Fayrouz was Born and educated in Beirut, she began her musical career as a chorus member at the Lebanese Radio Station. In the late 1950s her talent as a singer became fully acknowledged. Met with unprecedented enthusiasm, Fayrouz's early songs featured the singer's distinct vocal timbre and lyrics expressing romantic love and nostalgia for village life. They meshed with a delicate orchestral blend in which certain Arab instruments figured prominently but which also subtly incorporated European instruments and European popular dance rhythms. The lyrics translated from Arabic “Habbaytak bil sayf” - “I loved you in summer” - The Rahbani brothersIn the days of cold, in the days of rainand the pavement is a like a lake and the street is drowned,that girl used to come from her old house,and he used to tell her to wait for him and she would wait by the road,and he would forget all about her and she would wilt in the winter ,I loved you in summer, I loved you in winter,I waited for you in summer, I waited for you in winter,you eyes were the summer, and mine were winter, our meeting place my love was behind the summer and behind the winter,A strange woman passed and gave me a letter,which my love wrote in sad tears,I opened the letter and it’s letters were lost,and the days passed and the years drifted us apart,and the letters of the letter were erased by the rainI loved you in summer and loved you in winter waited for you in summer, I waited for you in winter,you eyes were the summer, and mine were winter, our meeting place my love was behind the summer and behind the winter
