1. In the turmoil of life
And the darkness of nights

2. And the disturbance of the channel
In grave misfortunes

3. We are a defiant people
We are the lion of struggle

4. The silent lion
So if called upon

5. With a general call
We salute the flag

6. We save the refugees
And relieve the fallen

7. And comfort the poor
And protect the homes

8. And repel evil
We are light and fire

9. We dredge the channel
Even if death comes

10. Even if old age comes
Even if I die

11. So bear witness, O meadows
And bear witness, O sky

12. That we will never sell
Except this blood

13. And we will don the shields again
And let destiny take its course

14. Long live the nation
For all time

15. We will never disgrace
Never ever
