The following lyrics, created by the late Matoub Lounes, are sarcastically adressed to the Algerian Regime. It is a parody of the Algerian national anthem, whose purpose was to translate the parody of the Algerian nation by the Algerian Regime itself. The Algerian national anthem fairly reflects the aims cherished by Algerians in exactly the same way as Matoub's version reflects the doom of Algeria under the regime's responsability.

Gas yeqd-ag laz d facal fssber ur nettsennid Skud mazal tarwa n lehlal ur s-nkennu i lqid	Although dying of hunger and exhaustion, we won't surrender Nor shall we kneel down as long as heroes are still among us
