 
 
The iron fist on the lance shaft
The reins on the left
 
That’s how the Empire’s knighthood advances, and their swords are flashing
Heja, heja, heja! Heja!
And their swords are flashing.
Heja, heja, heja! Heja!
And their swords are flashing.
The cross pattee, in black it flies,
Forward on a white background,
Lost but undefeated,
That’s how it announces its message
Heja, heja, heja! Heja!
That’s how it announces its message.
Heja, heja, heja! Heja!
That’s how it announces its message
It flutters bright in the morning breeze,
And greets the borderlands,
Greets those who are our brethren,
In spite of humiliation and shame.
Heja, heja, heja! Heja!
In spite of humiliation and shame.
Heja, heja, heja! Heja!
In spite of humiliation and shame.
It flies ahead in knight’s dress,
And encourages us to fight,
For the lost glory,
Therefore, fly pennants, we ride.
Heja, heja, heja! Heja!
Therefore, fly pennants, we ride.
Heja, heja, heja! Heja!
Therefore, fly pennants, we ride.
