Old value:: The Soldier's Song Soldiers are we, whose lives are pledged to Zardugal Some have come from a land beyond the wave, Some to be free, no more our ancient sireland Shall shelter the despot or the slave; tonight we man the Bearna Baoghal In Zardugal's cause. come woe or weal; 'Mid cannon's roar and rifle's peal We'll chant a soldier's song. We'll sing a song, a soldier's song With cheering, rousing chorus As round our blazing fires we thong, The starry heavens o'er us; Impatient for the coming fight, And as we wait the mornings light here in the silence of the night We'll sing a soldier's song Chorus In valley green or towering crag Our fathers fought before us, And conquered 'neath the same old flag That's floating o'er us, We're children of a fighting race That never yet has known disgrace, And as we march the foe to face, We'll sing a soldier's song
Current:

Ecghermintam Osteys sancteys Aùgustaneys, ed, cuyel pasintetzœ, curaghœ, estu salutatam, ho salutatam, Liberom! Augustan (Esperanto): Mi ekkonas vin laŭ la klingo de la glavo, la impona. Mi ekkonas vin laŭ la vido, kiu kun forto paŝas sur la Tero. Ekĝerminta de la ostoj sanktaj de la aŭgustanoj, kaj, kiel pasintece, kuraĝe, estu salutata, ho salutata, libero! Luthori (English): I shall always recognize you by the dreadful sword you hold as Terra with searching vision you survey with spirit bold From the Augustans of old whose dying brought to life and spirit free now with ancient valour rising let us hail you, oh Liberty! |

| Message | The amendment to the Soldiers Song has destroyed it. If you try singing it to the proper melody of the anthem it becomes a joke. |
