Walla Zaman Ya Selahy, Anthem of the United Arab Republic
Wallah Zaman Ya Selahy was the anthem of the United Arab Republic, when Egypt and Syria merged into 1 country from 1958 to 1961
This was a popular song during the Tripartite Aggression, it was a nationalist song performed by Umm Kulthum. Due to its strongly nationalist lyrics evoking national resistance, the song was played frequently on Egyptian radio during the war, sometimes as often as every 10 minutes.
English Lyrics:
The song starts out with music, then the chorus is played twice
CHORUS:
It has been a long time oh my weapon!
I long for you in my struggle!
Speak and say I am awake,
Oh war it has been a long time.
Then a woman begins singing...
It has been a long time for the soldiers,
Advancing with thunderous roar, x2
Swearing never to return,
Except with epoch-making victory.
Rise and close ranks,
With lives ready for sacrifice. x2
Oh! the horror that the enemy shall suffer,
From you in the fire of the battlefield!
CHORUS
Woman:
Oh! glory our glory,
You who was built by us, x2
By toil and pain,
By toil and pain,
Never to go to waste.
Rise and close ranks,
With lives ready for sacrifice! x2
Oh! the horror that the enemy shall suffer,
From you in the fire of the battlefield!
CHORUS
Woman:Who shall protect Free Egypt?
Men:We shall protect her with our weapons!
Woman:Land of the Revolution, who will sacrifice for her sake?
Men:We will, with our souls. x2
Woman:
The people advance like the light,
The people stand like mountains and seas,
Volcanoes of anger, volcanoes erupting,
Earthquakes digging the enemy into their graves! x2
CHORUS x2, but the woman sings with the men the second time
