Principles of 14th July revolution
Variante: Fratelli! L'Esercito e il popolo si sono fusi in una singola entità. Sono diventati una fonte di forza che fa rabbrividire gli stranieri. Lo straniero, insieme all'imperialismo, ha perciò cominciato ad adoperare altri mezzi per dividerci e sopraffarci. Ma questi tentativi di dividerci da parte degli imperialisti sono svaniti tempo fa. Adesso l'imperialismo tenta a dividerci insistendo sulla formazione di partiti e gruppi esclusivi. Lo scopo è di farci lottare fra di noi mentre gli stranieri e gli imperialisti stanno a guardare. Ma conficcheremo una pietra nella bocca dell'imperialismo. Sconfiggeremo l'imperialismo e chiuderemo i varchi fra di noi sotto i suoi occhi. I gruppi parrocchiali e le affiliazioni partigiane non sono di alcun beneficio al paese ora... lo scopo di ciò è di creare divisioni e di indebolirci, facendoci lottare fra noi stessi. Siamo in un periodo di transizione. Siamo risolti a proteggere le vittorie della nostra Rivoluzione a qualsiasi costo.

Frasi su fratelli di Abd al-Karim Qasim
Brother workers! If you wish to stamp out imperialism, you have to exert yourself to work an extra hour. This will undermine the structure of the foreigner and the coloniser. An extra working hour can undermine the structure of the imperialists and threaten their existence.
Principles of 14th July revolution
Variante: Fratelli lavoratori! Se desiderate porre fine all'imperialismo, dovrete sforzarvi di lavorare un'ora in più. Ciò incrinerà la struttura impiantata dallo straniero e dal colonizzatore. Un'ora di lavoro in più può minare la struttura edificata dagli imperialisti e minacciare la loro esistenza.
The woman, your sister, has achieved victory. She will share with you, sooner or later, the responsibilities of administration. The peasant, likewise, has achieved victory, and so has the employer. Formerly, the employer used to fear for his life and for his property. Now, the employer and the worker are brothers working together in both prosperity and adversity to protect the gains of the Iraqi Republic. They work constantly not for any transient selfish interest but for the interest of the people.
Principles of 14th July revolution
The worker and the employer are now brothers who cannot be separated one from the other. The days of exploitation of the whole for the benefit of the individual have gone.

We are not against parties nor are we against the loyal groups, we are always with them, helping them across the ocean of this life. We do not like that the trends and leanings of these parties should get into the ranks of the Army under any circumstances. The reason for this, brothers, is to preserve the unity of the Army and make it always ready to serve the people and the freedom of the people.

Variante: Non siamo contrari ai partiti, e neanche ai gruppi leali. Stiamo sempre dalla loro parte, aiutandoli lungo l'oceano di questa vita. A noi non piace che le mode e le tendenze di questi partiti s'infiltrino nei ranghi dell'Esercito in alcuna circostanza. Fratelli, la ragione è di salvaguardare l'unità dell'esercito e renderlo sempre disponibile a servire il popolo e la sua libertà.
Principles of 14th July revolution
Variante: La donna, vostra sorella, ha ottenuto la vittoria. Tra poco, condividerà con voi le responsabilità dell'amministrazione. Nello stesso modo, il contadino ha ottenuto la vittoria, e anche il capo. Precedentemente, il capo temeva per la sua vita e per la sua proprietà. Ora, il capo e l'operaio sono fratelli che lavorano insieme, che piova o ci sia il sole, per proteggere le vittorie della Repubblica irachena. Fatichano costantemente non per qualche interesse egoista di poca durata, ma nell'interesse del popolo.

We, the people, were denied of the right even to mention the word peace or peace partisans and everyone related to them had to suffer from imprisonment as if it were an unpardonable crime. But now, after the people have been liberated from slavery, and after July 14 ha dawned on us, this Republic and her sons have been liberated and have been marching on the path of freedom ever since.

We will achieve our goals, one of which is the collective rule and the end of autocracy and dictatorship.

Stiamo lavorando per le generazioni future e per il benessere del popolo. Abbiamo combattuto in Palestina per il popolo e per riscattare la sua libertà. Stiamo ancora lottando e non lesineremo alcuno sforzo; non abbiamo fallito nel nostro lavoro per Dio né abbiamo mancato di essere disinteressatamente al servizio del popolo, la nostra guida.

The wealth of the country was robbed and wasted in the interest of imperialism and the foreigner. In fact, everything in this country was exploited for the foreigner. The son of the people was living in miserable conditions. He was humiliated and insulted.

Brothers! The Army and the people have merged into a single entity. They have become a source of strength which is worrying the foreigners. The foreigner, along with imperialism, therefore began to resort to other means to split up our ranks so as to overcome us. But these attempts on the part of the imperialists to split up our ranks have gone long ago. Imperialism now tries to split up our ranks by calling for narrow parties and restricted groupings. The purpose of this is to play one against the other, while the foreigners and the imperialists will sit as spectators. But we shall thrust a stone in the mouth of imperialism. We shall overcome imperialism and we shall close this gap in its face. The parochial groupings and party affiliation at this time are of no benefit to the country... the purpose of this is to create disunity and weaken our strength and play one against the other. We are in a period of transition. We have resolved to protect the gains of our Revolution at any rate.
