Lyrics
"Battle Song of the Republic" (translation)
Onward, defenders,
your home is surrounded,
Drive away these harbingers
Of barbaric tyrannies.
Chorus
Take up arms!
Take up arms, unvanquished citizens!
Take up arms!
Who sends now this horde,
This torrent of beasts?
For whom have the vile chains
Of slavery, been prepared?
Chorus
May the enemy tremble,
upon seeing our ferocity.
An entire people resolved,
To live in liberty!
Chorus
Pledge now with solemn hearts,
an oath to the motherland.
You who have cut your shackles,
Must now cut down the invaders!
