Silver and gold
They can’t change a thing
If it is built in his heart
And forged
In the old songs
Ancestors’ tongue and sacred fire
Amber and silk
They can’t bring much joy
If a man isn’t free
In his own land
The sun and moon always shines brightly
Under the homeland’s wide sky
Herkus Monte
Was his name
Herkus Monte
The curse of Teutonic Order he became
Herkus Monte
Whoever will follow your path
Let him know this
There is no turning back
If the dam is broken and the water runs free
There’s nothing which can ever stop it!
The heart, it will tremble
The doubts, they will come
I became strong
Because once I was weak
And maybe it isn’t that hard to die anymore
If you know for what cause
But how many of us will dare
To give up the easy life to fight
How many will stand up
When their comrades are trampled in mud?
