The evening casts long shadows Red sun is setting beyond the forest Kurbads is going to guard the bridge Where the swift blood river runs It's midnight and the ground starts to shake The Nine-headed ogre is heading here Look, Kurbads, that's a lot of heads there! Stopping by the bridge, ogre shouts: - "Kurbads, you ba*tard, let me pa** Your life is drawing to an end!" - "You better come and fight me here Because I have something for you": Strong hands and a brave heart Three stars which shine on my sword! Now hero strikes as hard as he can A few heads fall down Three new ones grow in place where the others fell
Ogre is going to ram him into the ground - "Your life ends here, you ba*tard!" - "Wait, give me a break to rest my hands That's the way true warriors fight For even rain and wind must sometime cease" From the jug, blood already overflows But brothers don't care, they sleep tight Kurbads hurls a mace to awaken them Let them hurry with the news for his mother Where Kurbads hacked, his mother kicked Now it's working Now it can be done Like a rotten trunk The Nine-headed falls Strong hands and a brave heart Three stars which shine on my sword Strong hands and a friend’s shoulder – the sun is rising!
