1. I swear by the overwhelming disasters
And the pure, gushing blood

2. And the shining, fluttering flags
In the towering, lofty mountains

3. We have resolved, whether in life or death
To keep Algeria alive

4. So bear witness, bear witness, bear witness
We are soldiers for the sake of truth

5. And for our independence, we started a war
They did not listen when we spoke

6. So we took up the melody of gunfire and bullets as our tune
And played the rhythm of machine guns as our song

7. We have resolved that Algeria will live
So bear witness, bear witness, bear witness

8. Oh France, the time for reproach has passed
And we have folded it like a book

9. Oh France, this is the day of reckoning
So prepare yourself and hear our response

10. For in our revolution is the end of this discourse
We have resolved that Algeria will live

11. So bear witness, bear witness, bear witness
We send an army of our heroes

12. And build glory on our martyrs
And ascend immortality on our souls

13. And raise banners on our heads
We have given you a pledge, Front of Liberation

14. We have resolved that Algeria will live
So bear witness, bear witness, bear witness

15. The cry of the nations from the altar of sacrifice
Hear it and respond to the call

16. And write it with the blood of martyrs
And read it to the youth of tomorrow

17. We have extended to you, oh glory, a hand
We have resolved that Algeria will live

18. So bear witness, bear witness, bear witness
