 CHORUS:
الجبل الغربي هيا يا جمالة
الجبل الغربي بوحده تتعالى
أياما سبقو من اجسام أياما شافو من أيام
ربّي ثبّت الأقدام وثابتة على ـــــ

ما عندي ولا فرق بين الشرق والغرب
اللي يدافع على أرضه عنده حق في الحرب
سواء انهَ كان من نالوت من القلعة من الزنتان
الأمازيغي في يفرن أو العربي في الرجبان
الرّياني اللي لقبه الشيناني كلنا نفس الكلام
لما يطيرو قوات القذافي نفس الأعلام
حتّى قدّام الشاشة ديما نفس الأعلام
Tamizight
نحن كلنا يد واحدة أياما يحاول يفتّن فينا
وقفة واحدة طلعة واحدة الشعب الليبي الله عينه
واللي يحراب فينا ويشتن فينا الله يحينه
واللي يقولك هذه فتنة فينا - شني دخلك فينا؟
ما يسمعو في الجبال إلا الرصاص والصياح
وانت مقمعز فيه مرفوع رجليك ومرتاح
مTamazight مش بعيد بنكتشفوه
برّا انت يعزم مسيقاك يا معمّر توا نجو

CHORUS:
الجبل الغربي هيا يا جمالة
الجبل الغربي بوحده تتعالى
أياما سبقو من اجسام أياما شافو من أيام
ربّي ثبّت الأقدام وثابتة على ـــــ

يفرن والله مش غريبة إليهم القتل
آخِر حاجة ألفين و ثمانية اللي يبي يدوّر على المثل
لما ينهضو ينهضو مرّة واحدة وانا لعيوني
ما توقع أقلّ من هيكي من احفاد الباروني
بنسبة لهم نفس الحاجة الدبابة والذوّ
ما يقدر يزعزعوه حتّى شعر في كاباو
نفس القصة في الرجبان نفس القصة في الزنتام
نفس القصة جيب لي جبل نفوسة في إي مكان
أراضيها اسمها وتُزرَع فيهم كرموس
وتُزرَع فيها التريس اللي يحاربو زي الوحوش
التيوس يبو يركبو الجبال ما يقدروش
تحسبوها سهلة ويعرفكم ما تعرفوش
شكون قبيلة الخبخبة؟ شكون الغراديّين؟
شكون الطاغية اللي معني؟ شكون مشوشيّين؟
مش بسارة لما ننقولوك ننتصر أو نموت
قول لللي توا على البوركانة جاي من الجبل تاع نالوت

CHORUS:
الجبل الغربي هيا يا جمالة
الجبل الغربي بوحده تتعالى
أياما سبقو من اجسام أياما شافو من أيام
ربّي ثبّت الأقدام وثابتة على ـــــ

من هذا الجبال حتمسح بنا؟ قول اللي تبي تقوله
أــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ راهو هنايا الرجولة
بنسبة لكلاب معمّر شني ما زال بتجونا؟
توا يصير فيكم زيما صار في معركة التَّحونة
بالله نبي وينكم يا ترهونة و غريان
اللي يموتو هذا أخوتكم كيف تقولهم جرذان؟
اللي يبي يفهم هالفتنة خلّي نوضّح الصورة
الفتوى جيت من الغرياني المصدَّق في تاجوراء
مالا نبي شني تقولو على الخطف والاغتصاب
بلكي ما تدركوش غير يفوت الدبّاب
ما فيش إلّا القردافي اللي نبو ننتقمو منه
لللي تدعي للنصر هذه أكيدة يا حنّى
أصلاً شني ما زال سنة مش بعيد من توا يطيح
يا ريت يجيبوه حيّ ونعدوه مليح
حنحاكموه ونشقروه ونحطّ رأسه في السونية
يقعد غير *الطاع زي الوادي الرومية

CHORUS:
الجبل الغربي هيا يا جمالة
الجبل الغربي بوحده تتعالى
أياما سبقو من اجسام أياما شافو من أيام
ربّي ثبّت الأقدام وثابتة على ـــــ

CHORUS:

The Western Mountains - oh how beautiful they are!
The Western Mountains - elevated in their unity!
How many bodies have gone before, how many days they have seen?
Lord, keep our feet fixed firm on the ground, firm on the ground.

To me, there's no difference between the East and the West [of Libya].
Whoever defends his land has the right to go to war.
Whether he's from Nalut, from Qal'a, or Zintan,
[Whether he's] the Amazigh [a.k.a. Berber] in Yifran or the Arab in Ar-Rujbaan.
The man from Ar-Riyayna whose last name is al-Sheebani  - it's all the same,
When they fight Gaddafi's forces they wave the same flags
Even on the screen [you see] always the same flags.
[Tamazight language]
We're all one hand. However much he tries to cause fitna among us.
(We) stand as one, fight as one, God is with the Libyan people.
And those who fight us, and insult us, God will humiliate them
and whoever tells you that this is fitna among us - what have you got to do with it?
In the mountains they hear nothing but bullets and screams
And you are sitting in your sitting room, with your feet up, relaxed.
[Tamazight language]...we'll find you soon!
Go on, you go play your music for Muammar, we'll come for you.

CHORUS:
The Western Mountains - oh how beautiful they are!
The Western Mountains - elevated in their unity!
How many bodies have gone before, how many days they have seen?
Lord, keep our feet fixed firm on the ground, firm on the ground.

Yifran, you say, they are no strangers to death.
The last time was in 2008, if you want to look for examples.
When they rise up, they rise up as one
and I for my eyes don't expect less from the grandhchildren of Al Barouni
As far as they are concerned, the tank and the rifle are the same thing
They can't unsettle/frighten even one hair in Kabaw
It's the same story in Ar-Rujbaan. It's the same story in Zintan.
It's the same story - give me any place in the Nafusa Mountains!
Their lands are beautiful and planted with figs.
And they also grow real men who fight like beasts.
The fools wanted to climb the Nafusa Mountains but couldn't!
You thought it was easy...we know you don't know.
Who is the Bkhabkha tribe? Who are the Gradiyeen?
Who are the Taghma and the Maani? Who are the Mshushiyen?
It's no joke when they tell you, "We win or we die."
Tell it to anyone now who's on the volcano that's come from the mountains of Nalut!

CHORUS:
The Western Mountains - oh how beautiful they are!
The Western Mountains - elevated in their unity!
How many bodies have gone before, how many days they have seen?
Lord, keep our feet fixed firm on the ground, firm on the ground.

You think you'll wipe us out from these mountains? Say what you will.
Stop dreaming. This is where courage is.
As for as Muammar's dogs are concerned, what, are you still thinking of coming for us?
What will happen to you will be the same as what happened in the "tahuna battle."
By God, I want [to know] where you are, Tarhuna and Gharyan.
Those who die - these are your brothers. How can you call them rats?
Whoever wants to understand this as "fitna," let me clarify the picture.
The fatwa came from [Sadeq] al-Gharyani in Tajoura.
So I want [to know] what you say about kidnapping and rape.
Maybe you don't know, just  wait till the fog clears
It is only Gaddafi we want revenge from
To those who pray for our victory, this is certain
How many years can this go on, it is not long now, and he will fall
I wish they would bring him alive
and we would execute him properly, put him on trial and hang him and put his head in a bowl
and he'll be just a headless body like the Roman statues

CHORUS:
The Western Mountains - oh how beautiful they are!
The Western Mountains - elevated in their unity!
How many bodies have gone before, how many days they have seen?
Lord, keep our feet fixed firm on the ground, firm on the ground.

CHORUS (x2)
مبروك الحريّة يا بلادي الحبيبة
نتمنّى ديما فرحة تزيد منشوفك كل يوم في عيد

هذه اللحظة اللي كلنا ننستنّو فيها
اللي كلنا نتمنّو فيها هذه الفرحة مش عادية
فيش جنازة على اللي خزّيه. ارقصو وغنّو!
اللي يبوش ــــــــــــــــــ خلّيهم ـــــــــ
ــــــــــ هم الكلاب اللي قاعد تماعه
تمّت للشفشوفة تبيه ولا لا
في ميدان الشهداء العلم مرفوع عالي
والعباد كلها تغنّي تعالى في العالي
والله ما عادي الشعور يا ناس
الاحساس هذا مــــــــ بين قلوب الناس
والله ياسر للعناد ياسر للفساد
يا سيطر وياسر للرصاص يا اولاد

CHORUS (x2)
مبروك الحريّة يا بلادي الحبيبة
نتمنّى ديما فرحة تزيد منشوفك كل يوم في عيد

تبي تقول لي كلمة ولا كلمتين؟ قول عشرة
اللي تقولها كلها ما يجي إلا الطشعة
في قصة الدوى لي عندي فيها الخبرة
لقينا هذه را ما فيش فيها العبرة
اطلع توا وقول اللي تبيه بصوت عالي
بلكي تبي تقعد ساكت حتّى هيكي باهي
ما فيش داعي تعقد لهي بالثاني
بالله تبي تقعد وـــــ عليه؟ عادي صبّ الشاي
يا رأيت يا شفشوفة؟ الشعب الليبي اخوة
الشعب قال كلمته: موت يا طاغوت!
خلّيني نشمّ الحلوة توا ـــــــ مرأة توا
بنبو بلاد نقدرو نربّو فيه ضغار توا

CHORUS (x4)
مبروك الحريّة يا بلادي الحبيبة
نتمنّى ديما فرحة تزيد منشوفك كل يوم في عيد

Congratulations for the victory. God is greater! May you all be well every year.
Mnawreen [Welcome, lit. you have brought light with you]

CHORUS (x2)
Congratulations on the freedom, my beloved country!
I wish that the happiness always increases and I see you having a holiday every day!

Yes, this the moment we've all been waiting for,
that we've all wished for. This happiness is extraordinary!
There's no funeral for the one who has shamed himself [Gaddafi]. "Sing and dance!" [he said].
So we will! As for those who want to weep and wail, let them!
The dogs who are still with him.
It's finished for Shafshoofa [Gaddafi] whether you want it to be or not!
In Martyrs' Square [in Tripoli], the [Independence] Flag is raised high
and all the people are singing "Rise Up Higher" [a revolutionary song].
By God, the feeling is extraordinary, people.
This feeling is binding the hearts of the people together.
By God, enough stubbornness! Enough corruption!
And enough with the bullets, guys!

CHORUS (x2)
Congratulations on the freedom, my beloved country!
I wish that the happiness always increases and I see you having a holiday every day!

You want to tell me one word or two words? Say ten!
Everything you want to say is only a drop in the ocean
in the bowl of talk. I have experience with it.
As for this, there are no metaphors here.
Get out now and say what you want in a loud voice.
Or maybe you want to stay quiet - even that is okay!
There's no need to watch what you say.
Or do you want to stay and talk to me? Fine, pour the tea.
Now do you see, Shafshufa [Gaddafi]? The Libyan people are siblings!
The people said their word: "Die, you tyrant!"
Now I can smell freedom. Now I can marry.
And we want a country we can raise our children in.

