Ride of the Hussars
Text -
From across the land we come together, lancers one and all to the combat speed. Our King Jan Sobieski calls us forward, "Ride to crush the Turks, set Vienna free!" Day on day we ride o'er hill and mountain, Night on night we pray while on bended knee: "Holy Mary, though we be surrounded, confidence in Thee will bring victory!"
As we near our ranks soon grow in number, Fighters who will rid the oppressive foe. With the close of day we see the city, Muslim hordes encroach for a final blow. Word goes out the battle starts tomorrow, Turkish armies three hundred thousand strong. Our king serves the Mass with break of day light, we receive Our Savior upon our tongue.
From the sound of trumpets we like lightning mount our steeds for battle the whole day long. Our great leaders charge as warrior angels, Hosts of Christian warriors soon join the throng. Enemies of Christ cry, "Allah! Allah!" Though the sight of us fills their hearts with fear. ""Maria! Maria!" thunders from us, sweeping down we crush them with sword and spear.
Hour by hour the fighting fierce continues, followers of Allah soon run in fright. Pressing on to rout them by the Danube, Pasha's army soon yields to Christian might. Entering in triumph King Sobieski holds aloft the stirrup from Pasha's feet. One and all we shout for all the ages: "'Venimus, vidimus, Deus vicit!"
