1. The dawn grazed with its colorful scarf
Among the hills giving sights to the eyes

2. And touched the living flowers, so they bowed
Their petals, like a compliant lover

3. And called the birds to spend the night fluttering
Above the valleys in variegated tunes

4. And its breeze crept after it
So the branches swayed drunkenly

5. All the hopes of the days of spring
Wore the best of beauty and finery

6. It has a youthfulness in its chest
That almost turned into chronic vigor

7. And poetry burst forth from my heart pouring
Its essence for my homeland to drink

8. Oh homeland, the enemies battered its traits
You upset me and prevented me from sleeping

9. Oh homeland, the enemies stabbed its heart
I used to be safe from their daggers

10. My passion for you and not passionlessness after
They attacked your protection so easily

11. And came to you pretending affection while
Each one boasted with a deceptively lined garment

12. I used to think civilization a blessing
Until I saw the ferocity of the civilized

13. So next to its kindness lies the worst havoc
And next to soft words lies the iron

14. The sin is my sin when I cared for their love
Oh my homeland, here is my heart, so stab it

15. And immerse your wounds in my blood, maybe
It will help and you'll recover, my homeland

16. Strange are my people, sitting idly, sleeping
While their enemy does not stop crushing them

17. Strange are my people, all mute, and if one
Speaks, he says "if only" and "perhaps"

18. They never feared the truth,
never turned from the clear path

19. The countries are generous, if only
they were frugal with those who make them graves

20.
They said "the youth" so I said "a blunt sword

21. but if educated, the essence of steel"
A playground for the countries' youth, when each

22. turns, not to his country, he will not excel
A playground for the countries' youth, yet they

23. only aspire to the heights, their wont
The youth rose demanding their glory