CHORUS (x4)
Congratulations on the freedom, my beloved country!
I wish that the happiness always increases and I see you having a holiday every day!

IBN THABIT:
اسمع...اللي يحسبه سهل يسرق ثورتنا، دير في باله راهو جوّه    ما تقدرش تمشي علينا

نبيك ترجع قبل الثورة - تتذكّر كيف كنت تتفكّر؟
لما تشبح كنت الغلط غير فمّك كان مسكرّ؟
توا ليهم السنين كل السبت الاهالي طالعين
مظاهرات أمّهات صحايا ابو سليم
أعطي روحك الصراحة مش لازم تقولها لحدّ
قدّاش مرّات تسبّ في الدين من السبت إلى الأحد؟
ولسانك هذا نفسك كم مرّة تستغفر وتتوب؟
وأوّلما يحسّ بالعفصة اللي يسبّس في القلوب
اللي يبي حتنجح الثورة يبدأ بروحه
مش زي اللي يطلع في الإذاعة بش يخاطب من الدوحة
ما فيش زي اللي يعيش في الواقع *على منحيش
من وُلِدَت نفرّغ في صدري زي *شيشما
بلكي سوء النوايا لكن اللي يبي يطلع في الصورة
على طول نشكّ فيك خلّيه يتعلّم مشورى
توا فتنا مرحلة الخوف ومن الموت ولا؟
وكل واحد توا ولا عنده صوت ولا؟
ماهو العدو الجديد السكوت والهدوء
على الإجرام اللي ساكت في وجه الظلم راهو حرام
توا حلم الشيطان انّه ما يتغيّر فينا شيء
أكثر حاجة حنحاربها وانا ما دام وقاعد حيّ

 MC SWAT:
كان ما عندك في الثورة ولا تركّز لايش تسمع فيَّ؟ يا اخوي
بس تحرّك في رأسك على الفاضي مش فاهم لا شيء
تعرف النية؟ اسمع ـــــــــــــ ركّز دو على شيء مكتوب
ولد الثورة من بنغازي نغنّي قلبي كان مغلوب
ـــــــ انا نعبّر الثوّار نكبّر صوتي فيهم واضح
وسطهم ـــــــ مكتب و صوتي عالي ما اني راضخ
لأي ضغوط كان نحرّك الشعب مظبوط
من الجبهة الشرقية و للغربية عندي فيهم أصول
بنغازي و طرابلس تلاقى في شخص ودّاد بشاكن
لو عندك ليبي يحارب من بنغازي في طرابلس ساكن
عندي دوى نحكيها مش محتاج المنبر
مش محتاج إلا الميك والورقة والقلم والسنتر
مش نقدر نحكي وشدّك مش نقدر نصولها عندك
مش نقدر حتّى معلومة في رأسك وما تقول اللي ما قلتلك
أنه الثورة سرقت منّ اللي داروها والشعب راقد
اخوي يعرف انه الوضع الحالي لونه غامض

IBN THABIT:
توا نعرف الجواب للسؤال اللي سألتوه
هل سوف الشعب الليبي يحارب العدو؟
قلت لك نعرف الإجابة للسؤال اللي طرحوه
هل سوف الشعب الليبي يحارب العدو؟
سألوني هل سوف الشعب الليبي يحارب العدو؟
لللي قبل شكّك في الأسود راهم يجؤو
سألوني هل سوف الشعب الليبي يحارب العدو؟
لللي قبل شكّك في الأسود راهم يجؤو

تبي تتكلّم عليَّ عادي ردّيته لثلاث سنين
ونعود في نفسه تسكن عيد في أربعة ثلاثة اثنين
واحد لحد اللي ديما قلتهم حافظ على الغاية
وقف ونزلو جنبي شظايا انا في رايّا
كانها جديّات بنبو ولا نخوط
كل واحد فينا طاحت راهم الطاغوت
 في جبهة كوط قلب نبي نعرف شنو شارع القانون
لما العباد نبدأ طالع في القرون ربّي سمحكم
أوّلما حطيتها الاغنية ديما تتفخّر
مش نتفكّر ثلاث السنين الأخيرة كوخّى
كانه واحد يلقي عليك القرشات الهبل
وتقدمك ديدك رجاني اللي ما قبل
هكي تبوه يخوط اكيد لا
مع المستوى المطلوبة ما زلت بعيدة
شني اللي ناقص الله و مسؤول العلماء
مش بعيد نفس التريس والعملاء

MC SWAT:
شني اللي قتل فينا حقوق يضرب الابهاد
شني اللي ما كانها من ثاني رغمها من ذهب
هذول الحد اللي يقوللي فيماهوش ام الراهي
هاي ذه من هاي دممهار لأنهم مش معروف لا شي
الوضع ايا صوت قلبك فين ادرج شوت اضرب بخب
فم حارة ليبي هيكي صومالي في تراكب
انتو ضرفي ها عناد رغمك ليبي تحسبه
أكثر من حد يلقيه باقي دولة اللي زادت
فياة ضايعة ايطاليا و فرادي في قطر
بالإعلام الفاجئ الوضع حسم مهم
لذلك مهم أنك تعرف مراحل خطر
خلّي بالك ان الشعب الليبي حيحفظ على قتر
لقيتلك اخوي لازم تعرف من عدوك اللي معك
من اللي ضدّك لو كانه رضك عدلك و الاكتثار
انت دراسة فيها الرجل من اللي متارسى
نسكف ستاورة الدورة يا ريت كراية في رأسه
الله اكثر حفّظ اللي مان قدنا بنا قدّام
في راية واحدة لازم ينزلو شي كان دوره الإسلام
توا رقمه من المكان ضد الطاغية ضدّ المجال
الشعب كلمة واحدة وهي كلمة تحتظار
وانا توا عارف الجواب للسؤال اللي سألتوه
هل سوف الشعب الليبي يحارب العدو؟
انا قلت لك عارف الجواب للسؤال اللي سألتوه
هل سوف الشعب الليبي يحارب العدو؟

IBN THABIT:
مش قلت لك سألوني هل سوف الشعب الليبي يحارب العدو؟
لللي قبل شكّك في الأسود راهم يجؤو
سألوني هل سوف الشعب الليبي يحارب العدو؟
لللي قبل شكّك في الأسود راهم يجؤو

What you just heard was two of Libya's livest live in Tripoli

letting everyone know nobody's getting off easy.

في واحدين الصبى ما قدّمو شي للثورة
و قول للهم نورين من دوروكم
تحياتي

IBN THABIT:
Listen. Whoever thinks it will be easy to steal our revolution, keep in mind that you will not be able to hoodwink us with the same tricks.

I want you to go back to before the revolution. Remember how you would think?
When you saw wrongdoing, why was your mouth shut?
Now every Saturday, for many years, the families would go out
in the demonstrations for the mothers of the victims of Abu Sleem.
Give yourself the truth, at least. You don't need to confess it to anyone [else].
How many times did you curse religion from Saturday until Sunday?
And this same tongue of yours, how many times did you seek forgiveness with it?
And as soon as this guy feels oppressed, he returns to being the guy who smokes up.
If you want the revolution to succeed, begin with yourself,
unlike those who go on TV to give their speeches from Doha.
There's no one like those who live the reality on the ground. I'm ___________
Since I was born, I've been letting out what's in my heart like a faucet.
Maybe it's wrong to doubt people's intentions, but anyone who wants to appear "in the picture."
I immediately doubt him. Let him learn to consult others first.
Now we've passed through the time of fear and death, right?
And now everyone has a voice, right?
Then the new enemy is silence and quiet
about the crimes of the past. Whoever is silent in the face of oppression, this is a crime!
Now, Satan's dream is that nothing inside us changes.
It's the thing I'll fight against the most for as long as I live.

MC SWAT:
If you're not with the revolution, not concentrating, why are you listening to me?
Brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you nodding your head in vain without understanding anything?
Listen to the way I speak, concentrate on the words and what is written:
[I'm] a son of the revolution from Benghazi and I sing when my heart is on fire from frustration
My voice is my megaphone, loud and clear.
It reaches the arrogant. My voice is loud and I will not be suppressed
by any pressure until I stir the people
from the East to the West (and I have origins there!).
Benghazi and Tripoli have met in one person
and you know what to do if a free Libyan calls you from Benghazi and you live in Tripoli.
I have words I want to say and I don't need a podium.
All I need is a mic, paper, a pen, and the [recording] center
to speak to you and grab your attention, to reach you
to plant the idea in your mind. Don't say I didn't tell you
that the revolution has been stolen from those who created it while the people sleep.
Brother, let's open our eyes and recognize that the current situation is a dark mystery.

IBN THABIT
Now I know the answer to the question you asked.
"Will the Libyan people fight the enemy?"
I told you that I know the answer to the question they asked.
"Will the Libyan people fight the enemy?"
They asked me, "Will the Libyan people fight the enemy?"
To those who were doubting the lions, here they are!
They asked me, "Will the Libyan people fight the enemy?"
To those who were doubting the lions, here they are!

You want to speak about me? That's fine. I've been repeating all this for three years
and you'll notice that I always kept the cause in mind.
I'm one who, by himself, was always telling them to preserve the goal,
standing as the shrapnel rained down around me. This is what I think:
if we are serious we need to be brothers
and every one of us must cleanse ourselves from tyranny
At the front of Kut, I wanted to know what the law would say
when people start to "grow their horns." God forgive you!
As soon as he puts his hand on the loot he captured, it disappeared!
Does this not remind you of the mess of recent years? Just rewind.
If someone hangs up all the money for you on a line
and you reach your hand out to take it, then we've gone back to the old days.
Is this how you want it my brothers? Of course not.
Then we still have a long way to go to reach the required level.
What is missing? God knows. Ask the analysts.
It won't be long before we divide the men from [Gaddafi's] agents.

MC SWAT:
What is it that killed the fear in us? Made us rise up and demand our rights?
What is that can plant the fear back in us again, despite what we've been through?
Those who speak to us pay no attention to this.
Either supporter or opponent, or someone who can't be pinned down either way.
wandering between the walls in a daze.
The Libyan's situation has become like Somalia's situation: we are in waiting.
Waiting for aid, despite the fact that in the Libyan accounts,
there is more than the debt to the World Bank.
And what's more, the money is being wasted between the bars of Italy and the hotels of Qatar
And the media is a failure, and the situation is critical.
This is why it is important that you know you are in a dangerous stage.
Keep in mind that the Libyan people are still looking for their hero.
I told you brother you must know your enemy from your ally from your opponent.
If your mind returns you back to the past,
we could do a study of when it was clear who was a man and who was a fake.
They picked up weapons and they raised their banner
and engraved in their minds was God is great, this was what moved us forward.
The banner is one, we can not forget what role Islam played.
The revolution was against the unbeliever, the tyrant, against the one who said
the nation is one word - and that word was an insult!

