WATCH: The Lebanese Army Song By Lebanon's Finest أغنية الجيش - نوال الزغبي - نانسي - وائل كفوري - عاصي

The army is supposed to be made out of the country's finest people, but in the case of Lebanon the jury is still out on this matter. In the meantime, Lebanon's finest pop singers have joined forces to do a song for this army that has not seen a good day in a really long time. The army is proud yet they seem to get no respect around the country--singers and writers would like to think people should respect the army, but most think of them as a farce.

So the army did the next best thing to try to get its name out there, hiring a volunteer singer squad to d a song for them while dressed in army gear. Nancy Ajram singed up, so has Nawal El Zoghby, Wael Kfoury, Assi Hallani, composer Samir Sfir's name is also attached to the project. Nizar Francis wrote the lyrics

The official clip is yet to be released, but we have the audio track and some of the behind the scenes images with the artists who have taken part of this grand project. The song will be released int he Lebanese army day of celebration.

In fairness, even the American army does these kind of songs and material to promote their work, so there's no shame in doing that that. What I do not like, is how people who have never served in the army--maybe Wael did are pretending to be all tough by wearing the army gear. Najwa Karam has done a song three years a go with the help of the army where she featured some of their officers.

نانسي ونوال، عاصي ووائل: معاً لجيش لبنان


أغنية الجيش - نوال الزغبي - نانسي - وائل كفوري - عاصي NEW 2012



نجوم لبنانيون يؤكِّدون: الجيش خط أحمر وضمانة للشعب

"بالشرق كان الليل عمرو سنين

ولبنان كان بعتمتو غرقان

إلاّ ولمع سيفك يا فخرالدين

وبديت حكاية اسمها لبنان

كان صعب العيش والناس خيفانة

صار عنا جيش والجيش لبناني

وصاروا رجال الدار جيش الحما وأهلا

وصرنا كبار صغار نهتفلن أهلاً
