Riding to |
|
Hastings, |
|
Treading the stone |
|
Wretched of forces for the last war |
|
Harold arrived in time |
|
To stop the enemy's ride |
|
Near to defeat, he should collide |
|
With all William's ardour before he dies |
|
But his stubbornness gave him the strength |
|
To fight for a future gain |
|
Exploits and bloodshed stained those lands |
|
The scream of heroes still resounds over the battleground |
|
Waves of defenders armed with steel |
|
Led by the |
|
Norman to |
|
Telham Hill |
|
Were ready to pass through the |
|
Bridge of |
|
Spears And to face the growing fears |
|
Holy clouds darkened the sky |
|
When the kings delivered these blessed words: "Brothers in battle, this war could be the way of no return" |
|
But this hardness soothed the hearts |
|
Silence preceded the harrowing wait |
|
Men were praying |
|
God Holy defenders of faith |
|
Held the ties of loyalty |
|
Aware of a glorious death |
|
They decided to face the threat , standing the pain with grandiose pride |
|
Holders of power relive |
|
Remembered through the women's cry |
|
Away from home |
|
They decided to face their fate towards the torment of their sacrifice |
|
Ante lucem acies trucies |
|
Processerunt sine metu |
|
Duo duces paraverunt rationes proximae pugnae "Profundite vitam pro nostro domino" |
|
And the darkness flooded their hearts |
|
Silence preceded the harrowing wait |
|
Men were praying |
|
God Holy defenders of faith |
|
Held the ties of loyalty |
|
Aware of a glorious death |
|
They decided to face the threat , standing the pain with grandiose pride |
|
Holders of power relive |
|
Remembered through the women's cry |
|
Away from home |
|
They decided to walk the way |
|
Raising the flag of the reign ([choir:] RAISING THE FLAG) |
|
Nourishing few consolations inside |
|
But ready to face the torment of their sacrifice |
