Lyrics

Lyrics in Arabic Transliteration English translation French translation

قسما بالنازلات الماحقات
و الدماء الزاكيات الطاهرات
و البنود اللامعات الخافقات
في الجبال الشامخات الشاهقات
نحن ثرنا فحياة أو ممات
و عقدنا العزم أن تحيا الجزائر
فاشهدوا... فاشهدوا... فاشهدوا...

نحن جند في سبيل الحق ثرنا
و إلى استقلالنا بالحرب قمنا
لم يكن يصغى لنا لما نطقنا
فاتخذنا رنة البارود وزنا
و عزفنا نغمة الرشاش لحنا
وعقدنا العزم أن تحيا الجزائر
فاشهدوا... فاشهدوا... فاشهدوا...

يا فرنسا قد مضى وقت العتاب
و طويناه كما يطوى الكتاب
يا فرنسا ان ذا يوم الحساب
فاستعدي وخذي منا الجواب
ان في ثورتنا فصل الخطاب
و عقدنا العزم ان تحيى الجزائر
فاشهدوا... فاشهدوا... فاشهدوا...

نحن من أبطالنا ندفع جندا
و على أشلائنا نصنع مجدا
و على أرواحنا نصعد خلدا
و على هاماتنا نرفع بندا
جبهة التحرير أعطيناك عهدا
و عقدنا العزم أن تحيا الجزائر
فاشهدوا... فاشهدوا... فاشهدوا...

صرخة الأوطان من ساح الفدا
فاسمعوها واستجيبوا للندا
و اكتبوها بدماء الشهدا
و اقرأوها لبني الجيل غدا
قد مددنا لك يا مجد يدا
و عقدنا العزم أن تحيا الجزائر
فاشهدوا... فاشهدوا... فاشهدوا...

We swear by the lightning that destroys,
By the virtuous and fragrant blood,
By the shining, fluttering banners,
In the steep and majestic mountains,
That we have risen to revolution in life or death
and we have resolved that Algeria shall live -
So bear witness, bear witness, bear witness!

We are soldiers in the name of righteousness have revolted
And for our independence to war have risen.
Had we not spoken up none would have listened
So we have taken the drum of gunpowder as our rhythm
And the sound of machine guns as our melody,
and we have resolved that Algeria shall live -
So bear witness, bear witness, bear witness!

O France, the time of reproach has passed
And we have closed like a book;
O France, the day of reckoning is at hand
So prepare to receive from us our answer!
In our revolution is the end of empty talk;
and we have resolved that Algeria shall live -
So bear witness, bear witness, bear witness!

From our heroes we shall make an army come to being,
and on our dead we build glory,
Our spirits shall ascend to immortality
And on our shoulders we shall raise the standard.
To the nation's Liberation Front we have sworn an oath,
and we have resolved that Algeria shall live -
So bare witness, bare witness, bare witness!

The cry of the Fatherland sounds from the battlefields.
Listen to it and heed 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,
and we have resolved that Algeria shall live -
So bear witness, bear witness, bear witness!

Nous jurons ! par les tempêtes dévastatrices abattues sur nous
Par le sang pur généreusement versé
Par les éclatants étendards flottants au vent
Sur les cimes altières de nos fières montagnes
Que nous nous sommes dressés pour la vie et la mort
Car Nous avons décidé que l'Algérie vivra
Soyez–en témoins! Soyez–en témoins! Soyez–en témoins!


Nous sommes des combattants pour le triomphe du droit
Pour notre indépendance, nous sommes entrés en guerre
Nul ne prêtant oreilles à nos revendications
Nous les avons scandées au rythme des canons
Et martelées à la cadence des mitrailleuses
Car Nous avons décidé que l'Algérie vivra
Soyez–en témoins! Soyez–en témoins! Soyez–en témoins!


Ô France ! le temps des palabres est révolu
Nous l'avons clos comme on ferme un livre
Ô France ! voici venu le jour où il te faut rendre des comptes
Prépare toi ! voici notre réponse
Le verdict, Notre Révolution le rendra
Car Nous avons décidé que l'Algérie vivra
Soyez–en témoins! Soyez–en témoins! Soyez–en témoins!


Nos Braves formeront les bataillons
Nos Dépouilles seront la rançon de notre gloire
Et nos vies celles de notre immortalité
Nous lèverons bien haut notre Drapeau au-dessus de nos têtes
Front de Libération Nous t'avons juré fidélité
Car Nous avons décidé que l'Algérie vivra
Soyez–en témoins! Soyez–en témoins! Soyez–en témoins!


Des Champs de bataille monte l'appel de la Patrie
Écoutez le et obtempérez !
Écrivez-le avec le sang des Martyrs !
et enseignez-le aux générations à venir !
Ô Gloire ! Vers toi Nous tendons la main !
Car Nous avons décidé que l'Algérie vivra
Soyez–en témoins! Soyez–en témoins! Soyez–en témoins!
