Beg for victory, liberty:
The warrior queen called to her,
Goddess of war and battles won,
The barbarous name of triumph.
Divination by the hare's run -
Beg for victory, liberty
In the hands of the soldiers led
By the mother of the people.
Many oppressors they slaughtered;
The queen made her daughter's rapists
Beg for victory, liberty
From the oncoming storms of men.
When the Romans defeated
The queen, she lay dying and then
The last words on her lips were to
Beg for victory, liberty.
