هَيَّا يَا أَطْفَالُ، وَنَحْفَظُ: هَيَّا يَا أَطْفَالُ.

Come along, children, and let's memorize this: Come along, children.

هَيَّا هَيَّا يَا أَطْفَالُ قُومُوا وَاجْتَمِعُوا فِي الْحَالِ.

Come on, come on, children; stand up and gather around at once.

هَيَّا هَيَّا نَحْفِرْ حُفْرَةً وَلْنَزْرَعْ فِي أَرْضِي شَجَرَةً.

Come on, come on, let's dig a hole and plant a tree in my land.

لَا نَنْسَاهَا بَلْ نَرْعَاهَا نَرْوِي تُرْبَتَهَا بِالْمَاءِ.

We won't forget it; instead, we will look after it and water its soil.

وَغَدًا تَكْبَرُ هَذِي الشَّجَرَةُ تَبْقَى مَعَنَا صَيْفَ شِتَاءٍ.

Tomorrow this tree will grow and stay with us through summer and winter.

تُغَطِّي زَهْرًا تُغَطِّي ثَمَرًا تُهْدِي ظِلًّا لِلْأَحْبَابِ.

It will bloom with flowers and fruit, offering shade to those we love.

تَبْقَى أَمَلًا طُولَ الزَّمَنِ وَبِهَا يَزْهُو دَوْمًا وَطَنِي.

It will remain a symbol of hope forever, and through it, my homeland will always flourish.
