I love you, my homeland, and your love flows in my veins. I loved you with all my spontaneity, with all my free will, and with all my pride. My love for you will remain until I rise from my grave, and I will teach my children to love you; indeed, I will nurse them on your love. To you today, my homeland, I send a message of longing, even though I am on your pure soil, that my love and devotion to you grows stronger day by day. Just grant me the opportunity to prove my loyalty and devotion to you, for you are dearer to me than my own breath. Will you accept my soul and every drop of my blood as a pledge of loyalty and faithfulness to you
My beloved homeland, your features today shine in the bloom of youth and the prime of vigor. You, my homeland, walk today with dignity among nations. How often have you stood tall amidst the storms of the spiteful and the whispers of every wicked devil, and how often have you defeated the cunning of every malicious aggressor
