English Translations: "At the beginning he's chanting names of popular figures in the regime (Hosni Mubarak, Suzanne Mubarak, Ahmed Ezz) followed by 'Murderer!'"
Other chants are "Egypt our mother, here are your children"
"Gather, gather, until the s...ystem falls!",
"Wake up Mubarak, today is your last day,"
"Revolt, revolt until we reach victory! Revolt, revolt in all the streets of Egypt!"
