"United Republic" (Arabic: الجمهورية المتحدة, romanized: al-Jomhuriyah al-Mottaḥedah), also known by its incipit as "Repeat, O World, my song" (Arabic: رددي أيتها الدنيا نشيدي, romanized: Raddedi ʾayatuhâ d-donyâ našîdî), is the national anthem of Yemen. It was written by Abdullah Noman and composed by Ayoob Tarish. It was formerly used as the national anthem of South Yemen but was adopted by Yemen when the country was unified in 1990.[1]
During its usage by South Yemen from 1979 to 1990,[2] the title was "National Anthem of People's Democratic Republic of Yemen" (Arabic: النشيد الوطني لجمهورية اليمن الديمقراطية الشعبية, romanized: n-Našid al-Waṭane al-Jomhuriyat l-Yaman d-Dimoqrâṭiya š-Šaʿbiya).[3]
Chorus:
Repeat, O World, my song.
Echo it over and over again.
Remember, through my joy, each martyr.
Clothe her with the shining mantles of our festivals.
𝄆 Repeat, O World, my song. 𝄇
My unity, my unity
O marvelous song which fills my heart,
You are the promise of all to come, My banner, my banner
O cloth nailed from every sun
Raised forever, on every peak
My nation, my nation
give me strength, o source of strength
And save me for you, the best of nations.
In faith and love I am part of mankind,
And I shall march first among the Arabs.
And my heart beat shall remain that of a Yemenite. No foreigner shall ever hold dominion over Yemen.

O my country, we are children and grandchildren of your men.
We will guard all of your majesty in our hands.
Its light will remain for ever, in every place.
Every rock of your mountains,
Every particle of your soil.
All the moisture of your waters
Are ours.
It is the sovereign of our hopes,
Our rights.
They come from the great glories of your past.
