Lyrics:
Alhamdulillah (All Praise Belongs to God)
Alhamdulillah (All Praise Belongs to God)
Chantons, chantons (Let’s sing, let’s sing)
Alhamdulillah! (All Praise Belongs to God)
طلع البدر علينا
ṭala‘a ‘l-badru ‘alaynā
The full moon rose over us
من ثنيات الوداع
min thaniyyāti ‘l-wadā‘
From the valley of Wada’‘
وجب الشكر علينا
wajaba ‘l-shukru ‘alaynā
And it is incumbent upon us to show gratitude
ما دعى لله داع
mā da‘ā li-l-lāhi dā‘
For as long as anyone in existence calls out to God
Vivre, c’est aimer (To live is to love)
Aimer, c’est comprendre (To love is to understand)
Comprendre, c’est partager (To understand is to share)
Partager, c’est donner (To share is to give)
Donner, c’est d’aimer (To give is to love)
Aimer, c’est vivre (To love is to live)
