1. Why should I stay humble and subdued
When my soul aims high and my sword remains keen?

2. Shall I be shamed to live in my own lands
Content while my rights are treated mean?

3. Unless I've lost all love for brave combat,
My wits and wisdom shall stay quick and keen.

4. My soul is free, my heart is stout and bold,
My hand is mighty and my word supreme.

5. Say to the proud, they shall not reach their goal,
However bright the stars their course may gleam,

6. Unless they leave me to my just demands-
Else blood shall flow and bitter wrath shall stream.
