[Português] Fairuz (ou ainda Fairouz, Fayrouz, Feyrouz e Feiruz) é uma artista de grande prestígio em todo o mundo árabe, uma carreira de sucesso absoluto, atuante desde a era do rádio libanês, possui dezenas de discos gravados a partir de 1962, trilhas e participações para cinema, teatro, televisão, operas e operetas, e mais recentemente em dvds de shows ao vivo. Nascida em 1935, na aldeia Jabal al Arz nas montanhas libanesas, pouco depois com a família mudou-se para Beirute, cidade onde vive e desenvolve toda sua carreira. Começou como membro do coro da Rádio libanesa e em meados dos anos 1950 já se tornava muito conhecida devido principalmente ao seu timbre vocal distinto e as letras que retratavam o amor e a nostalgia da vida da aldeia. Na segunda metade desta década, a jovem Fairuz junta-se aos Irmãos Rahbani, passo fundamental para impulsionar a sua arte e reconhecimento de forma mais ampla. Os três músicos desenvolvem juntos um novo estilo de música libanesa em que as misturas orquestrais delicadas e instrumentos árabes em destaque, são incorporados a elementos externos como instrumentos e ritmos de danças populares europeias, e a música latino-americana. Eles rapidamente se tornam famosos em todo o mundo árabe, com centenas de composições conhecidas e o início de uma fértil e produtiva participação no cinema que aumentaram ainda mais seu público árabe, incluindo aqueles que vivem na Europa e nas Américas. As letras eram escritas por Mansour Rahbani, e as músicas compostas e arranjadas Assi Rahbani, ex-marido de Fairuz. As canções de Fayrouz desenvolveram muito com a genialidade musical e poético destes dois irmãos. As aptidões musicais da família são certificadas com o surgimento do talentoso pianista e compositor Ziad Rahbani, filho de Fairuz e Assi Rahbani. Na década de 1970 Ziad passa a contribuir significativamente no trabalho de Fairuz, introduzindo elementos do jazz e outras formas juntando se as características que moldaram a cantora, formas litúrgicas cristãs com as tradições seculares de música árabe.
Entre os diversos fatores que tornaram Fairuz uma artista de imensa popularidade, algumas posturas relacionadas as convulsões políticas que atingiram o Líbano, entre elas o fato significante que durante a guerra civil libanesa (de 1975 a 1990) Fairuz não abandonou o pais, mantendo-se lá e fiel as suas raízes geográficas. Hoje, Fairuz é adorada como uma diva libanesa, considerado como a mais famosa cantora do mundo árabe na atualidade e um dos nomes mais conhecidos de todos os tempos. A artista tem uma legião de fãs, influenciou e continua influenciando todas as gerações de cantores posteriores a ela principalmente de sua terra natal. Este artigo, com toda modéstia, faz um breve descrição do que representa o nome Fairuz para o cenário musical internacional hoje. Tratando-se de uma discografia imensa, disponibilizar toda a obra de Fairuz, o blog estaria fugindo da proposta que é difusão da música. São colocados a disposição apenas dois discos do imenso acervo discográfico, dois ótimos trabalhos relacionados a fase mais recente da carreira da artista, o álbum de estúdio "Eh Fi Amal / إيه في أمل" gravado em 2010, e o emocionante álbum ao vivo "Live at Beitddine / في بيت الدين" de 2000.

They quickly become famous throughout the Arab world, with hundreds of known compositions and the beginning of a fruitful and productive participation in the film that further increased his Arab audience, those who live in Europe and the Americas. The lyrics were written by Mansour Rahbani, and songs composed and arranged by Assi Rahbani, Fairuz ex-husband. The Fayrouz songs developed much with the musical and poetic genius of these two brothers. The family musical skills are certified with the emergence of the talented pianist and composer Ziad Rahbani, son of Fairuz and Assi Rahbani. In the 1970s Ziad began to contribute significantly in the work of Fairuz, introducing elements of jazz and other musical forms, and joining with the characteristics that shaped the singer, Christian liturgical forms with the secular traditions of Arab music.
Among the various factors that Fairuz became an artist of immense popularity, so certain behaviors related political upheavals that hit Lebanon, including the significant fact that during the Lebanese civil war (1975-1990) Fairuz did not abandon the country, keeping faithful their geographical roots. Today, Fairuz is worshiped as a Lebanese diva, regarded as the most famous singer in the Arab world today and one of the best known names of all time. The artist has a legion of fans, influenced and continues to influence all subsequent generations of singers to it mainly from their homeland.

Arabic Lyric Translation for Fairuz's amazing song "Eh Fi Amal / إيه في أمل / There is a Hope"
رغم الزهر للّي متلّي الحقول
وشو ما تحكي وتشرحلي وتقول
حبيبي حبيبي
تانرجع لأ مش معقول
although flowers are scattered in the fields
no matter what u say or explain
my love my love
to get back again is impossible
عندي سنونو وفي عندي قرميد
وبعرف شو يعني اذا إنت بعيد
بس حبيبي إحساسي
ماعاد يرجعلي من جديد
في أمل إيه في أمل
أوقات بيطلع من ملل
وأوقات بيرجع من شي حنين
i have a Swallow and i have a brick
and i know well what does it mean when you are far
but darling my feelings
wont back to me once again
is there a hope? yeah there is a hope
that came up from boredom
and sometimes it came up from a longing
لحظات تايخفّف زعل
وبيذكّرني فيك لون شبابيك
بس ما بينسيني شو حصل
في قدّامي مكاتيب من سنين
زهقت ورد ومنتور وياسمين
حبيبي حبيبي
ماعاد يلمسني الحنين
at some moments to hold things down
window colors that reminds me of you
but they don't help me to forget what happened
there is a letters in front of me since years
i get rid of roses ..Wallflowers and Jasmin
my love my love
longing wont touch my feelings again
في ماضي منيح بس مضى
صفّى بالريح بالفضا
وبيضل تذكار عن مشهد صار
في خبز في ملح في رضى
ويوميّة ليل وبعدو نهار
عمري قدّامي عم ينقض
there is a good past but it passed
it has settled in the air /in the horizon
it remains a memory about a scene that happen
there is a bread..a salt and satisfaction
and everyday there is a night and a day that follows
my life is passing in front of me
شوف القمح للّي بيطلع بسهول
شوف المي للّي بتنزل عاطول
حبيبي احساسي
هلقد معقولة يزول
شو بتخبّر اصحاب وزوّار
عنّي انّي محدودة وبغار
بس حبيبي كرمالي
تنيناتنا منعرف شو صار
look at the wheat which is growing in the fields
look at the water which is pouring/falling always
darling my feelings
is it impossible they fade that much
what would u tell a friends and guests
about me ..that am jealous and very specific (have limited mind)
for my sake my love
we both know whats happened.
