The last to fall, the first to call

Veteran! Veteran!

Founder of cities, protector of lands

Veteran! Veteran!

Ode to longevity, ambassador of survival

Veteran

Compelled by reflections of life

Perceive its equations as a whole

Made a warrior by his own merit

Built on the foundation of limitless audacity!

Passion for discovery, knowledge and control

Repelled infesting turbans,

driven by feverous cross

This is the story of our land!

This is the tale of a veteran!

Deeply lined farsighted eyes

Pierce, through convincing lies

And if he's told to believe in them

He outlines a cynical smile

Born early, a premature child

Keen to war (no baby cries)

Ready to confront the raging vile

In his crusade for independence

Veteran! Veteran!

From mountain peaks to vast shores and seas

He wrote his fate

Led armies towards their native soil

From mountain peaks to vast shores and seas

He wrote his fate

Drove sultans to their native soil

Wake up from your well deserved rest

Concealed for eras

Dire threats have erupted

From below a perverse mantle

Not stirred by weapons of wood and steel

That you know only too well

But by greed, ignorance

And delirious cravings

Veteran

People are demoralized, helpless

Veteran

Raise a flag, lead the way

Summon your unshakable determination

Remember who you are

All the challenges you overcame

Although the flesh may have softened

Your bones will never break

And they'll beat the test of time

And resist until the end!

Veteran fight once more

Resist until the end!

Lead the way, raise a flag

Resist until the end!
