No to Invaders, no to Dictators

No to Invaders, no to Dictators

An anthem to the Syrian people

By Tarif Youssef Agha

No to Invaders, no to Dictators

Our loyalty is only for the homeland

It is the human being who is the symbol of the homeland

Under the flag, we all are alike

Only the dignity is forever

Only freedom deserves to be sacrificed for

Let’s go to work

Let’s go to build

We ask the creator

To help us stay brothers

***

This is Syria, the men and women

This is Syria, the fountain of light

The land of civilization, the passage road of prophets

The heaven of free people, the cemetery of martyrs

The factory of heroes, the medal of bravery

The cradle of melody, the garden of poets

In it are my family and my friends

In it, I drew my dreams

To you my homeland

All the constancy, all the constancy
