"United Republic" is the national anthem of Yemen. Written by Abdallah "al-Fadhool" Abdulwahab Noman and composed by Ayoob Tarish, it was formerly the anthem of the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen (South Yemen) and became the anthem of all of Yemen when the two Yemens merged in 1990. Arabic transliteration Raddidi Ayyatuha 'D-dunya Nashidi Raddidihi Wa-a 'idi Wa-a idi Wa 'Dhkuri Fi Farhati Kulla Shahidi Wa'Mnahihi Hullalan Min Daw'i Idi Raddidi Ayyatuha 'D-dunya Nashidi 'Ishtu Imani Wa-hubbi Umamiyya Wa-masiri Fawqa Darbi Arabiyya Wa-sayabqa Nabdu Qalbi Yamaniyya Lan Tara 'D-dunya Ala Ardi Wasiyya. English translation Repeat, O World, my song. Echo it over and over again. Remember, through my joy, each march. Clothe him with the shining mantles Of our festivals. Repeat, O World, my song. In faith and love am I part of mankind. An Arab am I in all my life. My heart beats in tune with Yemen. No foreigner shall dominate over Yemen.
