A love song to Australia is one of Charbel Baini's books translated by Paul Abdul Ahad

PERTH

-1-

Perth... Call me so I can hear you

I will pour poetry into your ears

Wherever you are in this world

I will be with you, my eyes

Erase my childhood years

And wipe away the pain from your tears

-2-

Oh Perth

Oh, city of bliss

I'm coming to your lands

To give you a treat

Works that will make you richer

And fill your basket with joy

With a few free “Mejana” songs

-3-

In your heart is compassion and tenderness

For people who are a symbol of knowledge

I gave you books of poetry and literature

Take from my treasure of glory

In you is the sun like gold

And in you is the moon that never goes out
