Julia Boutros - Lebanon is Victorious

Very moving song from Julia Boutros, performed after Israeli forces withdrew from Lebanon in 2006.

Watch the performance, read the lyrics in Arabic and in English translation on the fabulous Arabic Music Translation site

So many people use French and English in Lebanon that many young people struggle with standard classical Arabic. فعل أمر is a campaign to bring standard Arabic back into the mainstream and make it cool to young people
