1. He rose proudly like Jesus the Messiah
Swaying joyfully, reciting hymns

2. In the name of the mouth, like angels, or like a child
Welcoming the new dawn

3. With his nose held high, majestic and lost
Raising his head, whispering to eternity

4. Warbling in the groves, his melody fills
The vast space with its tune!

5. Dreaming, like Moses, the Glory spoke to him
So he pulled the ropes aspiring to ascend

6. And rose like the soul on the night of Al-Qadr
Peacefully, celebrating a feast across the universe

7. And he mounted the altar of heroism
Yearning, and reached the sky seeking more

8. And rose, like the one who calls for prayer, reciting
Words of guidance, waking up the sleepy

9. A scream, shaking the worlds
A call that shook existence

10. Hang me, for I do not fear ropes
And crucify me, for I do not fear iron

11. And he obeyed, barefaced, your executioner
Do not cover up, for I am not cowardly

12. And take my life, oh death, as you wish
I am satisfied, if my people live happy

13. If I die, Algeria will live
Free, independent, it will not perish

14. An utterance, time echoed its reverberation
Sacredly, it repeated it well

15. Memorize it purely like gems
And pass it on to the generation, a glorious mention

16. And perform from its law good prayers
And teach it to the newborn

17. O Zabana, tell your comrades about us
In the heavens, we have kept our promise

18. And narrate about the Algerian revolution, to all beings
A glorious mention

19. A revolution, not for injustice or oppression
In a country that rose breaking its shackles

20. A revolution, filling the worlds with terror
And a jihad, harvesting the tyrants

21. How many miracles we brought in it
And amazed with wonders of existence

22. And we charged, like the daring horses
Meeting destruction, and gunpowder
