الوحدة للمرأة الليبية
بش العالم كله يعرف قيمتها و شنو قدّمت للثورة
لا ما نسيناكمش*
ربّي يعزّكم الله يحفظكم و يقوّيكم...الله يبارك فيكم
خلّي نبدأ بتحية كبيرة لأمهات الشهداء
اللي دمهم كان داخل الحرية ما يمشيش* أحباب
نمشاج على الله* من التريس و النساء
حاناش نهدروهم* كلهم يدلّ* الحياة
على الفكرة لا بدّ نقول كلمة للمجاهدات
اللي أقلّ حاجة داروها رفع المعنويات
ما تنساش فرا نسوينا ذكترو* صحفيات
بقيت* جهدهم ثمّ عندهم *بالساعات
الصبية و الشهور* الشعب هذا صبّور
رسول إليها *الظهور لنتاية و* تقوله
و شني تقوله انت اللي ما تبيش قلى* لا تتكلّم
لو كانها عندها ما تقدم بلادنا ما تزيد ولا *تتقدّم
ماهو تساهم في الحوار و هذه تساعد الثوّار
بحيث* ينور العالم ليبيا كلها الأحرار
و بيد واحدة كلنا همّنا *ما يضوع
لما نصلّو على الشهيد كلنا بنفس الدموع
Chorus (x2)
إلى المرأة الليبية ما حد يقدر يعرف جهدك و صبرك
تخذني بقلبك طول الليل و النهار
نبي نقولك رغم أنّك* ما تبي الشيء راني* مختار
من الجهد اللي قدّمتي يا آنسة الثوار
لما تخمّم* في ثائر بلكي في بالك في *دائية
في واحدة اسمها رحمة را* قصتها مش *عادية
طلعت هو من* اليوم من الثوار في طرابلس
يحكي لها قصّتهَ قال لي قالتهَ* ما تخافش
قاعدة تطلّع* في الأخبار في وسط المظاهرات
استمرّت بها الشكل انقطعت الاتّصالات
تسطى* بالقنوات وتو كلمات صحفيين
والله إلّا متى انتي شرّفت* الليبيّين
و شجاعة بناتنا الليبيات بشجاعتك
هلاتي* قداش من باب البلاد اللي من بعدك
بالله يشفوها هذه مش خايفة من الرصاص
تتكلم بالأطلاق حتى قدّام البصّاص
شادوها حبسوها على خطط تزوير
بعدين تقويها بقدر ربّي و جهد كبير
هذه المرأة الليبية اللي يبي شني تقدر تدير
اللي فعلا يفهم قيمتها؟ والله يحير

May the Libyan woman have unity
so that whole world may know her value and what she has given to the revolution.
No, we have not forgotten you.
May you be dear to God. May God preserve you and strengthen you. God bless you.
Let me begin with a big greeting to the mothers of the martyrs
whose blood was in the freedom __________ loved ones.
______________ among the women and the men,
*I will not neglect them - any of them - *for as long as I live.
Come to think of it, I must say a word to the female mujahideen.
Lifting the people's spirits is the *least* that they've done.
Don't forget our women. Remember the female journalists.
*_________ their struggle, then they have _______________*
*From the little girl and the old lady, Libyans are a patient people.
*The lady prays to the Prophet and she says it.*
*And what you said is not what she wants to say,*
*and if she didn't give us what she gave, our country would never improve or make progress.*
Because she participates in the discussion and she aids the revolutionary fighters,
*the world is enlightened about how all Libyans are free.
We're united. Our grief *is never lost.
When we pray for the martyrs, we all have the same tears.
CHORUS (x2)
To the Libyan woman: no one can know your effort and your patience.
You take me with your heart all day and all night.
I want to tell you *________________________,
from the effort that you put forth, Ms. Revolution!
When you _______ *a revolutionary perhaps in your mind there is a ______
There's one girl named Rahma and her story isn't ordinary.
She saw him one day among* the revolutionaries in Tripoli.
*He tells her his story - as he told me - and she told him,* "Don't be afraid."
*She still watches the news in the midst of the demonstrations.
*And she continues to spread the news even while the communication networks are cut.*
*She does interviews with satellite channels and inspires journalists' words.
I swear that you will always bring honor to the Libyan people.
And the courage of our Libyan daughters comes from your bravery.
*_______ how much from the door of the country that comes after you.
By God, they see how she's not afraid of bullets.
She *speaks her mind bravely even in front of the secret police's informants.
They kidnap her and imprison her *as part of their schemes and dirty tricks.
Yet even after that, she is strengthened by the grace of God and by the great struggle.
This Libyan woman - what more could anyone ever want her to do
if he truly understands her value? *God is what inspires her.
