Their Patriotic Spirit

Their country suffers severely

Trampled by brutal invaders

Brothers and sisters’ lives crushed

Homeland smashed into oblivion

Brave soldiers are its lifeline

Together they defend

The soil which nurtures them

Safeguards their freedom

They fight for the country’s life

Ready to sacrifice theirs

Their courage galvanizes their rifles

Invigorates their bayonets

Their unyielding determination

Drives them forward

Until all intruders chased away

The lost lands recovered

Their patriotic spirit

Sustains their nation

Daunts the enemies

Moves the world
