Languished in the hard captivity
you died a glorious death.
In the battle fought for the case of the people
you put down your head with honor.
Our enemy did not mock at you,
your ones were around you:
we ourselves closed down, brother,
your blue eyes.
No mourning oppressed our souls
no tears sat in our eyes
when saying farewell to you
gave over your body to the earth.
No, we were only fuelled by anger
to fight against our enemy again
and we swore above your body
to revenge ourselves on you.
