Today above the colors of the sea,
The shades of desert and the strokes of map,
The stripes of silk that we can brightly see,
The blowing by the winds of desert FLAG.

Bringing the WHITE of skies,
As light of smiling moon,
As shooting August stars
Enchanting curves of sandy dune,
The white of thoughts in blossom,
The pure of all intentions,
The hope of every person
And hopes of our ancients.

The Zayed Mosque's pure white
Under the waves of prayer
Uncovered by the light
Of soul shades and layers.

The white is crowned by the BLACK,
As night receives the pure sunrise
Drawing horizon on the map
With Kohl shaping women's eyes.

Abbayas's black with silk of Sheila
Repeating smoothly ocean moves,
As waves arriving and unveiling
The rocks of coast breaking the curves.

The black of liquid priceless gold
Giving the chance to gather nation
Under the rules of our Lord,
With faith and pure admiration
For leaders, visionary talks,
From Empty Quarter to Garbia,
From heights of Ras Al Khor
Till garden farms of Liwa.

Till everything one day turns GREEN:
A street, a walk, a road.

As we have planned, as our dream
To see the flowers grown.
With every child that born today
We plant a new fresh garden,
To watch the colors of the day
Building the walls of Eden.

The green of water after rain,
The green of large Oasis.
The plains of green building Al Ain,
Meeting the Sun that rises
Above the green by lights of RED,
Illuminating darkness.
The red which is the food and bread,
The red of love and kindness.

A bright reminder of the past
When people paid with their blood
Defending loyalty and trust
To their Rulers and the God.

The red of dates, the red of tea,
The red with taste of honey,
The red reflections in the sea,
When weather goes sunny.
The reddish tongues of Bedou fire
Attracting travellers of world.
The blinks of fire-works much higher
Than any of your dreams and words.

Lgeymat has red when deeply fried,
And Ras Al Khaimah has red sand.
Whatever warms you with the light
Would be expressed through shades of red.

What ever says to you your land
United by the color-song,
Protecting your bellowing flag
Is to protect your dear home.
