Repeat, O World, my song.

Echo it over and over again.

Remember, through my joy, each march.

Clothe him with the shining mantles

Of our festivals.

Repeat, O World, my song.

In faith and love am I part of mankind.

An Arab am I in all my life.

My heart beats in tune with Yemen.

No foreigner shall dominate over Yemen.

Original Arabic Lyrics

رددي أيتها الدنيا نشيدي ردديـه وأعـيدي وأعـيـدي

واذكـري في فـرحتي كل شهيد وامنحيه حللاً من ضوء عيدي


1
يـا بلادي نحن أبنـاء وأحفاد رجالك

سوف نحمي كل ما بين يدينا من جلالـك

وسيبقى خالد الضوء على كل المسالك

كل صخرة في جبالك ..

كل ذرة في رمالك


2
كـل أنداءفي ضـلالـك ..

مـلـكنا

إنـها ملك أمـانينا الـكبيرة..

حقنا جاء من أمجاد ماضيك المثيرة


Chorus

3
وحدتي .. وحدتي ..

يا نشيدا رائـعاً يملأ نـفسي أنتِ عـهد عالق في كل ذمة

رايتي .. رايتي ..

يا نسيجاً حكته من كل شـمس اخـلدي خافقة في كل قمة

أمتي .. أمتي ..

امنحيني البأس يا مصدر بأسي واذخريني لك يا أكرم أمة


4
عشت إيماني وحبي امميا

ومسيري فوق دربي عربيا

وسيبقى نبـض قلبي يمنيا

لن ترى الدنيا على أرضي وصيا

English translation from the original lyrics

Repeat, Oh World, my song.
Echo it over and over again.
Remember, through my joy, each martyr.
Clothe him with the shining mantles Of our festival.

Repeat, Oh World, my song.
Repeat, Oh World, my song.

Oh my country, we are sons and grandsons of your men.
We will guard all of your majesty in our hands.
Its light will be immortal on all ways
Every rock on your mountains, all atoms of your soils

All wets of your waters, are our mine.
There are for our large wishes, and our right.
Came from your past's pretty glories.

Repeat, Oh World, my song.
Repeat, Oh World, my song.

My unity, Oh marvellous song fill myself
You are promise in our response
My banner, Oh cloth nailed from every sun
Raise forever on every peak
My nation, give me strength, Oh source of strength
And save me for you, best nation

In faith and love I am part of mankind.
An Arab I am in all my life.
My heart beats in tune with Yemen.
No foreigner shall dominate over Yemen.

Repeat, Oh World, my song.
Echo it over and over again.
Remember, through my joy, each martyr.
Clothe him with the shining mantles Of our festival.

Repeat, Oh World, my song.
Repeat, Oh World, my song.
