1. Should you not take pride, young man, and boast
One day of your precious, glorious homeland?

2. And be in it a master, not a servant,
Who shepherds, while strangers enjoy its bounty.

3. O you who will come after me, if you attain your wish
And live free in riches and glory,

4. Remember a young man who sacrificed himself for you
And refused a life of humiliation and comfort.

5. My homeland, which the foreigner coveted when he saw
Among my people so much sedition and foolishness.

6. Their passions killed their dignity; if only
They had been prudent, patience would have been greater.

7. So upon those who perished loving it
While it was neglectful of them, may God's peace be.
