Tunisia, Mother Land
When asked to portray my homeland
I honestly did hesitate
What to pen?
What to put in red and white?!
Tunisia, my Home Land
A gem of beauty in Africa continent
A mermaid bathing in the Mediterranean Sea
Could this me suffice?
To accord a tribute to my Mother Land?!
Never before had I a glimpse of thought
To envision my very stand
Let alone to fathom my Love!
A Home of birth
My purest breeze I breathed in
When I first set a voice of joy on her earth
A mother of warm shade
Rooted in her fertile soil
Growing in a haven of peace, a land of generosity.
A country of pride
Striving for the top
Her cultural heritage a crowning glory
Long as I live, her Flag I raise above my head
Tunisia, my Home Land.
