history of Jew and Israel, and after that I know there was a war between Israel and Lebanon in this summer, also I know many good belly dancers are from Lebanon, that's why I want to find more about Lebanon, I found this song from someone's blog, I spent a lot of time to search where to download this song, finally I find it. This song really touch my heart deeply, I would like to share with you.

Most of civilians don't want to have a war, this song sing by a Lebanese singer Elissa and a Scotland singer Chris De Burgh, you will love it and listen over and over again.

由黎巴嫩歌手Elissa和英國歌手Chris De Burgh合作演繹的歌曲《黎巴嫩之夜》,傳遍了全世界,人們彷彿從他們的歌聲裡感受到了那段飽受戰火的黎巴嫩歷史。

Lyrics in English :

It was late in a Lebanese restaurant, in the heat of a Lebanese night,
There was dancing, people were singing,
She came in from the garden outside,
And in her eyes I saw the stars,
And I felt something happen in my heart;
Then I knew I was going to meet her in the heat of a Lebanese night,
And the girl inside the woman, who came over to sit by my side,
And when she smiled, the whole world stopped,
It was then I heard the echoes of a child;
* And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,
And the sound of the guns in the night,
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,
From the hell that came down from the sky?
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night; *
We went down to the edge of the water,
by the light of a Lebanese dawn,
And she told me all the stories of her beautiful land in the war,
Her tears fell down, the sun came up,
And I saw again the young girl in her eyes;
(Repeat *)
All of my life, all I have known,
Only a place where peace cannot go;
All over the world, the gift from before,
Nothing is left for the children of war;
(Repeat *)
I will be waiting, in the Lebanon.

中文翻譯歌詞:

在一個炎熱的黎巴嫩的深夜,黎巴嫩餐館裡人們在跳舞人們在歌唱,
她從外面的花園中走進來,她的眼睛像群星閃爍,
一種奇妙的感覺從我心底升起。
在一個炎熱的黎巴嫩的深夜,我注定要遇見她,
這個如同天真少女的女人,走過來坐在我身邊,
她的微笑使世界停止,那時我聽到了一個孩子的回聲。

昨夜你的睡夢中,有沒有甜蜜的搖籃曲,和著那深夜的槍聲?
你是在田野裡翩翩起舞,還是在戰火中奪路而逃,
從那天空中突然降下的地獄中逃生?
在一個黎巴嫩的夜晚,在一個黎巴嫩的夜晚。

在一個海邊的黎巴嫩的清晨,她向我講述了所有的故事,
講述戰爭中她那美麗的家園,她的淚流下來,太陽升起來,
在她的眼中,我又看到了那個掩藏在女人外表下的女孩。

我的生命中,我說知道的,只是一個和平不能到達的地方。
世界的一切,祖先留下的禮物,戰爭中的孩子們卻什麼都沒有。

昨夜你的睡夢中,有沒有甜蜜的搖籃曲,和著那深夜的槍聲?
你是在田野裡翩翩起舞,還是在戰火中奪路而逃,
從那天空中突然降下的地獄中逃生?
在一個黎巴嫩的夜晚,在一個黎巴嫩的夜晚,
我會等待你,在黎巴嫩。
