Or they die, Or they die
We will drink from death

An eternal humiliation
Nor a miserable life
We do not want
But we will bring back
Our storied glory, Our storied glory
My homeland, My homeland
The sword and the pen
Not the talk nor the quarrel
Are our symbols, Are our symbols
Our glory and our covenant
And a faithful duty
Moves us, moves us
Our glory, Our glory

And a waving flag
O, behold you