And now I know the answer to the question you asked:
"Will the Libyan people fight the enemy?"
I told you now I know the answer to the question you asked:
"Will the Libyan people fight the enemy?"

IBN THABIT:
Didn't I tell you they asked me "Will the Libyan people fight the enemy?"
Those who doubted the lions, here they are!
They asked me "Will the Libyan people fight the enemy?"
Those who doubted the lions, here they are!

What you just heard was two of Libya's livest live in Tripoli
letting everyone know that nobody's getting off easy.
There are thieves around who sacrificed nothing for the revolution.
Tell them welcome! Know that we will be looking for you.
My salutations.

ليبيا أغنية حب ابن ثابت ٢٠١١
فنرجع راهو صعبة من الواحد يحكم على قلبه
مهما ييقالوا الناس عليّا رانا نحبك هلبة
نضحيلك ايديّا نشوف منّك ابتسام
مش حتضرب اللي ما فيها والله مش غير الكلام
دموع من عينك يسبّب عاصفة في قلبي
ما أنا حتى نهم يطرح عليك سؤال سلبي
أنتي في دمي في عرقي همك هو همي
لما نقعد بش نكتب لك اتحرك روح قلمي

CHORUS (x2)
يولى من حبي ليك
ياواني من حبي ليك
ما فيش زيها في العالم
بلادي أحبك من الَأمكان في العالم

في حرارة الصيف انتاك و نشوف السماء
حتى في صقع في الشتاء عيونك اللي تجيب الدفء
شكون هذول اللي زمات يحبوك
غير يبؤو الأ مصالح و ـــــــــــــــــــ
نحبك عيوني انا ما نبئي منك شي
ما نبئي الأ نعطيك كل عندي ما قاعد نحي
شنو تببي ندير يا بعيشي عيون
حربي حبرك ــــــــــــــــ
ليبيا
CHORUS (x2)
ان شاء الله بالضحر كل الصورة
توقعت البيس لي اللي ما نرجع لترهونة
لكن عالي على قلبي كلام رسمي حب كبير 

"Libya: A Love Song." Ibn Thabit, 2011.
__________ It’s difficult for one to control his heart.
Whatever people say about me, _______ I love you so much [Libya].
I’d sacrifice my hands to see a smile from you.
______________By God, this is not just talk.
A tear from your eye creates a storm in my heart.
I can’t stand even a negative question directed at you.
You are in my blood and my veins. Your sorrow is my sorrow.
When I write to you, the pen moves by itself.

CHORUS

There is nowhere like you in the world.
My country, best place in the world,

In the heat of the summer I lie back and look up at the sky.
Even in the cold in the winter your eyes bring the warmth to me
Who are these people who pretend to love you?
They only want favors. They dance for their master.
Love of my life, I want nothing from you,
I want to give you all I have, as long as live.
What else do you want me to do?
this is my war _____

I hope this clarifies the picture,
I know people will have accusations for me,

هيّا بنغازي
نقوا الأخيرة مش سادنا
نديرو واحدة جديدة شنو منها الكلام لاعوش
بنغازي Part II

بنغازي يا بنغازي انتي قاعدة على انساني
توا الدنيا كلها تعرف المقاصد والمعاني
ماهو قلت شبابها تريس نقاش مافيش
من البديمة من السلماني كمان في الكيش

كلنا نحبو بلادنا الليبيّين ما فينا فرق
وأكثر من قبل الحبّ اللي بين الغرب والشرق
نحن كلنا جهة واحدة لحمة واحدة عائلة واحدة
ما يجوعش حد ايّ في بنغازي حتّى ليلة واحدة
يعرف اللي يجيها مش مهمّ وينما يجيها
من أوّل نحن القيدة قلّت منها الهمجية
طيّش فيها بلطجية هيّا نعرفو شني بتقول لي
التريس اللي في بنغازي مش خائفين من هذولي
أعطوهم على رؤوسهم الكتائب اللي يجو
وأوّل روح فيهم الشهيد مهدي الزيو
بالعكالة جلاتين خشّ كتيبة الفضيل
والباقي للباقي خشّو عليهم زي مهابيل
مش أوّل مرّة اللي قلّبوها - ما في ٢٠٠٦؟
قلّبو الدنيا كلها فتنا الفتنة من الفتنة
الفرق في المرّة هذه الحرّية تنبح وتنادي
لكن مش متغيّرة ولا نقطة في المبادء
الاسباب قاعدين نفسهم الشباب قاعدين نفسهم
أمهات ضحايا ابو سليم قاعدين نفسهم
الفرق لو كان في الشعب كلهم صبّي
وطبعاً نحن نقبلو اللي يكتب لنا ربّي

بنغازي يا بنغازي انتي قاعدة على انساني
توا الدنيا كلها تعرف المقاصد والمعاني
ماهو قلت شبابها التريس - نقاش مافيش
من البابسي للعشرين وسيدي غريبيش

التريس في بنغازي هم معنى الشجاعة
أوّلما يسمعو بحاجة اعطيهم أقَلّ من ساعة
الآف رافعين الشهداء على اكتافهم
كانو عزل! الصبر والإيمان سلاحهم
الله يعزّ اللي يجاهدو بالأموال والنفوس
مش معقول نقولها من غير نذكّر محمد نبوس!
حطّه في أصعب موقف ويعرف كيف يتصرّف
جيب اللي يهتف القيدة هو ما يعرف إلا يخرّف
في واحد ما تنسوش را عندي عرق شرقاوي
من أوّل ــــــــ كان خالد ادريس المسماري
يا ناري تبوط أولى وكلها مسجونين
يا فتحي راهو قاعد تجري قصية ابو سليم
الحرّية مش رخيصة - تبي ضمان؟
تبي التريس بش يتأكّد ما يمشيش ـــــــــ
هذه حاجة والله اللي ما اني خائف عليه
ننتصر أو نموت قالت حتّى بنية صغيرة
بعضنا لعبة نديرو حفلة في خيالي ومش بعيد
هذه حاجة واثقة مية مية شي أكيد
بش يلاقي باقي كل تأخيرة فيها خيرة
بنغازي ما فيش ثورة من غيرها

بنغازي يا بنغازي انتي ديما على انساني
مستحيل ننساها و نتمنّى ما تنساني
فتيل* المدينة تلحق أولادها ديما مهبال
عندهم إي مشاكلهم و قاعدين أولاد أحلال

بنغازي يا بنغازي انتي ديما على انساني
مستحيل ننساها و نتمنّى ما تنساني
فتيل* المدينة تلحق أولادها ديما مهبال
عندهم إي مشاكلهم و قاعدين أولاد أحلال

صحيت
خير

Hey, Benghazi
The last song wasn't enough.
We're making a new one and there'll be no loose talk in this.
Benghazi, Part II

CHORUS
Benghazi, O Benghazi, you're still on my mind.
Now the whole world will know what we're aiming for and what we mean.
As I said her youth are real men, without discussion.
From Budima to Silmani to El Keesh [Benghazi neighborhoods]

We all love our country, all Libyans, there are no differences.
And, even more than before, love is what's between the West and the East [of Libya].
We're all one front, one flesh, one family
The stranger in Benghazi will not go hungry - even for one night!
He knows that when he comes here, it's not important what direction he comes from [everyone is welcome regardless of where he comes from]
As soon as Gaddafi was removed from Benghazi, the chaos that was there lessened.
He let loose the thugs in it and I know what you will say to me
The men in Benghazi aren't afraid of them
They fought back the battalions as soon as they came
And the first of them was the martyr Mehdi Zio
With jalateena bombs he went into the Fadeel Barracks
And the rest of them who broke into the barracks like madmen!
This is not the first time, remember 2006 [when Benghazi demonstrators were mowed down by police when they tried to storm the Italian Embassy]
They turned the world upside down and forgot about the crowd of "let's avoid fitna/trouble"
The difference is this time freedom is calling out to us
But not one bit of the principles have changed.
The causes are still the same. The youth are still the same.
The mothers of Abu Sliim are still the same.
The difference if there is one is that the whole nation is standing up
And of course we accept what our Lord has written for us [ie fate]

CHORUS
Benghazi, O Benghazi, you're still on my mind.
Now the whole world will know what we're aiming for and what we mean.
As I said her youth are real men, without discussion.
From Pepsi to 'Ashreen to Sidi Ghraybeesh [Benghazi neighborhoods]

The men in Benghazi are the definition of courage.
As soon as they hear about something, give them less than an hour [and they'll have responded]
Thousands are hoisting the martyrs onto their shoulders.
They were unarmed. Patience and faith were their weapons.
God grants dignity to those who struggle with their property and their souls.
It's not possible that I saw this without remembering Mohammed Nabbous!
Put him in the most difficult situation and he knows how to behave.
While the one who chants for Gaddafi is the kind who only knows how to spin lies.
There is someone you should not forget, since I have an Eastern vein [ie partly eastern blood]
Among the first, there was my cousin Idris al-Mismari [arrested as he spoke live on the phone to Al Jazeera]
They caught him, and all the prisoners
O Fathi [Terbil], the case of [the families of the victims of] Abu Sleem is still running
Freedom isn't cheap. You need people with a conscious.
You need men to ensure that it's not in vain.
This is something, I swear, that I'm not afraid for.
"We are victorious or we die," even the little girls say it.
We will celebrate, and it's not far away
Tthis is something I'm 100% confident in. It's something certain.
Soon the rest of the cities will catch up, "each delay has a good reason" [proverb]
Benghazi, I swear there's no revolution without her.

CHORUS
Benghazi, O Benghazi, you're still on my mind.
It's impossible for me to forget you and I hope that you don't forget me.
If you know the city, you know her children are always "crazy"
They like their problems, and they remain righteous people

Benghazi, O Benghazi, you're still on my mind.
It's impossible for me to forget you and I hope that you don't forget me.
If you know the city, you know her children are always "crazy"
They like their problems, and they remain righteous people
Saheit [Cheers/Well done]
Kheir [How's things/What's up]

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

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

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.

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!

