Kote!

Kandosii sa ka’rta, Vode an.
Corrusanta a’den mhi, Vode an.
Bal kote, darasuum kote,
Jorso’ran kando a tome.

Aruetyc runi trattok’o.

English Translation

Glory!

One indomitable heart, Brothers all.
We, the wrath of Corrusanta, Brothers all.
And glory, eternal glory,
We shall bear its weight together.
Forged like the saber in the fires of death, Brothers all.

Those who stand before us light the night sky in flame.
Our vengeance burns brighter still.
Every last traitorous soul shall kneel.

Those who stand before us light the night sky in flame.
Our vengeance burns brighter still.
Every last traitorous soul shall fall.
