هكذا، يفعل أبناء الجزائر

يا صلاحَ الدين، في أرض الجزائر

Thus do the sons of Algeria

Thus do the sons of Algeria act

O Salah al-Din, in the land of Algeria

O Salah al-Din, in the land of Algeria

سرْ إلى الميدان، مأمونَ الخطا

وتطوع، في صفوف الجيش ثائر

March on to the battlefield, with assured step

March to the battlefield with steps assured

And volunteer, in the ranks of the insurgent army

And volunteer in the army's ranks, a revolutionary

أنت جنديّ بساحات الفدا

وأنا في ثورة التحرير شاعر

You are a soldier in the fields of sacrifice

You are a soldier in the fields of sacrifice

And I, in the revolution of liberation, a poet

And I, in the revolution of liberation, am a poet

زغردي يا أمَّه وافتخري

فابنك الشهم فدائيّ مغامر

Sing O mother and pride yourself

Ululate with joy, O mother, and take pride

For your valiant son is a daring adventurer

For your gallant son is a daring commando

كن شواظًا، وتنزلْ كالقضا

وتفجّر، فوق هامات الجبابر

Be fierce, and descend like destiny

Be a searing flame, and descend like Fate

And explode, over the skulls of the tyrants

And erupt above the heads of the tyrants

صلواتي لك، والله معك

سوف ألقاك بأعياد البشائر

My prayers for you, and God is with you

My prayers are yours, and God is with you

I will meet you on the days of good tidings

I shall meet you at the feasts of good tidings

فإذا ما عشتَ، حققتَ الرجا

وإذا ما متّ، فلتحيا الجزائر

If you live, you will fulfill hope

For if you live, you have realized the hope

And if you die, long live Algeria

And if you die, then long live Algeria

هكذا يفعل أبناء الجزائر
