Our translations: FRE
Jag har ingenting annat än min lysande mantel, min röda oförskräckthet. Min röda oförskräckthet går ut på äventyr i lumpna land. Jag har ingenting annat än min lyra under armen, mitt hårda strängaspel; min hårda lyra klingar för folk och fä på öppen väg. Jag har ingenting annat än min högburna krona, min stigande stolthet. Min stigande stolthet tar lyran under armen och bugar farväl.
