I wonder, will a day will come to you when life will flourish

 

Min Gibalna Talaa Sawt Al -Ahrar (From Our Mountains, the Voice of The Free Came) is one of several Algerian national anthems.

 

This national anthem was written by Muhammad Al-Mahboub Istambouli in the year 1940, and composed by Muhammad Al-Hadi Sherif on March 28 in 1942.

This song is considered one of the most famous revolutionary texts which memorialized Algeria's liberation revolution.

The poem consists of sixteen verses using the Muḍāriʿ (The Similar) poetic meter.

 

The performing of these verses was by The Artistic Group of the National Liberation Front before Algeria’s independence.

 

It was performed collectively by the musicians of the Algerian Radio Orchestra, the Algerian TV Orchestra, as well as the Algerian Opera Orchestra. The Algerian Ministry of Education also adopted this anthem alongside others in its fundamental programs; Qasaman, (We Swear), Fedaa Al-Jazaer (For Algeria), Shaab Al-Jazayer Muslim (The People of Algeria are Muslim), Eshhadi Ya Samaa (Oh Sky, Take Witness),  Jazaerna, Ya Bilad Al-Gedoud (Our Algeria, Country of the Ancestors), Alaayk Meni Salaam, Ya Ard Agdadi (Peace Be Upon Me, Oh Land of my Ancestors), and Ya Shahid Al-Watan (Oh, Martyr of the Homeland).

 

From our mountains the voice of the free people rose calling us to independence

Calling us to independence, for our homeland’s independence 

Our sacrifice for the homeland is better than life

I sacrifice my life and money for you

My country my country, I don’t love another but you

My heart has forgone the world and is dedicated to your love

Everything grows in you like a plant

I wonder, will a day will come to you when life will blossom

We offer ourselves for every inch of your wealth

We are cubs of a lion, so send us to your enemy

You have in history a bright corner above your sky

You have in looks a charm that seduces 

We are the wall around you and the solid mountains 

We are the children of Algeria, a people of determination and fortitude
