The sun rises in the East
Blinds the Batavi with a golden glow
The day is born
Brothers, take courage*
Swear your oath to Rome
Lift your heads
Let not your pride sail/leave you
Swear now to serve the emperor with your blood
A pact that leads us now to the [battle]front
Brothers, unite yourselves
Tie your fate to Rome
Lift your cup
Drink [from] the chalice of unity
I see the threat disappearing for good
The unity brings us prosperity
Brothers fight now
Honour the oath to Rome
Straighten your backs
Let your anger rage
The future of our sons
Is safe because of this pact
A pact made with the emperor
The mighty Rome
Sends me to the [battle]front due to the pact
I have nothing to fear
We are the elite of this legion
Istaevones*, one with Rome
Sons of gods on the Rhine
Hercules Magusanus
Forever we honor your name
