Original text and translations

English text

1  The banners waving to battle call!
Brave boys to arms, brave boys to arms!
With music's strains, that so gaily fall,
Each heart soon warms, each heart soon warms.
While drummers and fifers with cheering sound,
March o'er the ground,
Foe in sight, we for fight prepare.

2  A patriot brave we can rightly prize
In freedom's band, in freedom's band;
Undaunted he the foe defies,
With sword in hand, with sword in hand.
And those who respond to their country's call,
For freedom fall, for freedom fall,
By the free, honoured be their grave.
