Fairuz was born Nouhad Haddad in Jabal al Arz, Lebanon. She began her musical career as a teenager. From chorus girl at the Lebanese radio station in the late 1940s, to critical and popular acclaim from the 1950s to today, Fairuz is acknowledged not only for her musical talent and contribution, but also as a cultural and political icon. A symbol of a people, a heritage, a quest for peace, and of humanity. During most of her career, Fairuz reflected two other great artists, Assi and Mansour Rahbani. They wrote the lyrics and composed her tunes. Today, many of her songs reflect the composing talent of Ziad Rahbani who is Fairuz's son. Her songs testify to the Rahbani musical genius, as well as to Fairuz's broad musical background. Referred to as "The Soul of Lebanon" in the 1970s, Fairuz became a pre-eminent figure, a superstar of current music in the Arab world. Together, the Rahbani family is both a school of music and a cultural phenomenon.

و تشتي الدنيي و يحملو شمسية
و أنا بأيام الصحو ما حدا نطرني
أديش كان في ناس عالمفرق تنطر ناس
و تشتي الدنيي و يحملو شمسية
و أنا بأيام الصحو ما حدا نطرني
صار لي شي مية سنة مشلوحه بهالدكان
و أنا عيني عالحلى و الحلى عالطرقات
غنيلو غنيات و هو بحالو مشغول
نطرت مواعيد الأرض و ما حدا نطرني
صار لي شي مية سنة عم ألف عناوين
مش معروفة لمين و وديلن أخبار
بكرا لا بد السما ما تشتيلي عالباب
شمسيات و أحباب يخدوني بشي نهار
و اللي ذكر كل الناس بالأخر ذكرني
أديش كان في ناس عالمفرق تنطر ناس
و تشتي الدنيي و يحملو شمسية
و أنا بأيام الصحو ما حدا نطرني
The lyrics of "Addeysh Kan Fi Nass" by Fairuz tells a tale of a lonely individual who observes the world around them with a heavy heart. The individual sees groups of people waiting for each other under the sun and living their lives with close relationships and companionship. Meanwhile, the individual is left alone with their own thoughts and emotions. The opening line, "adiish kan fi nass 'alamfara'" translates to "how many people used to wait for each other at crossroads," emphasizing the loneliness and isolation the individual feels.
The individual contrasts their solitary life with the lively atmosphere of their surroundings. They describe waiting for a hundred years in the same spot, feeling neglected by even the walls surrounding them. The loneliness they feel is palpable, "and I am alone with my eyes on the beauty and the beauty on the roads. I sing songs for him, but he is busy with his life." The individual is preoccupied with the idea that they have been left behind and forgotten.
The song's conclusion is a plea for someone to notice the individual and offer them the love and affection they desire. The use of the phrase "shamsiyat wa ahbab" or "sunshades and loved ones" shows the individual's longing for warmth and companionship, both symbolized by a metaphorical sunshade. The song highlights the importance of human connection and the toll loneliness can take on an individual's mental state.
