lyrics

Iogiwelīh wer mag inti scal quedan ‘‘Nein” zi zagaheiti inti wesan strang.
Each man can and shall say “No” to weakness and to be strong.

Mit baldī, wer ni scal habēn forhtūn, eban niheina forhtūn fon dōte.
With courage, a man shall not have fear, even no fear from death.

Iogiwelīh wer scal suohhen sīnaȥ ārunti furi ēra inti infāhan wuldar.
Each man shall seek his quest for honour and receive glory.

Zi thiu thaȥ her wirdit helid oba her habēt sigu. Wuldar sī sīn.
So that he becomes a hero if he has victory. Glory would be his.

Iogiwelīh helid scal wībēn wīb thie wili imo erbowartā geban.
Each hero shall wife a damsel who wants to give him heirs.

Altmāgā sīn gisālīge bithiu wanta iro kunni herafuri gangēt.
Forefathers would be happy because their lineage continues on.
