Arise with strength! For we have raised our flag, The flag which has cost us dear 𝄆 With extremes of thirst and pain. 𝄇 Our flag, whose colours are the everlasting green of the earth, The blue of the sky, and white, the colour of peace; And in the centre the red star of blood. 𝄆 Oh flag of ours, what a glorious sight! Oh flag of ours, what a glorious sight! 𝄇	Lève-toi avec force ! Parce que nous avons hissé notre drapeau, Le drapeau qui nous a coûté cher 𝄆 Avec une soif et une douleur extrêmes. 𝄇 Notre drapeau, dont les couleurs sont le vert éternel de la terre, Le bleu du ciel et le blanc, la couleur de la paix; Et dans le centre de l'étoile rouge de sang. 𝄆 Oh notre drapeau, quel spectacle magnifique ! Oh notre drapeau, quel spectacle magnifique ! 𝄇	انهضوا بقوة إلى حيث رفعنا رايتنا تلك الراية التي كلفتنا الغالي والنفيس 𝄇 مع مزيد من العطش والألم 𝄆 رايتنا بألوانها التي أخذت أبد الدهر، أخضرها من الأرض، وأزرقها من السماء؛ والأبيض لون السلام، وسطه النجم الأحمر بلون الدم 𝄇 يا رايتنا، كم تبعثين على الفخر يا رايتنا، كم تبعثين على الفخر 𝄆
