English translation:

1)We're all for our nation, for our emblem and for the glory.
Our valor and our writings are the ages' envy.
Our mountains and our valleys flourish stalwart men.
What we say and do are devoted to perfection.
We're all for our nation, for our emblem and for the glory.

2)Our elders and children await our country's call,
They are like lions from the jungle on the day of crisis.
The heart of our East is ever Lebanon,
May God preserve it until the end of time.
We're all for our nation, for our emblem and for the glory.

3)The Gems of the East are its land and sea.
Throughout the world its good deeds flow from pole to pole.
And its name is its glory since time began.
The cedars are its pride, its immortality's symbol.
We're all for our nation, for our emblem and for the glory.

Latin transliteration:

1)Koullouna lil watan lil aoula lil aalam.
Mil'ou aynil zaman, sayfouna wal qalam.
Sahlouna wal jabal, manbiton lirrijal.
Qawlouna wal aamal fi sabeelil kamal.
Koullouna lil watan, lil aoula lil aalam.
Koullouna lil watan.

2)Shaykhouna wal fata, ainda sawtil watan.
Osdou ghaben mata, sawaratnal fitan.
Sharqouna qalbohou, abadan lobnan.
Sanahou Rabbohou li madal azman.
Koullouna lil watan, lil aoula lil aalam.
Koullouna lil watan.

3)Bahrouhou barrouho, dourratoul sharqayn.
Rifdohou birrohou, mali'oul qotbayn.
Ismouhou aizzohou mounzou kanal jodoud.
Majdohou arzohou ramzohou lil kholoud.
Koullouna lil watan, lil aoula lil aalam.
Koullouna lil watan.
