I live in Lebanon and here's our national anthem

Youtube Video

Lyrics:

كلنا للوطن للعلى للعلم
    ملء عين الزّمن سيفنا والقلم
    سهلنا والجبل منبت للرجال
    قولنا والعمل في سبيل الكمال

كلنا للوطن للعلى للعلم
    كلّنا للوطن

شيخنا والفتى عند صوت الوطن
    أسد غاب متى ساورتنا الفتن
    شرقنا قلبه أبداً لبنان
    صانه ربه لمدى الأزمان

كلنا للوطن للعلى للعلم
    كلنا للوطن

بحره برّه درّة الشرقين
    رِفدُه برّهُ مالئ القطبين
    إسمه عزّه منذ كان الجدود
    مجدُهُ أرزُهُ رمزُهُ للخلود

كلّنا للوطن للعلى للعلم
    كلّنا للوطن

English Translation :

All of us! For our Country, for our Glory and Flag!
    Our valor and our writings are the envy of the ages.
    Our mountain and our valley, they bring forth stalwart men.
    And to Perfection we devote our words and labor.

All of us! For our Country, for our Glory and Flag!
    All of us! For our Country

Our Elders and our children, they await our Country's call,
    And on the Day of Crisis they are as Lions of the Jungle.
    The heart of our East is ever Lebanon,
    May God preserve him until the end of time.

All of us! For our Country, for our Glory and Flag!
    All of us! For our Country

The Gems of the East are his land and sea.
    Throughout the world his good deeds flow from pole to pole.
    And his name is his glory since time began.
    The cedars are his pride, his immortality's symbol.

All of us! For our Country, for our Glory and Flag!
    All of us! For our Country
