رحيل الشحرورة الصبوحة عن عمر 87

87 - lorient le jour , and daily star mentioned

Rest in peace and thank you for the years of wonderful music. You will never be forgotten!

The death of Sabah had deeply saddened the Nation. Indeed, the loss of those whom we love and treasure makes it hard to find the right words to bring comfort to those who are left behind.
We brought nothing to this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out
(1 Tim. 6.7).
May God, the comfort of the sad, and the strength of those who suffer let
the lights of His Power perpetually shine upon the soul of Sabah and work
in her the good purpose of His perfect Will.

Your passing away made me sad, Sabbouha. Sabbouha, this alias made her close to all our hearts.
She will remain entangled with the Lebanon that I love. She was the good life. The myth of pre-war Lebanon. The belief that everything will be alright and that the war will end and Lebanon will be rebuild.
She was Lebanon’s Venus and Aphrodite, a real goddess. She was a bond between us Lebanese. She was our girlfriend, our wife, our mistress. Our pretty sister, our funky grandma.
It didn’t matter what god you prayed to, what politics you followed, how poor or rich you were, if you were Lebanese, you had Sabah imprinted like an invisible tattoo on your subconscious mind.
But now she left us in very uncertain, dangerous and desperate times. She took with her a part of the Lebanon that I loved; a part that will never come back.

Sabah was more than a diva. She incarnated the positive, happy, joyful and our beautiful Lebanon.
She was bright, flashy, hard working and a real star. She was a smile, a breeze, eternal youth, the Lebanon of my youth.
She was a symbol of goodness, love and giving. She was everything beautiful that Lebanon had to give.
The Lebanese spirit that refused to die even during the darkest days of the civil war. But now she is no more.
I never knew she was so entrenched in my psyche. I felt like I lost someone very close although I do not remember meeting her.
If I had to choose between Sabah and Fairuz. Sabah would win every time, although it is Fairuz’ songs that I hear and enjoy. But just seeing Sabah on magazine pages made me happy, gave me hope.

a giant is gone.

My dear friends Sabah was indeed an Iconic singer that is irrespective whether we enjoyed listening to her songs or not. The singer represented the beautiful image of Lebanon's past that can never be compensated again. RIP Sabah.

This song is a tribute to great singer Sabah.

Lebanon's Princess of hearts has left us now and with her a golden era of glory. Rest in Peace princess you will be sorely missed.

RIP Sabbouha

I do apologize to all for being acidic with this remark, but here we are paying tribute to a real lady, a lady who has done very much for Lebanon, given us immeasurable moments of joy with her songs, a charitable lady who has given so very much to the poor and needy. This thread has absolutely no attachments to politics, yet apparently there is an absolute IMBECILE here doing it his business to down thumb posts. I care less for his stupidity, but at some stage one can't ignore that it does taint somehow the spirit given to the tributes given to Sabah on Naharnet. If this imbecile can read, buzz off, you're being silly.

@whyaskwhy, absolutely right.

Rip

Amen

I thought you only like Iranian singers? lol

with her passing so goes the Golden era of Lebanon. May she rest in peace and I know she will always be remembered
