;English
:Beyond majestic mountains
:Across the emerald dale
:On march the ivory standard
:United we prevail
:From distant shores of Othard
:To lakes of Aldenard
:The light of mighty Garlemald
:For e'er our guiding star
:Beneath the lofty heavens
:With tired hands we toil
:In iron do we clad our hearts
:And cloudless are our souls
:Yet every trial suffered
:And every ally mourned
:Do bring us solidarity
:Our spirits stand untorn
:Behold the boundless legions
:Whose wings embrace the sun
:Their fire rains down upon the land
:Until their course is run
:By mercy of Lord Galvus—
:The pride within us all—
:Shall we be granted victory
:For glory, Garlemald
;Japanese translation
:雄大なる山脈より
:鮮緑の谷を越えて
:白き戦旗が行進せん
:団結こそ我らが勝利なり
:遥かなるオサードの海岸より
:アルデナードの湖まで
:強大なるガレマールこそ
:永遠に我らを導かん
:高き天の下
:我ら疲れし手で苦難を重ね
:心を鉄で鎧い
:我が魂には雲ひとつなし
:されど耐え抜きし試練の数々
:弔った同志のひとりひとりが
:結束を生み
:我が精神は折れることなし
:見よ　我らが無限の軍団
:その翼により太陽も隠れんばかり
:その炎が地に降り注ぎ
:征服が終わるまで
:ガルヴァス帝の慈悲により
:（そう我らが誇り）
:我ら必ずや勝利を手にせん
:ガレマールに栄光あれ！
