Lyric

Across the northern lands, old sorrow lies

Steel hardened in wind, beneath frozen skies

Fearless warriors rise in solemn lines

Immortal deeds remembered through time

Shields to shields, with eyes so bold

Each man knows the fate he holds

For native lands they stand as one

Sacred duty till life is done

Drums, strike loud!

Strike with all your might!

Each of us

Has earned his right!

The glory of ages

We won’t betray!

In the holy battle

We will prevail today!

At sunset’s flame across the field so wide

They met their final gaze with honor and pride

To ancestors they journey on a distant light

Forever stepping into the circle bright

In halls of feasts eternal, where honey flows

Each hero finds the place he chose

Where gods reign high on sacred thrones

Victory rings from mighty bells and stones

Drums, strike loud!

Strike with all your might!

Each of us

Has earned his right!

The glory of ages

We won’t betray!

In the holy battle

We will prevail today!

At dawn anew, in the morning calm

Record the heroes’ feats, their valor’s psalm

Battle songs flow over land so free

For fearless fighters who found eternity

Drums, strike loud!

Strike with all your might!

Each of us

Has earned his right!

The glory of ages

We won’t betray!

In the holy battle

We will prevail today
