Lyrics used in the video:
Romanized Arabic with a English Translation:
Qasaman bi-n-nāzilāti l-māḥiqāt (We swear by the lightning that destroys,)
Wa-d-dimāʾi z-zākiyāti ṭ-ṭāhirāt (By the streams of generous blood being shed,)
Wa-l-bunūdi l-lāmiʿāti l-khāfiqāt (By the bright flags that wave,)
Fi-l-jibāli sh-shāmikhāti sh-shāhiqāt (Flying proudly on the high mountains)
Naḥnu thurnā fa-ḥayātun ʾaw mamāt (That we are in revolt, whether to live or to die,)
Wa-ʿaqadnā al-ʿazma ʾan taḥyā l-Jazāʾir (We are determined that Algeria should live,)
Fa-shhadū! Fa-shhadū! Fa-shhadū! (So be our witness -be our witness -be our witness!)
Arabic with a English Translation:
قسما بالنازلات الماحقات (We swear by the lightning that destroys,)
و الدماء الزاكيات الطاهرات (By the streams of generous blood being shed,)
و البنود اللامعات الخافقات (By the bright flags that wave,)
في الجبال الشامخات الشاهقات (Flying proudly on the high mountains)
نحن ثرنا فحياة أو ممات (That we are in revolt, whether to live or to die,)
و عقدنا العزم أن تحيا الجزائر (We are determined that Algeria should live,)
فاشهدوا… فاشهدوا… فاشهدوا (So be our witness -be our witness -be our witness!)
