We used to see no way out, only the dead end,
And the skies above us were gloomy and hope was long dead.
We had lost our identity and were wandering lifelessly.
We were silent...intimidated and engulfed in silence.
We were...and it was...but that was all in the past.
And on one glorious and green unprecedented morning
When we met in our honourable Egyptian square
And on one glorious and green unprecedented morning
When we met in our honourable Egyptian square
When we were surprised to remember that we love each other
And that we would die for each other
When we were surprised to remember that we love each other
And that we would die for each other
On that day, the Crescent and the Cross were one
The day our spirits were set aflame with the fire of change
And that was the beginning
The day the people changed...
They threw off their shackles and became the masters
We protested and cried out in objection...no more silence!
We are the Egyptians and our voice will be heard
The day the flaring flames of revolution swept Egypt
A revolution to free us, to determine our destiny, and to choose our leaders
We stood firm protesting, overthrowing, and expelling them out!
They disconnected our communications, and blinded our media
And poisoned our every breath...
That day the world prayed for us and watched in awe,
As we put away those who tyrannized and corrupted us,
And those who deceived us in their statements,
Revolution till Victory! Revolution in all the streets of Egypt!
By the blood of our martyrs,
By the determination of our youth, standing firm...
By the blood of our martyrs,
By the determination of our youth, standing firm, united, perseverant, resolved, glorious, and vowing...
Vowing to save our Egypt.
On that day the world stood in applause
And our Nile cried out in joy
When our oppressors surrendered to the will of the people,
When we knew that the free and honourable will rule our Egypt
Long Live Egypt!
