1. I call her though I have no right to call
My country, green Tunisia, my country

2. How beautiful with the youth and she is a mother
Is it for them to leave her in oppression?

3. Imprisoned for loving her, my love increased
And I said today I knew my friend

4. I excused her though I was not disobedient
This is what my belief confirms

5. For me in prison there is only
Your deep love in my heart

6. I assured you of justice soon
It is enough for you to rely on God

7. For me and my brothers there is firm hope
In us the evening and morning are increasing

8. And your voice, high, ardent
With the song of the noble principles

9. How ardent with the constitution, voices
Echoing in the clubs

10. Until the call spread loudly
Openly in cities and countryside

11. Winds blew in its channels
And ships of unity sailed there

12. The prisoner today is not like me
Except like fire hidden in tinder

13. And if poems gush in my chest
Only sharpened spears of steadfastness

14. With them I defend the ransomed homeland
And protect green Tunisia, my country
