We are the lights of intelligence,
We are the good news of the times.
We are the scouts of the fatherland.

By knowledge and virtues,
By nobility of character,
We are the scouts of the fatherland.

By purity in deed and thought,
By sublime qualities.
By the forces we prepare
For the fatherland to be great.
We are the scouts of the fatherland.

By sacrificing ourselves
That the fatherland may live for ever,
Free and powerful,
Honored and firm.
We are the scouts of the fatherland."