من لوّة* تعرفوني ديما نقولها زيما هي
مش ليهم معمّر القذاذفة *راطية
هذا ميئة في الميئة يهود جدوده
غير أن هو أشرّ من فرعون و جنوده
الشعب قاعد كلمته و رأيتو غضبه
مصيب بالعظمة في الجيب في المرتزقة
في قتل شعبه الليبي ما يدعش
الدم واصل للركب في طريق ١٦
من قبل هدّدونا بقتل عدد خيالي
ما فيش خوف من الموت لما يغتصبو في الأهالي
انتقام في القذافي بنسبة لي شيء إجبالي
في بالي انا ندافع عن العربي و الجبالي
اولاد بلادي بالله عليكم اسمعو لي باهي
يبي الفتنة فينا القيدة يمشي فيها شيء مش *لاحي
إن شاء الله واحد لقبه القذافي عادي يثور معنا
خلّي بالك من إنسانك لما تجيب تدور معنا
السرتاوي حتّى هو اخونا شني بتلومه؟
ما جتنا الفتنة إلّا من الحكومة
واحد يتصرف بالحكمة غير ما يغلط في اخوه
الصادشين بالتأكيد مش بعيد *نزبثوه
قاعدين يدورو في الشوارع بالأسلحة حيقول عليش؟
مش غير هيكي يبدؤو الفكرة* في الشباب من أحياء
هم يخوش* المستشفيات بش يقتلو المصاب
هذا اللي يهمهم الكبير* أن يكون يصاب
ما يعرفوش الإسلام ولا الوطن هذول شياطين
يقتلو البرئ زيما دارو في ابو سليم
السنين هذه كلهم راهو وجوههم معروفين
مش بعيد يذوقو غضب الملايين

هذول الكلاب اللي ياكلو في الكلاب مين يجيبهم؟
خميس فرخة إبليس و شوف شنو سبابهم
عدوهم* كلهم موابيت بشاشيش *السكيولو
و العقيد فيهم شرير الجندي شنو يدير؟
ينهو منهم ضميرهم بش يديرو اللي يبوه
واللي يرفض الأوامر هو أكيد يحرقوه
قصدي هذا كلام رسمي ما فيش تزويد
نشوفوه فيها مستحيل راهو هذا شيء أكيد
من زبالة الخبر مش جديد منعرفو
وهو يشوف الصور حتّى الساية* يقتلوها
هذول فقدو الإنسانية يقتلو في الشعب
ربّهم القذافي فغيظهم على الشعب
قالولك اللي ما يبيش معمر ليموت
فتخيّل شني يتخيّل اللي يتبع في الطاغوت
مش مهم بنسبة لهم لما يخوشو على الدار
الأشرار هذول يقتلو العزائج و الأصغار
مش بسارة ننحاربو في وحوش الشيطان
كتائب القذافي هم جيوش الشيطان
اللي يقولولك " لأ " ما يفهموش الشيطان
القذافي راح يعطي الدروس للشيطان
زي فروخه مربّيهم في حجرة الشرّ
جاي دورك يا سيف جرّب مياة الأبحار
هذا المحيط اللي قبل تحسبها مالك شكون؟
تعرف كيف تلوم ان شاء الله تعرف كيف تعوم
زعمتك تعرف الشؤون رغب بنبو حاجة وحيدة
الشعب الليبي كله يبي يركب تاكسي الجديدة
شنو يا حميدة لَنْنحدّو على باب العزيزية؟
أيه عادي غير سيبني الحبوب و مية مية!

الزمان كان وقت الاستسلام الآن *يامان
خلّي الشعب الليبي وراءكم شكون الجرذان
شكون الجبان شكون اللي يبي *سبّان
قصدي شكون اللجنة بنسبّو فيها قاعدين في كل أمكان
شكون القاق اللي قال عائشين في الأمن
نبي الوقت هذا كله وين حقوق الإنسان؟ وين؟
أيام من الأيام و انا نحارب باللسان *يامان
قلت القيدة راه يحارب في الإسلام؟
انا سمعت طاعة الوالي على الأمير لكن مش معمّر
كلنا كلنا نعرفو هو ما يعرف إلا الدمار
حارة* أحرّ في دراح& اللي يوقف من وراء
زي اللي *حشات قاعد لقرطس في *الخرأة
ترا* جيب الورأ كينا* نبي ننظّف المدينة
من الأشكال اللي يعبد، في معمر يلعن
قتله ولا ما قتلهش عندي كلمات رجال
كلام الحق للسلطان الجاهل من أحسن الأعمال
في اثنين و عربعين سبب مش غير منّي انا
شنو؟ احنا اللي طلبو الحظر الجوي في السماء
عندي كلمة للّي من برّا اللي ما يبوهَش
النفط اللي في بلادنا توا ما تمسوهَش
اُتركو منه أنتو يا مجوّي* المؤامرات
ليبيا فيها حروب مش غير مظاهرات
اللي ما يوقفش معنا يمشي يسكّر فمه الخير
من قبل حتى ما نثورو الشعب عايش ماردا
وانتو ولا كلمة ولا تصدقو في كلامه
وحلف مع الأمركان و رعمته يحارب في أسامة
تحسبونا ما ندروش راهو الشعب الليبي واعي
اللي زعمته يعلّمنا نعطو هذا بالكراي 
نبي نحسن الفاضي لكن مش فاضي للتيوس
اللي يحسبو انهم يفهمو لكن ما يفهموش
أحسن للّي يسكّر فمه و هذا يقعد في مكانه
يطعطع* من ابوكو* ولا توقف في معنا
اللي ما يسمعش من قبل ما نقبلوش الاستعمار
احنا احفاد رمضان السواحلي و عمر المختار
يحتلّو عيونهم هذا علم الاستقلال
إشارة رافضان محاولة الاستغلال
اسمع يا ولد الهلال الشعب الليبي في الإهبال
معروف من الصحراء للمحيط للجبال
مش جيل احنا اجيال ارجع للتأريخ 
اللي يبي قناعة على جرب منّا *تفجيخ
و نسويننا والله أقوى منهم ما فيش
على جهدهم و شرفهم ليبيا تعيش
في ليبيا الأمّهات يربّو في التريس
اللي ينصبو و يصلّو و بعدان يحارب في الإبليس
سلاحهم الإسلام الإيمان والقرآن
قوّات القذافي عباد الشيطان
ما تستش * تقول حرام على الإجرام اللي يديرو فيه
ما فيش إلا لغة واحدة اللي هم يحترمو فيه
الخي * ما يعرفوش حتى يدفنو مواتنا - لا
و يغتصبو بناتنا و اخواتنا 
الصبر يا إيمان النصر ان شاء الله قريب
هذه عندي شيء أكيد زي ما نسلّي الحبيب
العقيد بنشدّوه من ذيله *يا والا
جاي حتى انا ان شاء الله خير يا عائلة
بالحبوب يثورو لازم يطعطع
بصوت واضح زمان ذحرتهم* دار* فرماطه
طرابلس طبرق بنغازي مصراتة
حرقو الفلاق* اهربو لملطا
ليها سنتين *نعطيها بفيها* قديمة
ابن ثابت داونلود على النات الأغنية اسمها ديما
يا القذافي نبي وينك غير خلّيه بيني بينك 
ما نبيكش تموت غير تشوف الثوار بعينك
بعدين نبيك ترفع يديك * يا الصقر الوحيد
شني تبي تطير ايوا؟ زيد حتى زيد
اليوم اللي تموت فيه حعندي روح عيد جديد
مش بعيد في جهنّم حتكون انت الوقيد
معك صغارك كل الخلايق اللي زعمته يحبوك
اثنين وعربعين عام بعدما تموت حنسبّوك
و بعد اللي نشوفو تديره هذا شيء أكيد
مالا *مش غير أسود راهوه يا* العقيد
قلته من قبل خليني نعود من جديد
المجاهدين في الطريق و النصر والله قريب
حتّى من غير السلاح الشعب الليبي عنده أكتاف
تقتل منّا العشرة ولا حتى عشر الآف
حتى العلماء محللين قطع رأسك
وانا والله محلل قطع رؤوس البصّاصة

_____You know me. I always tell it like it is.
Muammar is not theirs - the Qadadfa are faithful.
This is 100%. His grandparents were Jews.
However, he is more evil than Pharaoh and his soldiers.
The people have had their say. You have seen their rage.
The curse of megalomania is behind his importation of mercenaries.
The murder of his own people - the Libyan will not accept it.
The blood is reaching [people's] knees on 16th Street.
They threatened us before with an enormous number of deaths.
There is no fear of death [even] while they are raping families.
Revenge against Gaddafi, for me, is something compulsory.
In my mind, I defend the Arab and the [Amazigh] Nafusi.
Sons of my country, for God's sake, listen to me well.
If you want to divide us like al-Geeda, you will get nowhere, for we don't have time for this.
God willing, one whose last name is al-Gaddafi [i.e., a member of the Gadadfa tribe] is welcome to fight with us,
so be careful about what you say when you want to join us.
The man from Sirte is our brother. What can you blame him for?
Fitna [i.e. strife within the community] came to us only from the government.
Someone who behaves wisely will not wrong his brother.
The spies are well-known, not far away, and we know who they are.
they're driving around the streets with weapons. He'll ask, "why?"
And not only that, they've begun to take the youth from their neighborhoods [i.e. from their homes].
They enter the hospitals in order to kill the wounded.
This is something they're big on - they are afflicted [with madness].
They don't know Islam or homeland. They are devils
who kill the innocent, as they did in Abu Sleem.
Through all these years their have become faces well-known.
Soon, they will taste the rage of millions.

These are the dogs who eat dogs, who brought them?
Khamis [al-Gaddafi] is the spawn Devil. Look at what drives them!
________________________ bribery and drunkenness
and their leader's evil. What does the soldier do?
They remove their conscience[s] from them, so that they will do what [Gaddafi] wants.
And whoever refuses the orders - they will certainly burn him [to death].
I mean, these are official words - no exaggeration.
What you consider to be impossible is a confirmed fact.
Among the garbage - this news isn't new. We have known it
and now you see the pictures. Even sheep are killed.
These people have lost [their] humanity and they kill the people.
Their God is Gaddafi, so their anger is turned against the people.
They told you that those who don't want Muammar should die,
so imagine what those who follow the tyrant imagine.
It doesn't matter to them. When they come into a home,
these evildoers will kill the elderly and the young.
This is not a joke, we are fighting the monsters of Satan.
Gaddafi's brigades are the armies of Satan.
Those who say "no" don't understand Satan.
[When he's in Hell], Gaddafi will be giving lessons to Satan!
Like his spawn who were brought up in the nest of evil.
Your turn is coming, Saif [al-Islam al-Gaddafi], go drink the oceans' water!
The ocean you spoke of, who did you think owns it?
You know how to blame. God willing, you will know how to float.
You pretend that you know what's happening. We only want one thing.
The whole Libyan people want to ride the "Taxi Jdayda." [i.e., all anti-Gaddafi Libyans are taking hallucinogenic drugs, as Gaddafi's spokesmen allege]
"So, Hmaida, should we rush Bab Aziziya?"
"Yeah, it's cool. Just leave me the drugs and everything'll be perfect!"

