“I Beg You” is more than a mere song whose melody and lyrics delight us. It is a song that exudes emotions and nostalgia. It is poetry woven by the tear of an underprivileged person waiting for a gift. It is a melody embracing wishes and hopes; it embodies the suffering of an oppressed person demanding justice, as it embodies a child’s innocence lost in a world governed by the selfishness of grown-ups.

“I Beg You” is a song whose lyrics were written by Dr. Sumer Rifaat Al-Assad in 1986 when he was 14 years old. He sent them to his uncle President Hafez Al-Assad, hoping that his words will remove the obstacles hindering the repatriation of his family.

We present this song, which is sung by Ali Al-Hajjar, without comment.
