¹ People living beyond the river Oxus, in Turkestan: the place where the noisy music of the janissaries comes from.

A través de tot el soroll i el so

Language: Catalan (Català) after the German (Deutsch)

A través de tot el soroll i el so
dels Transoxians,
el nostre cant gosa ressonar
als teus camins!
I no té cap por
vivint a dintre teu;
que la teva vida sigui llarga
i que el teu regne perduri.
