Herkus Monte [English translation]

Silver and gold

They can’t change a thing

If it is built in his heart

And forged

In the old songs

Ancestors’ tongue and sacred fire

Amber and silk

They can’t bring much joy

If a man isn’t free

In his own land

The sun and moon always shines brightly

Under the homeland’s wide sky

Herkus Monte

Was his name

Herkus Monte

The curse of Teutonic Order he became

Herkus Monte

Whoever will follow your path

Let him know this

There is no turning back

If the dam is broken and the water runs free

There’s nothing which can ever stop it!

The heart, it will tremble

The doubts, they will come

I became strong

Because once I was weak

And maybe it isn’t that hard to die anymore

If you know for what cause

But how many of us will dare

To give up the easy life to fight

How many will stand up

When their comrades are trampled in mud?
