[Verse 1]

What's the point

Waiting for the doorman to drop the key?

You'll be gone

Long before this evil falls asleep

What's the point

Waiting for a better day to come along?

They will bow

To their dogs before they see our reign come

[Chorus]

First the French decamped and left us with the garbage

Then our flag was dyed with Islam and Arabic

They forgot to whom this country once belonged

There is always someone here to take the throne

Traitors, traitors, traitors

[Verse 2]

Did you believe

That they would listen just because they said they would?

How naïve!

They've always been too righteous for their own good

For you know

Power is addictive to the one it wields

They have sown

With evil hands and harvest our tragedy

[Chorus]

First the French decamped and left us with the garbage

Then our flag was dyed with Islam and Arabic

But they forgot about Algeria's free men

We could have it all but were enslaved again

Traitors, traitors, traitors

[Verse 3]

All the same

We will never let them have their filthy ways

We remain!

These are our mountains; this is our place

We will break

Through the the door and have what’s ours all along

For without us

Algeria is suffering on her own

[Pre-Chorus]

So come the rain, come the wind, come the hunger

We won't sit and wait for freedom any longer

We must sacrifice the arm to save the heart

We will split the land before it falls apart

[Chorus]

First the French decamped and left us with the garbage

Then our flag was dyed with Islam and Arabic

But our roots go deep and our will is strong

We will cling onto this land where we belong

Traitors, traitors, traitors

Traitors, traitors, traitors

Traitors, traitors, traitors, traitors...
