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.

شي مابينتسى
تركت الحب واخذت الاسى
شو بدي دور
لشو عم دور على غيرو
في ناس كتير لكن بيصير مافي غيرو
صباح ومسا
شي مابينتسى
حبيبي كان هني وسهيان مافي غيرو
حملني سنين منن هينن كتر خيرو
صباح ومسا
شي مابينتسى
تركت الحب واخذت الاسى
حبيبي منيح لاشو التجريح تعب مني
انا الي كنت مابفهم انت حمل عني
صباح ومسا
شي مابينتسى
تركت الحب واخذت الاسى
لعل وعسى
اترك هال أسى
ويرجعلي حبي
صباح ومسى
بس انت انت وبس

Where to look and why to look for someone else?
There are many people, But it's as if there's no one but him

Unforgettable thing (Can't stop thinking of u)
I left the Love and took the cruelty
My Love was carefree and naïve, there was no one but him
He put up with me for years, not easy ones, bless him

My Love is good, why the insult(no need to badmouth him), he got tired of me
It was I who didn't understand, a girl, he carried the burden for me
