English Translation
Verse 1:
On wings that span the morning sky, The eagle rides the mountain wind, No earthly chain can make it cry, Born free, with heaven's breath within. It soars above what holds us down, And wears the clouds just like a crown.
Verse 2:
To feel that rush of boundless flight, Where valleys shrink to tiny seams, The world spread out in pure delight, Beyond our wildest, earthbound dreams. What freedom must that eagle know, Dancing with the winds that blow.
