Proudly the stronghold's powerful walls are rising to the thundery sky.
Towers and flags are almost appearing to touch the mighty dark threatening clouds.
Built on a high elevation of rock - it never has been in the enemy's hands.
(Repeat first verse of two lines)
From the towers the iron-clothed knights are able to watch for miles and miles.
Built with the loss of hundreds of men - it must not fall into the enemy's hands.
(Repeat first verse of two lines)
From far away the watchers perceive the forward-movement of hostile troops.
Built of granite-blocks with hundreds of pounds - sweat and blood flow through many decades. Each soldier has sworn to defend it till death - it never will fall into the enemy's hands!
