Original text

عيشي بلادي عاش اتحاد إماراتنا
لشعب عشت
دينه الإسلام هديه القرآن
حصنتك باسم الله يا وطن
بلادي بلادي بلادي بلادي
حماك الاله شرور الزمان
أقسمنا أن نبني نعمل
نعمل نخلص نعمل نخلص
مهما عشنا نخلص نخلص
دام الأمان و عاش العلم يا إماراتنا
رمز العروبة
كلنا نفديك بالدما نرويك
نفديك بالأرواح يا وطن

German translation

Live my country, the unity of our emirate life.
You have lived for a nation
whose religion is Islam and whose guidance is the Koran.
I made you stronger in God's name, oh homeland.

My country, my country, my country, my country.

God has protected you from evil at all times,
We have sworn to build and work.
Work sincerely, work sincerely.
As long as we live, we will be sincerely righteous.

Security held and the flag revived our emirates.
The symbol of the Arabs,
we all sacrifice ourselves for you, we support you with our blood,
we sacrifice our souls for you, oh homeland.