The past was the time of surrender__________.
Let the Libyan people show you who the rats are,
who the cowards who want _________ are,
I mean who the foul one whom we curse everywhere [really] is,
who the henchman who told us we live in security [really] is.
I want [to know], all this time, where human rights have been? Where?
In the days when I was fighting with my tongue [i.e., with my words],
how many times did I say al-Geeda [i.e. Gaddafi] has been fighting Islam?
And I heard "obedience to the ruler" - Yes, but not Muammar!
We all know that he knows nothing except destruction.
Dark will be the days of the disgusting creatures who stand behind him,
like those who dip themselves in shit.
Bring the bleach! I want to cleanse the city
from the likes of those who worship Muammar, God curse [his religion].
Did I say it or not? I have the words of [real] men.
Speaking the truth to a godless ruler is among the best of deeds.
There are 42 reasons, not just from me.
What? We are the ones who requested the No Fly Zone in the sky.
I have a message to those from outside who don't want [the No Fly Zone]:
The oil that's in our country now - you won't touch it!
Back out of it, you conspiracy theorists!
There are wars in Libya, not only demonstrations.
Whoever did not stand with us: it's best for him to shut his mouth.
Even before we revolted, the people were living in misery [lit. merde, French for "shit"]
and you wouldn't say a word! Or you believed his words
when he swore allegiance to the Americans and pretended to be fighting Osama.
Do you think we don't understand? The Libyan people are conscious.
Whoever claims to "enlighten" us - we'll give it to him with our boots.
I'd like to speak more politely, but I don't have time for the vain peacocks [i.e., fools]
who think they understand but who understand nothing.
Better for him to shut his mouth and stay in his place.
Either stay out of it, or stand by us.
For anyone who hadn't heard before: we don't accept colonialism.
We are the grandchildren of Ramadan al-Swehli and Omar al-Mukhtar.
They'll occupy their eyes. This is the flag of independence,
a sign that we refuse any attempt at exploitation.
Listen, son, the Libyans' madness is well-known
from the desert to the ocean to the mountains.
We are not a generation, we are generations.
Return to history if you want convincing - or come and try us.
Our women - none are stronger than them.
On their effort, their honor, Libya lives.
In Libya the mothers raise men
who stand and pray and then fight the devil.
Their weapons are Islam, faith, the Quran
while Gaddafi's forces are the Devil's worshippers.
You can't even say "shame on" the crimes that that commit.
There is only one language that they respect.
_________ don't even know how to bury our dead - no!
And they rape our daughters and our sisters.
Patience, Iman [al-Obeidi]. Victory, God willing, is near.
This, for me, is as certain as my blessings of loved ones.
We will catch the Colonel by his tail and then he will see.
I will be there, and God willing all will be well, my family.
If you revolt, you must be on drugs.
Long ago, I warned them clearly [??].
Tripoli, Tobruk, Benghazi, Misrata.
Get on the boats! Flee to Malta!
That was two years ago, I see it as old.
Ibn Thabit - download, on the net, the song named "Deema" ["Forever"].
Gaddafi, where are are? Just leave it between me and you.
I don't want you to die until you see the rebels with your own eyes.
After that, I want you, "The One Eagle," [a Gaddafi honorific] to raise your hands.
What, you want to fly? Yes, "keep on challenging, keep on."  [a Gaddafi propaganda slogan]
The day you die will be a new holiday
and in Hell you will be the fuel
with your sons and the creatures who pretend to love you.
For 42 years after you're dead we'll curse you.
After we've seen what you've done.
your day will come and it will be darker than black.
I've said it before but let me repeat it once again:
the mujahideen are on the way and victory is near, by God.
Even without weapons the Libyan people have shoulders.
Kill ten of us or even ten thousand.
Even the religious scholars have made your beheading legal.
And I, by God, declare the beheading of [your] spies to be legal.

ليبيا هي بلاد الحفّاظ وينما تمشي ديما تسمع الأذآن
ليبيا فيها شعوب و قبائل لكن رافعين نفس الأعلام
ليبيا فيها مستقبل *أعلى بان ولا * خيال الأحلام

توحّدت البلاد من جديد الشكر لله
مش قلنا دم الشهداء ما يمشيش *شهباء
توا أحلى أيام ان شاء الله في القدّام
منديرو زرادي* إلى مدى اثنين و عربعين عام
للكسكس البرديم البكوكي البزين
*ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ أطول من اليموسين
الله يعين الأحباب الشهداء ما تخافوش
ما ننشوش عندنا عشر ألف محمّد نبّوس
اصغارهم مش أيتامه اعتبرو *أحتامه
غير تدقو علينا لو كانهم ناقصين حاجة
الكلمات هذه سمعتها أكثر من مرّة
على حجم عدد اللي قالو القيدة اطلع برّا
هذه مسؤولية مهمّة واجب علينا
ما فيش حاجة اسمها واجد* علينا
راضين باللي كتبه ربّي علينا
الحمد لله على الخير اللي فينا

ليبيا هي رواية الفرسان التريس تشوف فيهم في كل أمكان
ليبيا هي بلاد الحفّاظ وينما تمشي ديما تسمع الأذآن
ليبيا فيها شعوب و قبائل لكن رافعين نفس الأعلام

Libya is the story of knights and men - you see them everywhere!
Libya is the nation of Quran memorizers. Wherever you go, you hear the call to prayer.
Libya has [many] peoples and tribes but they [all] raise the same flag.
Libya has a bright future, a future you couldn't have imagined in your dreams.

If you wonder about Gaddafi, know that his days are numbered.
He wants to sow fitna [strife among the Islamic community] but he doesn't have the means.
No regionalism! No racism! No tribalism!
Here, I'll make it clear for you in the Amazighi language:

***Tamazight, line 1***
***Tamazight, line 2***
***Tamazight, line 3***
***Tamazight, line 4***
***Tamazight, line 5***
***Tamazight, line 6***

We have different looks and different colors but we are all Libyans
and whoever insults one among us insults millions.
He says there are no Amazigh when they have lived here for years.
A quick question: where are these words from then?

***Tamazight, line 7***
***Tamazight, line 8***

Libya is the story of knights and men - you see them everywhere!
Libya is the nation of Quran memorizers. Wherever you go, you hear the call to prayer.
Libya has [many] peoples and tribes but they [all] raise the same flag.
Libya has a bright future, a future you couldn't have imagined in your dreams.

If we can only be rid of the The Geeda (Gaddafi), I said this long ago
and purify the land of the Saad-Sheen (spies) who are like rats [i.e., everywhere].
*_______________?
Just knock twice on the door of his headquarters - they won't welcome you!
But it's fine. We'll scatter them and bring them in afterwards.
And Libya, as it once was, will return to being the apple of our eyes.
The 2000 kilometers along the ocean is the property of the Libyan people,
and if you don't like it, Saif, you can answer to the millions.
Those who are with you are disbelievers who worship the tyrant.
We will bring them in one by one, from Kufra to Nalut.
No crime will pass us by [i.e., will be forgotten] - it's not far off!
And we will make you pay - this is certain!
Zawiya and Zuwara: we will rebuild them
and help is coming from Tarhuna and Bani Walid.
The 1st of September [the day Gaddafi came to power in 1969], which you called the Eid,
in Tripoli that street [named after that date] will be renamed Martyr's Street.

Libya is the story of knights and men - you see them everywhere!
Libya is the nation of Quran memorizers. Wherever you go, you hear the call to prayer.
Libya has [many] peoples and tribes but they [all] raise the same flag.
Libya has a bright future, a future you couldn't have imagined in your dreams.

The nation has united once again, God be praised.
Didn't we say the blood of martyrs will not go in vain?
Now the sweetest days, God willing, are what comes next.
We will camp out for 42 years.
Couscous, Burdeem, Bakbuki, Bazeen (Libyan food).
We will serve you a list of dishes longer than limousines.
God be with loved ones. O martyrs, don't be afraid!
We don't forget that we have ten thousand Mohammad Nabbous-es.
Their children are not orphans, consider it over.
You will just knock [on any door] if you are missing something.
These words I have heard more than once,
as many times as I heard, "Gaddafi, get out of here!"
This is an important responsibility that is incumbent upon us.
There is nothing called "too much."
We accept what God has written for us.
God be praised for the goodness there is within us.

Libya is the story of knights and men - you see them everywhere!
Libya is the nation of Quran memorizers. Wherever you go, you hear the call to prayer.
Libya has [many] peoples and tribes but they [all] raise the same flag.
Libya has a bright future, a future you couldn't have imagined in your dreams.

أه يا بنغازي
راني ترهوني لكن *الجوّ فيها مش عادي* غادي
و اللي مش *عاجبين ما نهتمِّش* بهم أنا راضي

بنغازي يا بنغازي انتي ديما على انساني
مستحيل ننساها و نتمنّى ما تنساني
فتيل* المدينة تلحق أولادها ديما مهبال
عندهم إي مشاكلهم و قاعدين أولاد أحلال

كلنا نحبّو بلادنا الليبيّين ما فينا فرق
مش قادر ندسّ حبّي الكبير لعاصمة الشرق
نصبح* من الفجر أنا مش قادر *نراجي
إجازة من الترهونة ١٢ ساعة لبنغازي
طوب* فبي* السيارة *كعبن كامل* غادي
مهما قال الناس على بنغازي أنا راضي
قالو مغضوب عليهم لكن ربّي هو القاضي
نردّ عليكم توا لكن والله ما اني فاضي
ماهو الشرطي اللي وقفني قال لي تعالي في السرتي
مش عاجب *الشورى ترقع* ولا الصورة على تيشيرتي
ضيفتي* البوديما يعزموني على *قرابه
و يلقوني الترهوني لكن صحابي هم صحابه

ماهو الناس اللي في بنغازي دائماً كريمين

مش لازم نجامل راني مش من غير الاسباب

بنغازي يا بنغازي انتي ديما على انساني
مستحيل ننساها و نتمنّى ما تنساني
فتيل* المدينة *تلحق أولادها ديما مهبال

التريس في بنغازي هم معنى الحرارة
هthe roof is on fire فعلاً حرقو السفارة
المخابرات ساكتين غادي - وين الإدارة؟
عادي في طرابس يكتب تقرير على جاره
نقيب* تولّي مباراة ناضلين في بعض *الششارة
ربّي يحفظ الأصغار والله خسارة

Benghazi!
I'm a Tarhouni [a native of Tarhouna], but the mood is great over there [in Benghazi].
And if you don't like it, I don't care. I'm content.

Benghazi, O Benghazi, you're always on my mind.
It's impossible for me to forget her and I hope she doesn't forget me.
You know the city, you see her sons - always "crazy" [amped or excited].
They have their problems and they're still good people.

