أراك مرفرفا فوق البلاد؟
When, O hoped-for flag,
When, O hoped for banner
When, O long-awaited flag,
will I see you fluttering above the land?
Will I see you waving over the land?
Shall I see you fluttering high above the land?
وحولكand around you أمةa nation تفيدكbestows upon you حباlove
وحولك أمة تفيدك حبا
وعنكand away from you تذودwards off غاراتraids الأعاديthe enemies
وعنك تذود غارات الأعادي
And around you, a nation bestows love upon you
And around you a nation that feeds you with love
Surrounded by a nation that ransoms you with love,
and wards off the enemies' raids from you.
And from you wards off the raids of enemies
And drives away from you the raids of enemies.
Sol 6.1
