Light source
Land of sovereignty and land of peace
May sovereignty and peace unite there forever
You have lived among the nations

Declaimed by every tongue
For his soul, for his body
Your champion stood up
And I answered your call
and in my mouth
and in my blood
Your love shook light and embers
My brothers, let’s go
On the top
We will announce it to the world
That this is where we live
with the flag of
God, the country, the king.
