| 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 |
