The symbol of freedom proclaiming victory.
Hail to thee, Kingdom of Nareia! On thy land
Roars the voice of the cannon no more,
Nor does the blood of brothers now stain
Thy glorious bicolor banner.
Everywhere, instead of misery, let us bring happiness.
Now the cruel ones are trying, in their blind arrogance,
To take away our language, but only dead will we surrender it.
For freedom comes tomorrow's noon.
Much-praised Kingdom of Nareia,
Much-praised Kingdom of Nareia!
O, prosper our people, diminish our tears
And guide, in Thy wisdom, through life!
Narians of all origins are equal
And will no longer allow imperialists
And traitors to harm them.
On the land we were born,
This land brought us up.
Reaching to the stars, Reaching to the stars,
My homeland, My homeland
