Esat kā vīri - Skyforger Übersetzung ins Englische

Esat kā vīri

[Be Like A Man]

Pec Ziemassvetku kaujam strelniekiem atputa nebija ilga,
23.janvari vaciesi sak uzbrukumu, lai atgutu nesen zaudeto Lozmetejkalnu.
Tas bija pasas asinainakas kaujas Rigas fronte.

30 gradu sals
Ledu kalts Lozmetejkalns
Celieties, strelnieki, elpot klust gruti
Frici surp gazes ladinus suta
Ta ka dobja aizkapa balss
Ierucas pirmais lielgabals
Un viesuluguns vel neredzeta
Jau pari jums drazas ka naves vetra
Visums piepildas arprata auriem
Liekas ar pasauli sodien bus cauri
Bet sakodiet zobus naida kvele
Jums janoturas sai zemes strele

Esat ka viri
Ka zemgalu karaviri
Esat ka viri sirdis savas no bailem brivi

Nak vacu kedes melnam masam
Klusedamas, sejam cietam un asam
Jaatgust tiem Lozmetejkalns
Asinis janomazga savs kauns
Zem vinu trieciena krievu dalas
Notric, celas un atpakal velas
Turieties, latviesi, jus nedrikstat gurt
Jo sodien si kauja jumsjaiztur!

Saujot parkarst sutenu stobri
Durkli cert miesas asinu robus
Lidz pedejai robezai uzvilkts viss speks
Tagad vai nekad vairs, cilveks klust zvers

Tur citur aiz makoniem spozi saulite spid
Bet seit tikai sals, sausmas un nave ik brid'

Esat ka viri
Ka isteni karaviri
Jums jabut ka viriem
Sirdis savas no bailem briviem

" Esat ka viri" - 5.Zemgales pulka kaujassauciens

Be Like A Man

[Be Like A Man]

After the Christmas battles, the Latvian Riflemen did not have much rest,
January 23rd, they started an offensive to retake the Lozmete Hill they had recently lost.
This was one of the bloodiest battles on the Riga Front.

30 degrees below zero
The ice-cold Lozmete Hill
Get up, Riflemen, it is hard to breathe
The Fritz sends clouds of poison gas
Like the hollow voice of the grave
The first shell hits
And unseen hurricane fire
The steel storm rages like a deathly wind
The whole world fills with the noise of madness
It seems as if the world will end today
But clench your teeth, filled with a burning hatred
You must hold on to this piece of land

Be like a man
Like the warriors of ancient Zemgale
Be like a man, your hearts free from fear

The German chains advance in a black mass
Silent, their faces grim and severe
They must retake Lozmete Hill
The shame must be washed away with blood
Under their onslaught, the Russian units
Fall back, rise again, and fall back once more
Hold on, Latvians, you must not give in
Because today you must win this battle!

The barrels of the machine guns overheat from firing
Bayonets tear through flesh, creating bloody wounds
All strength is stretched to its limits
Now or never, man becomes a beast

Somewhere beyond the clouds, the sun shines brightly
But here there is only cold, thirst, and death at every moment

Be like a man
Like a true warrior
You must be like a man
Your hearts free from fear

"Be like a man" - The battle cry of the 5th Zemgale Regiment
