Charles Martel, the day will come again - |
|
I'll see you lead the cavalry to chrage! |
|
Charles Martel, in the battle of Ambleve |
|
You dyed Malmedy blood-red! |
|
Tours recall the glory of your hosts, |
|
Thy fame is sung on harps with golden strings! |
|
The crescent moon you drove back to the sea |
|
Once and for all... |
|
Ans when the sound of battle horns |
|
Shall keenly fill the air anon, |
|
We'll rise with pride our banner high |
|
And answer to our king's call! |
|
Charles Martel, the day will come again - |
|
I'll see you lead the cavalry to chrage! |
|
Charles Martel, in the battle of Ambleve |
|
You dyed Malmedy blood-red! |
|
Tours recall the glory of your hosts, |
|
Thy fame is sung on harps with golden strings! |
|
The crescent moon you drove back to the sea |
|
Once and for all... |
|
Even when the horns of war |
|
Shall echo in the fields no more, |
|
When in tatters hangs our flag |
|
And empty be the throne of Franks |
|
We'll still keep watch by night to see |
|
Charles Marterl return again! |
|
Rest now my king but light be thy sleep - |
|
Thy foes still covet thy crown... |
|
Charles Martel, the day will come again - |
|
I'll see you lead the cavalry to chrage! |
|
Charles Martel, in the battle of Ambleve |
|
You dyed Malmedy blood-red! |
|
Tours recall the glory of your hosts, |
|
Thy fame is sung on harps with golden strings! |
|
The crescent moon you drove back to the sea |
|
Once and for all... |
