Mawtini

Intro

*(Soft strings swell, horns rise solemnly)*

Verse

My homeland, my homeland, eternal and true,

Where rivers of valor through valleys do flow,

The cradle of heroes, steadfast and bold,

In thy sacred bosom, our spirits we hold.

Chorus

Mawtini, Mawtini,

Land of the noble, the free, and the pure,

Mawtini, Mawtini,

Forever I'll guard thee, with heart strong and sure.

*(Horns proclaim, choir echoes: Mawtini... Mawtini...)*

Verse

Beneath azure skies, where the olives abide,

Thy mountains stand guardian, unyielding with pride,

Through tempests of time, thy glory endures,

Our oath to defend thee, forever secures.

Chorus

Mawtini, Mawtini,

Land of the noble, the free, and the pure,

Mawtini, Mawtini,

Forever I'll guard thee, with heart strong and sure.

*(Voices layer, building to crescendo: Mawtini... Mawtini...)*

Bridge

*(Orchestra pauses, solo violin weeps, then full strings surge)*

Chorus

Mawtini, Mawtini,

Land of the noble, the free, and the pure,

Mawtini, Mawtini,

Forever I'll guard thee (guard thee), with heart strong and sure (and sure).

Outro

*(Fade with horns and choir: Mawtini... Mawtini... echoing into silence)*
