Syrian Arab Republic National Anthem

Guardians of the Homeland

Guardians of the Homeland,
Peace on you;
Our proud spirits will
Not be subdued.
The abode of Arabism,
A hallowed sanctuary;
The seat of the stars,
An inviolable preserve.

Syria's plains are
Towers in the heights,
Resembling the sky
Above the clouds.
A land resplendant
With brilliant suns,
Becoming another sky,
Or almost a sky.

English translation
Protectors of the homeland, peace be upon you
[Our] proud people will not be subjugated
[Our] den of arabism is a sacred sanctuary
[Our] throne of the suns is a preserve that will not be violated
The fields of Syria and the towers of height
Are in dialogue with the zenith of the skies
A land that rivaled the bright suns, and a sky for you if not the real sky.

The flutter of the dreams and the beat of the heart
Are on a flag that united the country
Its black is from the black of every eye
And the ink is from every martyr's blood
Our spirits are proud and past is great
Where the martyr's spirits are formidable guardians
The ‘’Waleed’’ is from amongst us and so is the ‘’Resheed’’, hence no reason why we will not prevail and prosper.