We all love our country. Among Libyans there is no difference.
I cannot hide my great love for the capital of the east.
I get up from daybreak, I can't wait.
A holiday from Tarhouna: twelve hours to Benghazi.
If the car breaks down on the road, I'll walk the rest of the way.
Whatever the people say about Benghazi, I'm content.
They said, "anger has been turned on them," but my Lord is the judge.
I would respond to you now but I don't have the time.
Because the police who arrested me said come to Sirtee [a Benghazi neighborhood].
It looks like he didn't like my license plate or the picture on my T-shirt.
My friend in Budeima invited me to come over.
They call me Tarhouni, but my friends are his friends.
And the gang in Luhaisha offered me hashish.
I don't mean drugs, I mean a glass of tea [hashish also means tea leaves]
even if they have no money. I have people in Salmani.
They don't have bazeen [a Libyan dish] but they made it for me [anyway]
because the people in Benghazi are always generous.
If you know, you know what I mean: we are all Libyans.
I don't need to flatter. I'm not [saying this] without cause.
I've never met anyone in Benghazi who closed the door against me.

Benghazi, O Benghazi, you're always on my mind.
It's impossible for me to forget her and I hope she doesn't forget me.
You know the city, you see her sons - always "crazy" [amped].
They have their problems and they're still good people.

The men in Benghazi are the definition of fired up.
The roof is on fire. Really! The they burned the embassy. [on February 17, 2006, police protesters dead during the demonstrations in front of the Italian consulate]
The secret police are silent over there. Where's the administration?
It's normal in Tripoli to write a report on your neighbor.
It's becoming a game. The spies are fighting each other.
God preserve the little ones. I swear, it's a shame!
On Omar Ibn al-Aas Street you have a special ruin.
The building is still blackened and in its walls there are still bullets.
If I want to buy clothes, I go to al-Aqeed Street.
If I want to get shish tawook, there's a terrific place here.
Al-Shahd Restaurant, here's an advertisement for you.
What should I say? Your sandwiches are always great!
You know on Pepsi Stand they stand in front of the door.
For good burgers, go to Al Shabab restaurant.
If you want to look for the kawish you'd stay for years.
And to buy presents, go to 20th street.
*____________________?
*____________________?
Love and respect from the righteous scoundrel.
This is a greeting from me to teach the accusers.

Benghazi, O Benghazi, you're always on my mind.
It's impossible for me to forget her and I hope she doesn't forget me.
You know the city, you see her sons - always "crazy" [amped].
They have their problems and they're still good people.

طرابلس طرابلس عاصمتنا تنادي فينا
الله يحفظها الله ينصر أولادها يا ربّ
مجروحة العروسة عصابة صدرية
محبوسة طرابلس إقامة جبرية
من بعيد نسمعو فيك و قلوبنا معك
صدقيني لو في إي كيف نكون بحدّك
نشوفك مليح و لو كنتي *مدرقة
يظلّ يخنقك رقبتِك زرقاء
نرقى لأعلى مكان *لنعيّط
بسبب الطاغوت وجهها تغيّرت
مش عارف بتوصل هالكلمة ليكي
نتكلّم فيكي حبيبتي نتمنّى نجيك
متألّم بسبب ألمك يا ريتني تردّي عليَّ
و تقول لي الله يسلمك
ما تجيش لي النوم في الليلة يمنعه
منحيش* ما قولتي نبيك *يا حناية
يا ريت والله والأيات الحايط مبلول
بدموعي يقولو خيره أخوي* مهبول؟
مخّي مش معي لما يكلّمو فيَّ
هي وحيدة حبيبة نقولها عربية
العاصمة الغربية من غيرها ما يصير شيء
يا ريتني نا يغير حد مش قادر ندير شيء
و هذه اللي توجع فيَّ خذي ايديَّ خذي رجليَّ
غير خلّيها هي
الصبر ليه حدود القلوب إخلاص
زيّ الرصاص اللي يضرب في الصدور أو الرأس
ان شاء الله يرأس القنّاصة اللي يرحم عليها
سليمة هي شوف ايديها
ما تعرفش الظهر* هالتحيات الحرّة
ما عرفت الهاشة* هي قصّتها مرّة
هذه على المقياس زي الذهب أو الماس
انت اللي تظلم    * فيها يحكو لي *عليش
يفشخ* فيها و يقشّر* قّدام الناس
لو بعدان يكذّب كلام الناس
الدنيا كلها تشهد كل تشوف
كل اللي تدير فيها* معروف
مستحيل *تدسّ* الدنيا شؤونها
ملايين اللي ما *يتهفرين* بعيونها
الهجمات القاتلة و القاسية
الربّ يحفظها من هالطاغية العاصية
مظبوط أنّ حكومته باطلة 
يكذّب في الكلمات *خاظلة
مش قادر نعبر على جمالها بلساني
فتزيدها إلى عبئيَّ لما نشوفها تعاني
لو كاني حنبها أيا نفرّغ صدري
شنو ذنبها و عادي اِحفِر لي قبري
صبري يتم* حاجة والله تحرق الدم
لا يجيني الجوع أو العطاش و النعس من الهمّ
شكون في الناس يفهم طرابلس تنادي؟
نحطوها هذي فوق راس بلادي
نهاية الكابوس تحرير طرابلس
احنا معكم
 

Tripoli...Tripoli...Our capital city is calling us.
May God Protect her. May God grant victory to her children. O Lord...
The bride is wounded - a chest wound.
Tripoli is imprisoned - house arrest.
From far away we hear you and our hearts are with you.
Believe me, if I could, I would be near you.
I see you clearly even though you're hiding.
He's still strangling you and your neck is blue.
I'm going up to the highest place to cry.
Because of the tyranny, her face has changed.
I do not know if this word will reach you.
I speak to you, my love. I wish I could come to you.
I am in pain because of your pain.
I wish you'd reply to me
and tell me, "God bless you."
Sleep doesn't come to me at night. He prevents it.
I hear you saying, "I want you here."
I wish...I swear by God and by the verses of the Quran that the wall is soaked in my tears.
They wonder, "What is wrong? What's with him? Is he mad?"
My mind isn't with me when they speak to me.
She is the only beloved - I'll say it clearly.
The western capital: without it, nothing happens.
I hope no one gets jealous. I can't control anything
and that's what hurts me. Take my hands, take my legs.
[Lord,] just keep her [safe].
Patience has its limits, the hearts [have] faithfulness.
We reached a point of no return just like the bullets that hit our chests and our heads.
May god forgive the sniper who takes pity on her.
She is peaceful! Look at her hands! She cannot harm [anyone].
_________. She has never known freedom.
__________. Her story is bitter.
You are the one who is unjust towards her.
On the scales she is worth more than gold and diamonds.
You are making her collapse while acting proud in front of the people.
And then [Gaddafi] denies what the people say.
All the world bears witness and watches.
Everything you do is known.
It is impossible to ignore these facts.
There are millions who are touched by her eyes.
Deadly and violent attacks on us.
May God protect her from this sinful tyrant.
It's true that his regime is illegitimate.
His words are all failing lies.
I can't describe her beauty with my tongue.
It adds to my burden when I see her suffer.
If I were near her, I would unburden what is on my chest.
What was her crime? Go ahead and dig my grave.
I don't have patience anymore, it burns my blood.
I no longer feel hunger, thirst or need to sleep from the sorrow.
Who among the people understands that Tripoli is calling?
Let's put her on top of my country.
The end of the nightmare is the liberation of Tripoli.
We're with you.

قاعد حائر من سؤالك يا صاحبي العزير
توقعنا المظاهرات و ما شفنا غير التنقيز
شنو تقول يا ابن ثابت على قلوب الشعب؟
هل ما زال في أمل و طموح في الشعب؟
هل سيقاومو الإبداد زيما قاومو جدودنا؟
هل سيضحو زيّ ضحّو في غرب حدودنا؟
هل ما زال في كرم و شجاعة في قلوبنا؟
ولا بنافقو بعضنا بش بنعبؤو جيوبنا؟
نبي تبي ردّي ولا تبي ردّ الناس؟
أنا ما يعرف إلّا ربّي عيش أنا قدّاش
تبي الرأي المعاكس؟ ما عنده الأساس
صفي* حالك زي ينزلو من قصة *الكسكاس
أول حاجة يقولوك راهو* اِحمَد ربّي كانك حيّ
حامد ربّي لو مش للنفظ البلاد ما فيها شيء
و يمكن هيكي خير بش يقلبوه على رأسه
زي ما داروها في تونس تحية هذه خاصة
على الأَقَلّ عندنا خبزنا و الخبز رخيصة
صوب* دم الشهيد ما تقدّرش *القيشة
شنو عذرك؟ تستنّى في سيّدنا عيسى؟ 
الدولة اللي جنبنا لزّت* رئيسها
قال أني فهمتهم بعدما *أجتمتهم 
يا معمر راهو يشبت* ما عمرك ما خدمتهم
يا معمر راحو* خيرلك *تحت تعطيه و تتوب
ماهو يا معمر مستحيل الهروب
الانتقام يجيك زيّ القطار في الحائط
حنغرقوك في الماء، تجيبه غلّي الزيت
بش تعرف شهداء ابو سليم كيف يصيحو
إلا يشوفوك في الجحيم مش حيستريحو
نقسم بالله اللي خلقك و خلقنا
معمر نهايتك والله *نقربها
تسعين في الميئة منّا راحو غضبنا
شني يوم الباقي حيا* يا ريتنا هربنا
مش حيفيدكم فلوسكم لما نقطعو رؤوسكم
في اليوم اللي تلاقوا جيوشنا و جيوشكم
منوشكم بش ـــــــ* و قبل ـــــــ
ماهو لما تبدأ الثورة ما حتقدر الطير
قصدي ثورة شعبية بمعنى الكلمة 
ما عندهش القيدة مع مستوى *وعلمه
يجيك على المزان زي ما *ترابول فدّة
كانهَ شاطر في الشيء؟ اسأل ممرضته
حتقولك هو مليح في تخريف الأدلّة
أي جاجة تقولها صحيت *أللة
هذا كلام الشِلة اللي يموتو على القرش
تريس الهقنيّة حيفوتو* القرش
الرزق اللي خليت نهبته* و البرئ اللي تقتله
التلميذ اللي أهملته كلهم توا حيجوكم
ما عندكم وين تهربو نعرفو وجوهكم
ما حيستقبلكم حد هاي على *وجوهكم
رفاعين المنطوى* الصادشين يا كلاب
عارفينكم توا ما تعرفوش العذاب
لكن توا تعرفو - حطو فلوسكم برّا
تجمدهم سويسرا إلا آخر مرّة
تستغنو الشعب ما يحبوش *يخدموه
يا وسخين * ما تعرفوش إلا تخذوه
الرزق اللي تاكلو فيه هذا النار
هذا واضح زي شرف سيدي عمر المختار
اللي مات على البلاد شوف أحداث في البلاد
قداش منها القرن ماهو* فات للبلاد؟
قداش المليارات اللي نسرفو في الفاضي؟
قداش اللي عجبهم* إلا الفاضي؟
ما يعرفني إلا ربي و ربي القاضي
لما بنحدّو* القيادة اقعد لغادي

