Lyrics: “The fire has ignited and the rifle has sung
O homeland, ask for the young people and have hope [that they will fight for you]
The fire has ignited from Acre to Tira (i.e., Israeli cities)
A handful of children who were raised group of young people who grew up on a mat
And they have grown older and but not forgotten the homeland
Who could forget the Paradise of Palestine?
The fire has ignited, honor, honor (“Karameh” in Arabic, apparently refers to the Karameh battle; see note below -Ed.)
The Palestinians, together with all the heroes
Self-sacrificing fighters have appeared, and woe to those who ignore it
The dawn of freedom is painted with blood”
The Karameh battle, or Al-Karameh - On March 21, 1968, Israeli army forces attacked the town of Karameh in Jordan, where Fatah terrorists had been launching attacks on Israel. Although Israel prevailed militarily, Arafat used the event for propaganda purposes, declaring the battle a great victory that erased the disgrace of the 1967 Six Day War defeat.
Lyrics: “The fire ignited and the rifle sang
O homeland, ask for the young people and have hope
The fire ignited from Acre to Tira (i.e., Israeli cities)
A handful of children who were raised on a mat
And they have grown up and not forgotten the land
The fire ignited slowly
The people is one, not families and tribes”
