1. With you we begin.. and to you we return
And from the overflow of your virtues we seek more

2. And from the abundance of your hands whatever I gained
And whatever I acquire.. and whatever I regain

3. With you the balconies of life are built
And for the dawn through them a pillar splits

4. And from your toil the crops grow
And the masses are fed.. and the soldiers clothed

5. And were it not for you no institute would stand
No verdure sprout.. no branch raise

6. And from your constant, strenuous effort
Good deeds from us become available

7. And for evil.. where terrible devastation
Our elders and children with it perish

8. By your hands as bullets are loaded
We die.. and when shackles are poured

9. So we are if you wish, and destruction
And we are if you wish, and existence

10. You then own time by your right
If your day comes that you prevail

11. For you alone will praise be presented
And wishes fulfilled.. and gifts bestowed

12. Has then the taste of deep praise
And in the bosom of loyalty efforts slept

13. I tell you, o workers
And carrying honesty is a burdensome task

14. For the gloomiest that impeded people's progress
Are efforts on which indifference is pardoned

15. And an era that obscures with mundane things
The years of brilliance, a lackluster era

16. And a regime that places on the brilliant
Limits.. that are placed on him limits

17. My companion.. and you are good companions
When pledges are broken by a companion

18. I see the unseen as the morning sun clearly
And like fire pilgrims flock to it

19. I see your tomorrow, creeping, above it
Meadows graze.. and flowers bloom

20. So incline to it.. it is from you
Near.. and no dawn of night is far

21. Your hammers are the bell of time
Ringing.. that even steel hears

22. And from amongst you will extend palms
A stubborn, strong, purposeful generation

23. Yesterday has passed.. where elders recount
To their children how slaves lived..!

24. And how on hot rods were exposed
Dimples, to be clothed with worn rags

25. And how gradually
From bitter sweat a unique necklace was formed

26. And how your children in barrens
Were molded like the pampered child

27. And how on crumbs of bread
In every harsh day one is rubbed

28. Yesterday has passed, gloomy.. and behind it
Faces passed, the gloom dispelling

29. And on "July Day" were split, for it
And for those loyal to it, cheeks

30. And in the blaze of the "Revolution"
The skins of the bloated peeled

31. And you, even if the duty of loyalty
Is that a pact has ended, and pledges dissolved

32. And that noble leaders have adopted you
With what a leader adopts, firmly

33. For behind you is an aim
Remote expanses will be folded, with arms

34. As if the summits of loftiness in it
And the zeal of demons ripe yield

35. If you race to a mirage
A new mirage will appear

36. So do not take the path of struggle lightly
For beyond the end is a long stage

37. Take your day as a gain and be keen
On it, and increase your keenness.. and defend

38. And grow your gains, no precious
Thing comes to you.. or insignificant

39. But more sacrifices
For in them from all good is more

40. The swamp of the toilers still
Covers it for the exploiters, worms

41. Not all of them were buried.. but
A vein was relieved, for a vein to be relieved

42. A time has passed when for you
A cheek was slapped, and a nape lashed

43. And a time will come in which
For the arrogant cheeks will be slapped

44. Awareness has walked in the nations of the East
And died, but the inert crowds shook off

45. And prevailed over the clamor of the masses
Shaking off their deep slumber

46. Tomorrow when ranks pull ranks
And when the kindling kindles kindling

47. And when from the toilers a firm
Rule over the exploiters straightens

48. And when the shade of bliss
Shades an outcast, or homeless

49. Tomorrow they will melt, and pretense
And the effort of the diligent immortalizes

50. Tomorrow they will perish, nations
Though slow in their march, do not perish

51. Tomorrow they will melt like ice melting
And how can one live with ice melting?

52. There an elder will remember
And cry for what a grandfather tasted

53. There for you will be sung
On the strings of the heart this anthem

54. There the children will say
This anthem lit up the path for us

55. Its writer prophesied that we prevail
And here we are, despite noses, prevailing

56. And blessed is the happy feast of struggle
Followed by days of goodness, a feast
