[English]

When a humble bard

Graced a ride along

With Geralt of Rivia

Along came this song

...

From when the White Wolf fought

A silver-tongued devil

His army of elves

At his hooves did they revel

...

They came after me

With masterful deceit

Broke down my lute

And they kicked in my teeth

While the devil's horns

Minced our tender meat

And so cried the Witcher

He can't be bleat

Toss a coin to your Witcher

Oh, Valley of Plenty

Oh, Valley of Plenty, oh

Toss a coin to your Witcher

Oh, Valley of Plenty

...

At the edge of the world

Fight the mighty horde

That bashes and breaks you

And brings you to mourn

...

He thrust every elf

Far back on the shelf

High up on the mountain

From whence it came

...

He wiped out your pest

Got kicked in his chest

He's a friend of humanity

So give him the rest

That's my epic tale

Our champion prevailed

Defeated the villain

Now pour him some ale

Toss a coin to your Witcher

Oh, Valley of Plenty

Oh, Valley of Plenty, oh

Toss a coin to your Witcher

A friend of humanity

Toss a coin to your Witcher

Oh, Valley of Plenty

Oh, Valley of Plenty, oh

Toss a coin to your Witcher

A friend of humanity

Toss a coin to your Witcher

Oh, Valley of Plenty

Oh, Valley of Plenty, ah-ah, oh

Toss a coin to your Witcher

A friend of humanity

...
