Palestinian National Anthem

My country , my country

My country , the land of my grand fathers

My country , my country

My country , my nation , the nation of eternity

With my determine , my fire and the volcano of my revenge

The longing of my blood to my land and home

I have climbed the mountains and fought the wars

I have conquered the impossible , and crossed the boarders

My country , my country , the nation of eternity

With the resolve of the winds and the fire of the guns

And the determination of my nation in the land of struggle

Palestine is my home , Palestine is my fire , Palestine is my revenge
and the land of eternal

My country , my country , the nation of eternity

I swear under the shade of the flag

To my land and nation , and the fire of pain

I will live as a guerrilla , I will go on as guerrilla ,
I will expire as guerrilla until I will be back

My country , my country , the nation of eternity

 

[ThePresence]

How moving.

 

[ldulitz]

shouldn't there be an explosion and innocent people getting killed at the end of that?

 

[iamwiz82]

<< Palestine is my home , Palestine is my fire , Palestine is my revenge >>



just another reason to dislike them.

 

[Texmaster]

Can't say I'm shocked.

Well to be fair if you ever read the last couple of verses of our national anthem (the ones no one knows) it is all about killing and vanquishing our enemies and such. Ours is downright bloody. In fact it seems to say pretty much the same thing about our land is they say about thiers.


Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?

Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream:
'T is the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!


And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their lov'd homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and preserv'd us as a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

 

[Jzero]

<< I will live as a guerrilla , I will go on as guerrilla ,
I will expire as guerrilla until I will be back >>


I think something was lost in the translation...
"I will live as a GO-RILLA, I will go on as a GOOOOOO-RILLA, I will expire as a go-RILLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Unitl I will be back, HEY!

Pity. Nobody writes anthems the way the Soviets did

Killing and vanquishing on the field of battle is much different than strapping explosives on to a 14 year old girl.

The continental Congress bore very little resemblance to Fatah.

We are now passing judgement on palestinians based on their national-anthem?

And here I was, thinking that we couldn't get any lower... Sadly, I was mistaken
