|
The spirit of |
|
Prussia will burn in hearts |
|
Until the holy flame of |
|
Perkuno is burning |
|
In the heart of sacred woods |
|
Invisible for eyes of simple mortals |
|
The thunder announces the birth of the hero |
|
In nightly silence of the sleeping earth |
|
And the lightning's brightening the baby's face |
|
And his first cry that breaks the darkness. |
|
And fierce wind echoes the baby's cry |
|
And thrills the sky, anticipating the events |
|
Tears off the leaves from ancient trees, |
|
Rejoices the great omen. |
|
The new-born mind as blank paper, |
|
Clean, empty and light like the calm surface of water, |
|
As the grown sprout tears the air apart, |
|
Gathers dust of life on the fresh leaves. |
|
And with the long root absorbing dirt |
|
From all that are going to rotten near |
|
The sprout is hardening, it doesn't want to, |
|
But it will wither like those near that couldn't leave. |
|
Born to be |
|
Defender of |
|
Native Land |
|
Born to be rain, giving life |
|
Born to be free as a proud bird |
|
Flying in the sky |
|
Born to be stronger than the sword and the storm |
|
Born to be the river's flow |
|
Born to be boiling wolf's blood to be |
|
Flame of Hope |
|
Born to be himself amongst the lost souls |
|
The black hands of storm-clouds are clenching the sun |
|
The wind is bringing anxiety, thrilling the ear. |
|
Beyond the dark horizon the seed of war is ripening |
|
Bringing the smell of death. |
|
The warrior will fight for his people, |
|
For the rivers and forests of grey gods, |
|
For the holy flame of |
|
Perkuno The sunlight is fading... |
|
The day is dying away scratching the sky with its last rays |
|
The last quiet day before the war |
|
The last calm before the storm |
|
The ground is trembling already |
|
And Prussia stands still awaiting |
