English translation

O defenders of the Homeland!

Rally around to the glory of our time!

The blood surges in our veins,

We die for the sake of our land.

Let the heavens roar with thunder.

Let thunderbolts rain with fire.

Men and youth of Tunisia,

Rise up for her might and glory.

No place for traitors in Tunisia,

Only for those who defend her!

We live and die loyal to Tunisia,

A life of dignity and a death of glory.
