MALEK JANDALI SYRIA ANTHEM OF THE FREE
Anthem of the Free (2013) is a poignant and powerful orchestral composition by composer and pianist Malek Jandali, a work that captures the emotional depth of Syria’s struggle for freedom. Recorded in Moscow with the Russian Philharmonic Orchestra and the Arabic chorus of the Cairo Opera House, this patriotic anthem is a stirring tribute to the resilience, culture, hope, and peace of the Syrian people.
Syria, Syria! Homeland of the free and land of freedom
Syria, Syria! Land of the golden grain
Oh my country, cradle of civilizations
Its heritage inspired scribes
Homeland of the honorable, resting place of the martyrs
Our sun shines bright, our eagle soars the highest skies
Oh my country, river of virtues,
Its glory is engraved in tablets and stones
Homeland of the Prophets, the alphabet and music
We pray to God, never to part
From my country, my family, the olive groves of my grandfathers, and the children’s hands.
Land of the free and home of freedom.
Syria, Syria! Homeland of the free and land of freedom
Music and Lyrics by Malek Jandali
