The war drove our army south to fight an invincible foe 
 We were left without a choice, but it was our only hope 
 Fight now, fight hard, fight till the very end! 
 Our hopes were dashed when our flanks were crushed 
 Our blood turned stale and cold when we faced the giants of old 
 Fight now, fight hard, fight till the bitter end! 
    And now we're returning home to the lands of our fathers 
 Where up high in the clear blue sky the glorious falcons fly 
 We'll find last solace in the arms of our beloved wives 
 Just to see our children cry when we lay down   
 Although our fates were sealed and our dreams lie shattered 
 By the poison that courses through our veins 
 We burned the bridge on our retreat to buy the time we need 
 Our only hope is (that) our efforts were not in vain 
 Yet our fate was cruel to us as the fire spread to the forest nearby 
 In our haste to delay our enemy / the enemies' advance we've brought our country to ruin   
 And now we're returning home to the lands of our fathers 
 Where up high in the clear blue sky the glorious falcons fly 
 We'll find last solace in the arms of our beloved wives 
 Just to see our children cry when we lay down to die   
 By our blood and lives our families are spared 
 To set sail towards the distant shores of the lands to the north
