摘要：The National anthem generally expresses the ideology of a given nation. It functions to recruit the body politic in a patriotic framework. The national anthems should crystallize the outlook of the nation. This paper aims at analyzing the Egyptian national anthem within the transdisciplinary field of word and music studies to measure the melopoetic sagacity of this anthem. This is substantially drawing upon the linguistic socio-cultural background where textual analysis, folkloric relevance, musicological characteristics and the Egyptian cultural perspective are discussed at large. The paper encounters three translations of the contemporary national anthem to investigate their soundness. It also diagrams a semantic frame, extracted from the content words of the cotemporary national anthem of Egypt, toward crystallizing its characteristics.
