إن ظفر السلاف فالسكسونُ

إن ظفر السلاف فالسكسونُ

يأبون أن ينهزم الخدينُ

يأبون أن ينهزم الخدينُ

Should the Slavs prevail, the drunkards

If the Slavs prevail, then the Saxons

will not let their boon companion be defeated;

refuse to see their close companion defeated;

وإن أتيح النصر لليابانِ

وإن أتيح النصر لليابانِ

فغنمهم وغرمهم سيانِ

فغنمهم وغرمهم سيانِ

but should victory be granted to Japan,

and if victory is granted to Japan,

their gain and their loss are one and the same.

then their gain and their loss are equal.
