National anthem of Sudan |
Nahnu Jund Allah Jund Al-Watan (Arabic: نحن جند الله جند الوطن) is the national anthem of Sudan.
Original (Arabic)
نحن جند الله جند الوطن *** إن دعا داعي الفداء لن نخــن
نتحدى الموت عند المحن *** نشترى المجد بأغلى ثمن
هذه الأرض لنا فليعش *** سوداننا علماً بين الأمم
يابني السودان هذا رمزكم *** يحمل العبء ويحمى أرضكم
Words
"We are the army of God and of our country,
We shall never fail when called to sacrifice.
We challenge death during hard times ,
We buy glory, at the dearest price.
This land is ours, may our Sudan live well known among all nations.
People of the Sudan this is your banner
It carries the burden and protects your land"
Note
The current national anthem of the Republic of the Sudan was originally the anthem of the Sudanese Armed Forces (prior to independence). As independence was so rushed, the leaders of Sudan at the time did not write a new national anthem and utilized the anthem of the Armed Forces. It is speculated that there is a new national anthem being created along with a new flag and a new national currency[citation needed]
