النشيد الوطني للجزائر

We swear by the devastating calamities, By the pure and stainless blood, By the bright flags that wave, Flying proudly on the high mountains That we are in revolt, whether to live or to die, We are determined that Algeria should live, So be our witness, be our witness, be our witness! We are soldiers, for the sake of justice we revolted, And for our independence we waged war, When we spoke, nobody listened to us, So we have taken the noise of gunpowder as our rhythm And the sound of machine guns as our melody, We are determined that Algeria should live, So be our witness, be our witness, be our witness! O France, the time of reproof is over And we have closed it as a book is closed; O France, this is the day of reckoning So prepare to receive from us our answer! Our revolution has the final word; We are determined that Algeria should live, So be our witness, be our witness, be our witness! From our heroes we shall send forth an army, From our dead we shall build up a glory, At the price of our lives we shall rise to immortality And above our heads we shall raise the standard. To the nation's Liberation Front we have sworn an oath, We are determined that Algeria should live, So be our witness, be our witness, be our witness! The cry of the motherland sounds from the battlefields. Listen to it and answer the call! Let it be written with the blood of martyrs And be read to future generations. Oh, glory, we have held out our hand to you, We are determined that Algeria should live, So be our witness, be our witness, be our witness!
