It was March 14th, 2005! My friend called me from the martyr's square in Beirut. He was jubilant! In the background were deafening sounds of cheers and merriment! Sounds of a dfieant nation!
We kicked them out, he said! He was refering to Syrians and the end to their decades of tirade in Lebanon. Where they were aboslute masters of people's lives and fortunes. Against all odds, Lebanese made a revolution happen. The Cedar revolution! They brought back freedom to the the celestial cedar grooves of mount Lebanon, Joonieh, Byblos, Matn district, and shouf mountains. Bride of the middle east wore her wedding dress once more!
All that thanks to Rafik Hariri, an exceptional patriot who, even in death, managed to bring liberty to Lebanon.
The background song of those euphoric days, was the passionate and beautiful voice of Julia Buotros, singing "Ana Batnaffas Hurreih", I'm breathing freedom, an epic song which till this day brings tears into my eyes and butterflies in my tommy, and makes the hair on my hand stand!
Just listen and see!
A Liberal translation of the song says:
I'm breathing freedom!
Don't cut this air from me.
Your presence is too much for me, it's better if we live apart.
You can never enforce yourself on me, instead, You have to listen and talk to me! And if your thinking differs than mine, tyranny is not the solution!
I'm breathing freedom!
Don't cut this air from me.
Your presence is too much for me, it's better if we live apart
I wish you hear to this from me, enough whatever that has happenned! Whom, who stands to the face of thoughts, will face a forceful resistance.
The world is asking everyone, when is the time for truth? And if you want us to find a solution, there is no other option than thinking together...
I'm breathing freedom!
Don't cut this air from me.
Your presence is too much for me, it's better if we live apart!
The voice of freedom stays above all other voices, no matter how hard the winds of tyranny blow, the night of hardnesses will end! No matter how you want to paint this world, it comes back to the color of freedom. You can not change how the world works and which direction the air flows.
I'm breathing freedom!
Don't cut this air from me.
Your presence is too much for me, it's better if we live apart!
I'm breathing freedom!
Don't cut this air from me.
Your presence is too much for me, it's better if we live apart!
I dedicate this song to whomever aspires freedom! In middle east or anywhere in the world!
