In the quarries my people work quickly and precisely,
One can notice fervour and honest involvement.
To work daily everyone stands ready, nobody leans nor steals,
all shackles and tools are always in ideal condition.
The works are carried out according to the plan- the marble here is of higher order
Fatalities – low, physical condition we monitor with examinations
Efficiency still increases, and independently from the race
Albeit on all work fronts the most durable remain the Germanic
We are all aware of the weight our toil has for the State,
thanks to which edifices will be erected to astonish the world:
Plazas, streets, straight roads, triumphal arches to emperors,
ports, temples, and statues and inns and brothels..
In them our remnants – labour of many and pride that'll live on
From this we source our strength, despite we won't leave a trace
Loyal and to the end faithful we will hammer the marble still
of which today as every day I hereby report - senior slave
