Cherifian Anthem

The Cherifian Anthem (Arabic: النشيد الوطني المغربي) has been the anthem of the Kingdom of Morocco even before the country gained its independence in 1956. Its music was written by Léo Morgan, and the final Arabic lyrics by Ali Squalli Houssaini in 1970.

With the spirit, With the body, Your son has come, To answer your call. In my mouth and in my blood, Your love stirred up as light and fire. Let’s go brothers! Heading for grandeur, Making the world witness, That we here perpetually live, With the motto: God, homeland, king.
