Alpine peaks, tyranny's shadow
Swiss hearts yearn to be free
William Tell, defiant arrow
Stands against authority
Gessler's hat high on a pole
Bow or face his wrath
Tell walks by, head held high
Choosing freedom's path
Nock the arrow, pull the string
Let the shaft of freedom sing
William Tell, your aim is true
Liberty depends on you
Arrow of Defiance fly
Pierce the apple, touch the sky
Swiss hero, forever bold
Your legend will never grow old
Father's love meets tyrant's game
Son stands brave and still
Crossbow raised, a nation's fate
Rests on Tell's great skill
Crowd holds breath, tension mounts
Arrow takes its flight
Apple splits, a perfect shot
Hope shines burning bright
Nock the arrow, pull the string
Let the shaft of freedom sing
William Tell, your aim is true
Liberty depends on you
Arrow of Defiance fly
Pierce the apple, touch the sky
Swiss hero, forever bold
Your legend will never grow old
Gessler's rage, Tell in chains
Stormy lake, boat strains
Leap to shore, freedom calls
Hunter now the prey
Through the woods, over hills
Tell eludes his foes
In Küssnacht's hollow, waits his chance
To end the tyrant's throes
Nock the arrow, pull the string
Let the shaft of freedom sing
William Tell, your aim is true
Liberty depends on you
Arrow of Defiance fly
Pierce the apple, touch the sky
Swiss hero, forever bold
Your legend will never grow old
From Uri's shores to mountain peaks
The tale of Tell still loudly speaks
Of courage, skill, and liberty
A beacon for all Swiss to see
Rise up, Swiss lands, break your chains
Let freedom echo through your veins
