(Part 1)
Let fly this joyful song to court of Northland
and let bring good news among people:
the young Báthori now shines in Romule's vests,
then he has elected in Vatican's toga.
His honour growing but he carries it with virtue:
as it matches to royal house's dignity.
(Part 2)
O uncle, o nephew also, o blessed Poland!
Let God preserve both you for long centuries.
Either as glory of Sarmathy battling with invincible weapons,
either shining in deep religiosity.
As Steven carrying rightly the golden rod,
so the purple mantle rightly matching to Andrew.
