تُغَنِّي، وَنَحْفَظ : مِنْ تُراثنا هيا يا أحبابي نَحْكي قِصَصاً شَتّى لِتُسَلِّينا قِصَصاً تَرْوِي حُبَّ الأَرْضِ وَأَصالَةَ شَعْبِ تَروينا مِنْ بَيْدَرِ قَمْح لُقْمَتُنا وَتَعَاوُنُنَا طَبْع فينا في قَرْيَتِنا زَيْتُ صافٍ نَجْني عِنَبا نَجْني تينا هذي الْكُوفِيُّةُ عِزَّتُنا وَالثَّوْبُ تُراتُ فِلَسْطينا يا أَحفادي كونوا أَمَلاً لِنُحَقِّقَ كُلَّ أَمانينا أَنْتُمْ أَجيالُ الْمُسْتَقْبَلْ أَنْتُمْ مَنْ يُحْيِي ماضينا مُهَنَّد ذُوَيْب ١٦

We sing and memorize: From our heritage, come my dear ones, let us tell various stories to entertain us. Stories that tell of the love of the land and the authenticity of a people that nourish us. From the wheat threshing floor comes our sustenance, and cooperation is our nature. In our village, there is pure oil; we harvest grapes and we harvest figs. This Keffiyeh is our pride, and the dress is the heritage of Palestine. Oh my grandchildren, be a hope so that we may achieve all our wishes. You are the generations of the future; you are the ones who revive our past. Muhannad Dwaib 16
