علي الكوفية [Ally Elkofiye] [English translation]

Raise your Keffiyeh Raise it

Sing the Ataba and Mijana and enjoy it

Shake your shoulders tenderly

Jafra, Ataba and Diheya

And let guns contribute and make it more fun [interesting double meaning, the song so far has been describing a wedding where people are singing the Ataba and Mijana and doing dabka, traditionally those were always accompanied by shooting guns in the air]

Raise the flag in Ramallah and Mountains of fire [Nablus's nick name]

your proud head band is a symbol of grit and determination [Keffiyeh as a head dress was traditionally associated with head bands 3qal]

The first bullet tells the story of the journey

When the time comes, we make what’s up go down [rearranging an old Palestinian proverb]

Raise your Keffiyeh Raise it

Sing the Ataba and Mijana and enjoy it

We grew figs and olives in the orchard

We brought the wheat seeds and the lemon trees

When you call my country .. we will be ready

Lighting the victory paths in the battle day

Raise your Keffiyeh Raise it

Sing the Ataba and Mijana and enjoy it
