1. O nightingale, sing for us, your melodies bring us joy
No heart remains that your tunes have not inspired

2. I'm sleepless thinking of your precious blood shed for the homeland
And the poems and songs that flow from your heart

3. For the sake of our homelands we make every sacrifice
In pursuit of excellence we accept what comes to pass

4. The torch of truth forever shines bright
As long as it's fueled by our people's sacrifice
