Our Flag flatter higher in the sky
Who raised you are the Union creators
By their blood they scarify and save you
Your people and soldiers if the battle comes
The dress of pride you are
Four colors the symbol of our country
White is for peace, live in peace
The red is for bravery and steadfastness
The green for our pastures
The black for enemies to live in mourning
Khalifa for you is a glorifier and protector
You are in his eyes, heart and hands
He received you with high esteem and respect
From the right hand of Zayed
The ink of glory talked about you
With letters of light not of ink
In front all the Flags go ahead
At your people you can rely on
We celebrate you and the country is singing
Your name as the Union’s Day
As if Zayed is smiling in the sky
And feels happy with your flattering.
