That’s how the last pagan Pecheneg1has returned to his Fathers
He lead his people to a new home2and won a hundred battles
He’s the son of the open plains, he won’t rebel anymore, now he’s at peace
Instead of kopjafas3now temples are dotting the land
And the Pecheneg people have found a new home
My eyes, now don’t lose your precious sight
Because the great king of this land and sky has set out
He’s coming with an army, sword and cross behind him
He’s spreading a new faith, he won’t let us to stay with our Sun
The people of proud eagles soaring on the winds of the plains
Guardians of the borders, the prized jewel of Hungarian lands
They aren’t performing sacrifices, they don’t worship the Sky Father anymore
Their wings are bound, they can’t hear the song of the Ancients
Words are useless, not even weapons can bring us victory anymore
So our good nation has to put on the chains of the slaves
Here, we’ll have to become Christians and subordinates
Otherwise we’ll have to flee, like sad, homeless indigents
Our leader on Earth, our Boar father, the star of the Pechenegs
Stand up and summon our cavalry to war!4
Or grant us peace, put on the sign of the cross yourself!
Our good leader, you have to decide what our fate shall be!
Not with the cross, but with our God
With our Ancients who are singing in storms
I’ll be with them, I won’t turn on them
I’ll stick to the faith of our Sky Father
The sky is reddish in the distance
Our creator is smiling around these parts
Bury me on the back of my horse!5
Raise a mound over my body!
