Lyrics

Onward, defenders! (translation)

Onward, defenders,
your homeland 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
