The wretched of the earth have risen
O Lord - do not save the tyrants 

The hungry of the world are singing
The weak of the world are swinging
The oppressed of the world are smiling
O Lord - do not save the tyrants

O Lord - do not save the tyrants and
The brothers of the tyrants, and
The helpers of the tyrants,
The hypocrites who hail the tyrants,
O Lord - do not save the tyrants

O Lord - do not save the tyrants
From Maghrib to Iskandaria
From the Mediterranean to the Red Sea
From the Medina of Tunis to the Medina of the Prophet
O Lord - do not save the tyrants

O Lord - do not save the tyrants, and
Grant the wretched a scent of the freedom
Give the wretched a taste of dignity
Honor the wretched with crowns on their heads
O Lord - the wretched of the earth have risen
