Do not despair, my friend:
The light that shines on our land
will remain chaste.
We still have time.
Maybe next year, the year after-
it will be enough.
We will see
the new face of Eban
smiling over our lives.
This land is good
and its history teaches us
we must not despair.
This land is happy.
Look, see the girls
painting their cheeks?
This land is continuously giving birth.
Yemen is a happy country,
the people die standing tall:
they will not cower, will not surrender
their identity.
