1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Land of the fathers, the guides, the noble

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
And fortress of the Book which shall not be subdued

3
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
O Mauritania, spring of concord

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
And pillar of forbearance, portal of peace

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000
We shall protect your borders, we are your ransom

6
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
And we paint your hills with the colour of hope

7
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
And when you call, we answer forthwith

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
The constellations of your skies have not been veiled

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
And the sun of your forehead has not set

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
We suckled the milk of praise from Yarab

11
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
For Africa, the sweetest source

12
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
We have taken you as a covenant, we have carried you as a promise

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
And we shall give you happiness for a generation that has come of age

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Land of the fathers, the guides, the noble

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
And fortress of the Book which shall not be subdued

16
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
O Mauritania, spring of concord

17
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000
And pillar of forbearance, portal of peace

18
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:24,000
And when you call, we answer forthwith