I’m still confused about your question, my dear friend.
We expected demonstrations and saw nothing but some jumping up and down.
What say you, Ibn Thabit, about the people’s hearts?
Is there still hope and ambition in the people?
Will they resist oppression as our forefathers did?
Will they sacrifice as those west of our border [in Tunisia] sacrificed?
Do we still have pride and courage in our hearts?
Or do some of us commit hypocrisy in order to fill our pockets?
I want [to know]: do you want my response or the response of the people?
No one but God knows how long I’m going to live.
Do you want the opposite opinion? It has no foundation.
*______________________________________*
The first thing they tell you is, "[You should] thank God that you’re alive!"
I do thank God! If it weren't for the oil, there would be nothing in the country.
And maybe that’s for the best so they can turn it upside-down
like they did in Tunisia! This is a special salute [to Tunisia].
At least we have our bread, and bread is cheap,
but you can’t measure the price of the martyr's blood.
What’s your excuse? Are you waiting for our Lord Jesus [i.e., for Judgment Day]?
The country next door chased its president away!
He said, "I have understood them" after he insulted them.
Muammar, you have never served your people.
Muammar, you’d better give up and repent
because, Muammar, it's impossible to escape.
Our revenge is coming for you like a train though the wall.
We will drown you in water. Bring it! Boil the cooking oil
so you can learn how they screamed at Abu Sleem.
Until they see [that] you [are] in Hell, they will not rest.
I swear by God, who created you and created us:
By God, Muammar, your end is near.
90% of us have become enraged.
One day the rest will say, "Man, I wish we had run away!"
Your money won’t help you when we cut off your heads
on the day when your armies and our armies meet.
*______________________________*
Because [when] the revolution begins you won't be able to fly [away].
I mean a people’s revolution in the [real] meaning of the word.
Gaddafi doesn't have the level of learning [to know it].
It's coming onto the scale like ___________*
I don’t know if he’s clever with anything - ask his nurse!
She’ll tell you that he’s good at distortion.
Anything she says was correct.*
These are the words of paralysis that kill for a penny.
The men of gangs that will do anything for a penny.
The livelihoods they let you were allowed to steal, the innocents you’ve murdered,
the students you’ve ignored: they'll all come back to [haunt] you.
You have nowhere to escape. We know your faces!
No living person will welcome you, so watch out!
We're raising _______ on the henchmen, you dogs!
We know that you don’t know what torture right now.
But now you know - go stash your money abroad!
Switzerland [will] freeze them forever.
You’ve acted as though you're able to do without the people. Filth! You don't wish to serve.
You don’t know how to do anything but steal our wealth.
The livelihoods that you devoured - they'll turn into fire!
This is as clear as the honor of Mr. Omar al-Mukhtar,
who died for this country. Look at what's happening in the country!
How many decades have passed us by?
How many billions have been squandered for nothing?
How much are those who were pleased by this worth, if not nothing?
No one knows me, but my Lord and my Lord is the Judge.
When we topple the leadership, go sit over there [in the corner]!

ربّي يقبل شهدائنا و ربي ينصره بلادنا
معروفين الليبيّين أحفاد الشهداء
لكن بعد اللي شاهدنا ييقولو بلاد الشهداء
دماء الشعهداء شفتوها على الشاشات
و شبابنا واقفين قدّام الرشاشات
من غير الخوف مهما كان الموت أكيد
كانو كل واحد فيهم يبي موت شهيد
مش غير بش ينتقموا من المجرم العقيد
ماهو نشوفو الشهداء كل واحد فيهم سعيد
سبحان الله ربك يرزق مايشا* بالشهادة
و صبر العباد في *بساء
بلادنا والله معبء بالتريس
و دم أولادنا والله ما رخيص

CHORUS (x2)
أياما ساب من دموع
أياما ساب من دماء
نهنّي الأمهات: أولادكم شهداء

نعزّيكم و نهنّيكم بما عندي كلمات
اللي ضُحِّيَ الشهيد ردّ بالكم ما تقولوا مات
تقول اللي راقدين الضحايا مبتسمين
اللي قاعدين الله يعين بالله يستعين
بربك المجيب الصبر والله جميل
الدليل موجود في وحدة السبيل
ماهو شعبنا واحد دمنا واحد
لما يضحي منّا واحد همّنا واحد
شدّوا ايدينا بعضنا قلوبنا واحد
نوقف في صفوف ضدّ عدونا - واحد
مجنون مش انسان هذا شنو تقولوله
حشك* نطفو على وجوه اللي يهتفوه
الليبي الأصلي مستحيل يدير هيكي في شعبه
هذه الدماء اللي أحرم من الكعبة
ما ننزي* الكلام على الطاغوت البليد
غير أنّ المجد ما يجي إلا من المجيد
يا الله نستعينو بك النجدة
يعبدك الليبيين في ستة الملايين سجدة
نوسّلو منك رحمة للشهداء
و نوسّلو منك توحّد و توافق هبلادنا

CHORUS (x2)
أياما ساب من الدموع
أياما ساب من الدماء
نهنّي الأمهات: أولادكم شهداء

May God accept our martyrs. May God make our country victorious.
Libyans are known as the grandchildren of the martyrs.
But after what we witnessed, they say it's the country of the martyrs.
The martyrs' blood - you saw it on the screens
as our youth stood in front of the machine guns
without fear, even though everywhere death was a certainty.
Each one of them wanted a martyr's death.
Not only to take revenge on the criminal colonel
but because we see the martyrs: every one of them is joyful.
Subhan Allah, God gives martyrdom with the Shahada
And He gives patience and endurance to people.
Our country is full of real men
and the blood of our children, by God, it's not cheap.

CHORUS (x2)
So many tears have been shed.
So much blood has been spilled.
I congratulate the mothers: your children are martyrs.

I offer my condolence and congratulation with what words I have.
The martyr who was sacrificed - don't say that he died.
Say that the victims are sleeping and smiling.
As for those who remain, may God help us and in Him we seek aid.
The Lord is responsive. Patience, by God, is beautiful.
The proof exists in [our] unity of purpose.
because our people are one. Our blood is one.
When one of us is sacrificed, our grief is one.
We link hands together. Our hearts are one.
We stand together in lines against our enemy - united!
A madman, not a human being. What do you call this guy?
Pardon me, but I spit in the faces of those who cheer for him.
It's impossible for the authentic Libyan do such things to his people.
This blood is more sacred than the Kaaba.
I'm not gonna say aything else about the idiot tyrant.
However, glory only comes from [Allah] the Glorious.
O Allah, we seek your aid, [your] assistance.
The Libyans worship you on six million prayer rugs.
We beg you to give mercy to the martyrs.
We beg you to bring unity and harmony to this country of ours.

CHORUS (x2)
So many tears have been shed.
So much blood has been spilled.
I congratulate the mothers: your children are martyrs.

CHORUS (x2)
شنو هذه الحبوب؟ شنو يا شبّوب؟
شنو تبي تهلوس معنا يسيّئ* بالقلوب؟
تبي اللي ماشي في السوق خذ جرب و ذوب
هذه تسبّب الحريّة في العقول والقلوب

يزرط* القيدة و نهايته قريبة
مع مين* تعلّمها كلمة تاكسي جديدة؟
مش جديدة لكن جدّية* مش بسارة
المصلحة* هذه مش بعيدة من افكاره
هاي* يفسّر مش اكتشاف كببر
في مافية الانقنّة* القذافي مدير
يطعطع* توا يبي يقولك مصراته
واخدين الحبوب اللي ينزلو في ملطا
تأثيرها غريب - هل في علاج يا طبيب؟
دمّر الدنيا كلها لكن خلّي الأنابيب
تبي تبلع الهبة* ولا بتفرّج من بعيد؟
أوّلما تبدأ تهلوس يموت قدّامك شهيد
بش تعرف التأثير في اللحظة هذه المُرّة
تبدأ في خيالك تفكّر في ليبيا الحرّة
لا! مستحيل! هذه فكرة هلوسية
هالحبوب نتيجة مؤامرة سياسية

CHORUS (x2)
شنو هذه الحبوب؟ شنو يا شبّوب؟
شنو تبي تهلوس معنا يسيّئ* بالقلوب؟
تبي اللي ماشي في السوق خذ جرب و ذوب
هذه تسبّب الحريّة في العقول والقلوب

قبلما نرجع للموضوع الشعب الليبي مؤمن
يقولك الحبوب راهو* الشعب الليبي مدمن
مش ممكن يرضوا بمنافق مجرم
اللي ياتي* في القيدة أكيد مش مسلم
مش شيخ انا لكن بنفتي عيني و عينك
قلتها في خطبة الجمعة بيني و بينك
كلّموني أولاد الشارع و قالو وينك يا حبوب؟
 وسط جماعة اللحي و بالدعوية يوزعو في *الحبوب
باسم الله تبي لتجري في *شارينا
اللي أخذوها توا يسمّو فيهم متمرّدين
يتسبّقو* بالدبابات والله مهابيل
لما سكّروا شبكات راهو* مش من إسرائيل
التشويش للجزيرة جاي من باب العزيزية
باهي معمّر ما حصل على أسلحة نووية
كان هذا ميئتين في الميئة والله يديرها فينا
اللي يقتل المسلمين والله ليلعن دينه

CHORUS (x4)
شنو هذه الحبوب؟ شنو يا شبّوب؟
شنو تبي تهلوس معنا يسيّئ* بالقلوب؟
تبي اللي ماشي في السوق خذ جرب و ذوب
هذه تسبّب الحريّة في العقول والقلوب

اسمع صدّقني اذا تأخذ هذه الحبوب تبدأ تهلوس بالحريّة والله
و نقولك اللي مهرّب فيهم التوانسة و المصاروة
و يستورى* فيهم من جماعة بن لادن و جماعة اللحية
بش يديرو إمارة إسلامية و اليهود و الأمركان يساعدو فيهم بش يأخذو منهم النفط
مين اللي قال؟ قالوها...الحبوب

CHORUS (x2)
What are these pills? What, kid?
What, you want to hallucinate with us?
You want what's hot on the market? Take it, grab it, and taste it.
These pills cause freedom in [the people's] hearts and minds.

