|
A folk of cheeriness and strength |
|
content with the life they lived |
|
So-called barbarians yet with eyes cleared |
|
for what they truly need and what damn not |
|
|
|
free and plain |
|
|
|
Barbarians, farmers and savages |
|
counted as ignorant and uncivil |
|
But told to bow before the emperors throne |
|
they were at least not venal |
|
|
|
True and plain freedom - of this natures clan |
|
True and plain pride - of this Celtic clan |
|
True and plain dignity - Tegernako! |
|
|
|
Not for riches, not for sway |
|
not for economic benefits |
|
met they the emperors requirements |
|
for freedom can't be bought |
