1. The war knows my determination as the enemy approaches,
Though I am now old and my youth has passed.

2. The night smiles gently as if to congratulate me,
As I go to face the enemy with all my skill.

3. With me are my weapons and my experience,
And a sharp sword to cut through all hardship.

4. With it I drive back every foe from me,
For this my mother gave birth to me.
