folk of cheeriness and strength
content with the life they lived
So-called barbarians yet with eyes cleared
for what they [bad word] need and what [bad word] not

free and plain

Barbarians, farmers and savages
counted as ignorant and uncivil
But told to bow before the emperors throne
they were at least not venal
 [bad word] and plain freedom - of this natures clan [bad word] and plain pride - of this Celtic clan [bad word] and plain dignity - Tegernako!

Not for riches, not for sway
not for economic benefits
met they the emperors requirements
for freedom can't be bought
