[Verse 1]
بسقة بساق فقشة فقاش
Basqa besaq, faqsha faqash
قيق قيق قيق .. اسمع يا حوثي لا تناقش
Geeq geeq geeq... Listen, Houthi, don't argue
من تعز جينا، صوتنا نار
We came from Taiz, our voice is fire
ما نخاف منك ولا من حصار
We don't fear you, nor any siege
[Chorus]
بسقة بساق فقشة فقاش
Basqa besaq, faqsha faqash
قيق قيق قيق .. هذا صوت الاحرار
Geeq geeq geeq... This is the voice of the free
تعز العز، تعز الكرامة
Taiz of glory, Taiz of dignity
وانت جاي تدور لك زعامة؟
And you come seeking leadership?
[Verse 2]
اسمع يا اللي جيت من الكهف
Listen, you who came from the cave
تشتى تحكمنا؟ والله عيب وخوف
You want to rule us? By God, it's shameful and fearful
تعز مدينة العلم والثقافة
Taiz is the city of knowledge and culture
وانت ثقافتك سلاح وخرافة
And your culture is weapons and superstition
[Chorus]
نحنا أبناء تعز، أهل الحالمة
We are the sons of Taiz, the people of Al-Halimah (the dreaming city)
نعرف الحرية، ما نعرف الذلة
We know freedom, we don't know humiliation
تقول سيدك، وتقول مسيرة
You say 'your master', and you say 'march'
واحنا نقول لك: ارجع للجيرة
And we tell you: go back to your neighborhood
[Verse 3]
تسرق الرواتب، وتقطع الطريق
You steal salaries, and cut off roads
وتقول انك على الحق، يا حوثي؟
And you say you are on the right path, Houthi?
فين الحق وانت جوعت الشعب؟
Where is the right path when you starved the people?
فين الكرامة وانت نهبت وسرقت؟
Where is the dignity when you plundered and stole?
[Chorus]
تعز صامدة من سنين وسنين
Taiz has been steadfast for years and years
ما ركعت لكم، ولا بتركع لاحد
It did not kneel to you, nor will it kneel to anyone
صبرنا جبال، وعزنا نار
Our patience is mountains, and our glory is fire
وكل زنبيل بنقابله بهذا الشعار
And every 'Zanbil' we will meet with this slogan
[Verse 4]
بسقة بساق فقشة فقاش شعربة عراب
Basqa besaq, faqsha faqash, sha'raba 'arab
قيق قيق قيق .. اسمع يا حوثي لا تناقش
Geeq geeq geeq... Listen, Houthi, don't argue
من تعز جينا، صوتنا نار
We came from Taiz, our voice is fire
ما نخاف منك ولا من حصار
We don't fear you, nor any siege
