Yemen Chants
no dialogue, no dialogue, resign or escape
we wont chew qat and we wont sleep until the regime collapses
Oh Hamdi (former president) return return, your people is begging at the
borders
Our demand is clear, leave of Salih
Oh Ali depart, the chair beneath you is rusting
Oh King Abdallah, prepare a place for Ali Abdallah (Shouted as protestors
pass by the Saudi embassy)
Oh free ones oh free ones, not Ahmad and not Amar
We and the army and the police, the need for bread brings us together (we
have the same problems) (sung as demonstrators passed by security forces)
Oh Ahmad tell your father, Yemen is not your father’s
Oh God Oh God, death to Ali Abdallah
Long live yemen, down with Ali
There is no solution, there is no solution, either you go down or you leave
Mubarak went down oh Ali, After Mubarak oh Ali
Oh Hamada tell your father, all the people hate you
No studies and no teaching until the president goes down
Our revolution is popular, like the Egyptian revolution
Our revolution is peaceful, one hundred percent peaceful
All the people hate him
Go Ali, without your departure there will be no solution
Revolution oh people from north to south
No engineering and no education until the president goes down (shouted by a
mechanic looking guy)
Demonstration demonstration until the regime goes down
Oh Hamada tell your father, 70th road is not your father’s
Oh oh leave oh Ali
oh god oh god, down with Ali Abdallah
The Egyptian people brought down Mubarak
Long live the Egyptian people
Revolution until victory
One thousand greetings to al Jazeera
Yesterday Tunisia, today Egypt, tomorrow Yemen will open the prison
Down with the regime
The people want the regime to collapse
Revolution oh Yemen from San’a to Aden
The Yemeni people is fed up with Ali Abdallah Salih
Awaken, awaken oh youth
Long live Egypt
Down Hosni Mubarak
Egypt mother of the free! mother of the revolutionaries!
And part of the poem by the Tunisian poet Abul Qasim Ashabi which has been
sung in Tunisia and Egypt too:
“If people ever wanted to have a life, destiny shall respond, night shall
come to light, chains shall be broken”