Al-Geeda [Gaddafi] is a drug addict and his end is near.
Where do you think he learned the phrase, "Taxi Jdayda" [In Libyan slang, people who are high or tripping out are said to be "riding the Taxi Jdayda"]
[His madness] isn't new, but seriously, it's no joke.
This way of thinking isn't far off from how he thinks or
how he interprets [reality]. It's not a big discovery.
In the ________ mafia, Gaddafi is the ringleader.
He's a drug addict who now wants to tell you that Misrata
took the drugs that were brought down from Malta.
Their effect is incredible. Is there a treatment, Doctor?
Destroy the whole world but leave the pipelines [intact].
You want to swallow the pill or watch from afar?
As soon as you begin to hallucinate, a martyr dies in front of you.
And, just so you understand the [drug's] effect at this bitter moment,
you begin, in your imagination, to think about a free Libya.
No! Impossible! This is a hallucinatory idea!
These pills are the result of a political conspiracy!

CHORUS (x2)
What are these pills? What, kid?
What, you want to hallucinate with us?
You want what's hot on the market? Take it, grab it, and taste it.
These pills cause freedom in [the people's] hearts and minds.

Before I return to the subject, [let me say that] the Libyan people are believers.
If he tells you it's drugs, then the Libyan people are addicts.
It's not possible for them to accept a criminal hypocrite.
Whoever cries out for al-Geeda [Gaddafi] is certainly no Muslim.
I'm no sheikh, but I issue a fatwa from my eye to yours.
I said it on Friday in a sermon between me and you.
The street children called for me and said, "Oh, pills? Where are you?"
Inside the neighborhood mosque the bearded ones are distributing pills.
In the name of God - you want them to course through your veins?
Those who took them - they now call them "rebels."
They drag race in tanks. I swear, they're crazy!
And when they closed the internet, it wasn't Israel [who did it].
The static of Al Jazeera is coming from from Bab al-Aziziya [Gaddafi's compound in Tripoli]
It's a good thing Muammar never acquired nuclear weapons!
Or else it's 200% certain that he would have turned them on us.
The one who murders Muslims, I swear, may God curse his faith.

CHORUS (x4)
What are these pills? What, kid?
What, you want to hallucinate with us?
You want what's hot on the market? Take it, grab it, and taste it.
These pills cause freedom in [the people's] hearts and minds.

Listen. Trust me, if you take these drugs, you will begin to hallucinate freedom. I swear!
I'm telling you, those who are smuggling them are the Tunisians and Egyptians.
And those who buy them are Bin Laden's gang, the bearded gang,
in order to establish an Islamic emirate. And the American and the Jews are helping them in order to take the oil from them.
Who said so? The pills said so!

Full Arabic and English Lyrics after the jump...

شكون اللي قال تبصّ خلّي التريس تشوفوا بعضها؟
جيب اللي شايفوها الباقي و اضرُب على أربع
ليبيا والله تم عبءها بالرجال
من طبرق لدرنا لذات الرمال
يا امصارتة *الامقنة قمتوها* بالغرب
أحفاد رمضام السواحلي اللي وحوش في الحرب
الزاوية بالعربي تركينة مدينة التريس
اللي مش فاهم قصدي اِسأل كتيبة خميس
بنغازي قاعد حاير منه ديما البداية
على طول من وراءها شحات و اجدابيا
الزاوي ديما يقولك مش متحرك من أمكامي
مليارات الدينارات ما يشرى ولا زنتاني
فتوى من صادق الغرياني شعر أخوكم الفرجاني
عادي دير اللي تدير و تبي تدمّر المباني
مش حتقدر دمار اللي يجيك من كل أمكان
من المرج مصلاتة البيضة ودان. فرسان
الحق ما ينكره ولا انسان
حتى الأسرى اِشبَح كيف بنعملوا فيهم بالأحسن
أيام الفتنة من الفتنة كان ابن ثابت *فتّان
فألآن خليني نعود الكلام اللي قلت زمان
القيدة قاعد في القيادة و هذا اسباب الجبان
ما تصف السادس من غدامس لغريان
قصدي نسوينا* والله لقّموها* بالبلاد
ما في واحد ولا فينا مش مساهم في الجهاد
فعلاً هذول أحفاد أسود الصحراء
الحار يتحملوه زي لا القرود في  الصحراء
قرود الصحراء اللي يأيّدو في القيدة
يلعن دين اللي قاعد يقولك القذافي سيده
نبي نعرف كيف يخين أخوه الليبي بايده
في ليبيا الجديدة ما تحصلو* حتى دقيقة أكيدة
صحيقة تسحكم* و نقولك هذه موسيقى
مفيدة للشبوب اللي ماشي في طريقة
الحرية أمامنا* قدامنا كل زهور
الحرية هي الغاية الوحيدة للجمهور
يستاهل كل الخير الشعب الليبي الصبّور
يثور من غير حتى ذرّة خوف في الصدور
القبور في الجبانات تمّ عبءها  بالشهداء
معنا هالمعنويات مش ما تعتمد على السلاح
قالك على شعب مسلّح برّه ملح يا خرّاف
ما يقتل بهالشكل إلّا واحد خوّاف
طيارين قواته الجوية مرتزقة صربية
ينزلو القنابل على قبائل سلمية
ماهو هذه هي الشعب الليبي عنده الوطنية  
بش تتعلم معنى كلمات الثورة الشعبية
لما تقتل فينا واحد راحو دم الشعب الليبي سخون
حطّهم قدام الدبابة و يعطي حالك* في السنون
تكذب بالعيون شوف الصور يا ملعون
يشربو في الحبوب شبه ستة مليون؟
مسموم هذا في رأسه قاعد يرسل في القناصة
يبو يقتلونا كلنا هاي عليكم يا بصاصة
ماهو الرصاص في المخازن مش حيسدن* هالمشروع
الرشاشات و الكلاشنات تصدّو الطلوعة
على الدم الهم و الدموع مع تم أسبوع
لما* زدنا و ما تعانا* بالعلم المرفوع
لا رجوع قالك القذافي قول اللي بتقوله
الشعب الليبي يسبّ و *يشتن فيه بعرضه و بطوله
في اغلب المدن صورة القيدة في الرابش
الألسنة كلها تقولك ناقص حرّية طرابلس
القلوب كلها غادي من الزنتان لبنغازي
بنسبة للمجلس المؤقّت الشعب راضي
الشعب الليبي مية مية لما تجي في الأُخوّة
و اللي يعرف الدوى* معمر ما يفهم إلّا بالقوّة
المسألة الوحيدة هي متى ليس هل
غنفتكم* معمر تمشي ليبيا زيّ العسال
طفو عليك يا معمر عليك الأخزاء إلّا يوم القيامة
و نيران الجحيم قاعدين يدقو على باب القيادة
و لو فيها قاق عنده حتّى ذرّة رجولة يمشي قول حاله
ما يعرفو إلّا يقولو نعم يا سيّدي
ولا يقولوك الشعب يقتل نفسه بنفسه
أصدق حاجة سمعتها منكم على القيدة
بك بنعيش و من غيرك نموتو
ماهو جايين بلقت* لكم يا وسخين
فرد فرد زنقة زنقة

(joke about Tunisians asking Libyans to duck so they can see the revolutionaries in Egypt)
Who is it who said duck down, let the men see each other?
Bring what the others saw, and multiply it by four
You ask me about Libya? It's full of [real] men.
From Tobruk to Derna to The City of Sands [Misurata]
Misuratians, you have done the West proud
The grandchildren of Ramadan Al-Swahli are beasts in war. 
Zawiya, in Arabic a corner, is a city of men.
If you don't see it, go ask the Khamis Brigade.
Benghazi, [Gaddafi] is still bewildered about what to do with you.
Always the one that rises up first, and, behind it, Shahat [Cyraenica], Ajdabiya
Those from Zawiya say "I won't move from my places" and millions won't buy one Zintani.
A fatwa from Sadiq al-Gheriani, the poetry of your Furjani brother.
It's normal. Do what you will, you who wants to destroy buildings.
You won't be able to destroy those who come at you from everywhere.
From Marj, Misalata, Baida, Wadan: knights
 of the truth whom no one can deny.
Even the prisoners, see how we treat them
The days of "let's avoid sedition" are over
if Ibn Thabit was inspiring sedition then, let me repeat the words I said long ago
Geeda [Gaddafi] is sitting in his base, and this is the proof of [his] cowardice
Don't describe the sixth - From Ghadames to Gheryan,
I swear that our women have lifted our nation.
There isn't one person among us who isn't participating in the struggle.
Truly, these are the grandchildren of the lions of the desert.
We endure the heat, unlike the apes of the desert.
The apes of the desert are those who support al-Geeda [Gaddafi].
Curse the religion of he who tells you that Gaddafi is his master.
I want to know how he can betray his Libyan brother with his own hand.
In the new Libya, no one will listen to you for a even minute - most definitely!
_______________ and I tell you that this music
is beneficial for he who walks along path
of freedom. In front of us all are all the flowers
of freedom - it's the masses' only goal.
The people deserve a good life in return. The patient Libyan people
rebel without an atom of fear left in their hearts
The graves in the cemetaries are full of martyrs.
morale does not depend on weapons
He speaks of "the armed nation" (defending him) go to hell, you storyteller.
No one kills on this scale unless he is a terrified person.
Your pilots are Serbian mercenaries.
They drop their bombs on peaceful tribes,
Because this is it, the Libyan's nationalism.
So you can learn the meaning of the words "the people's revolution."
When you kill one of us, the Libyan people's blood becomes hot.
Put them in front of a tank and they'll give it to you in the teeth.
You lie in spite of your eyes! Look at the pictures, you damned person.
Almost 6 million people are drug addicts?
He's poisoned in his head. He's still sending snipers.
They want to kill us all, you will see, you spies.
Because bullets in the storehouses aren't sufficient for this project.
Neither machine guns nor Kalashnikovs blocked our limb
Despite the blood, sorrow, tears, with every passing week
we smile at the sight of the raised banner
There is no retreat. Gaddafi, say what you will say.
The Libyan nation curses you along its length and breadth.
In most of the cities, Geeda's portrait is in the rubbish.
All the tongues tell you that all that's missing is Tripoli's freedom.
All hearts are there, from Zintan to Benghazi.
And the nation accepts the Transitional Council.
The Libyan people are 100% when it comes to brotherhood
and those of you who know know that Muammar understands nothing but force.
The only question is when and not if.
We will be rid of Muammar and Libya will be smooth like honey.
I spit on you Muammar, shame is upon you until Judgment Day.
The fires of Hell are knocking on the door of your headquarters.
If there's one of you henchmen with even an atom of honor, go and tell him the situation.
[But] they only know how to say "Yes, sir"
or they tell you the people themselves are killing themselves.
Henchmen, the truest thing I heard you say about Geeda:
"With you we live and without you we die."
We are coming for you, you filthy people.
Person by person. Alley by alley.
