Hymn of the Legionary Youth

Hymn of the Legionary Youth

Holy young Legionary,
With a chest having the quality of iron and a soul like a lily
Unbridled he rushes in spring,
With a forehead like a Carpathian waterfall,
With arms going up in the sun
[An] eternal Iconostasis;
We built it from rocks, from fire, from the sea
And stoutly we daubed it with Dacian blood...

The Guard, the Captain
We transformed into iron hawks
The Country, the Captain
And the Archangel from heaven.

Death, only death Legionary
It is the most costly wedding of weddings,
For the holy cross, for the country
We will defeat the forests and make the mountains obey.
There is no prison that can scare us
No pain, no enemy storm;
If we all fall, struck in the forehead,
Death is dear to us for the Captain!

The Guard, the Captain
We transformed into iron hawks
The Country, the Captain
And the Archangel from heaven. :l

Holy young Legionary,
We build up churches and stay brave in prison...
In persecutions all who are bitter
Sing and think of the Nicadori,
We carry in blizzard and in sun
Lights for victors,
For the brave we build altars
And for traitors we have only bullets !

The Guard, the Captain
We transformed into iron hawks
The Country, the Captain
And the Archangel from heaven.
