Long live the Republic

O full moon of the Eve:

When moonlight melts

From you tonight 

On my country,

Be partial to the

Lonely, dark bunkers

There yonder.

Drench the bunkers,

With sparkling light.

O rising sun

Of the Republic Day:

Be partial to the

Freezing heights yonder,

Give those that cling

To difficult ledges,

And ice-walls

Warmth and hope,

Give them a fistful of you.

Long live the Republic!
