Having once been well-born.
Let us not forget our Race and our Faith;
Let us not be born in vain
Amongst a race that is Free!
Any man that has regard for himself
How could be remain idle?
Each man should be anxious and strive,
So that all should be prepared!
With a nation that is without Love and Unity,
No work undertaken could bear any friut:
And if the nation is disintegrated and ruined,
How may the individuals thereof hope for happiness.
Should Strangers come and rule over us.
They will surely order and drive us;
They will oppress us from morn till night
As is the custom with masters.
Think not that they will have regard for our Position or our Name,
Nor can we hope that they will respect our Birth:
So, not only should we be weary and burdened,
But also should we stand ashamed before the whole world!
Therefore, comrades, let us be loyal (to our King),
And be true to our Nation and our Faith;
Let us lay down our lives without regret,
That we may preserve the Freedom of the Free!
Let us stand well united,
And we shall surely withstand all foes;
Let us ever be bold, and make up our minds,
To remain Free till the end of Earth and Sky! |
