Salūs populī suprēma lēx estō!
Ense petit placidam sub lībertāte quiētem.
Sīc semper tyrannīs.
Audēmus iūra nostra dēfendere.
Iūstitia omnibus.
Montānī semper līberī.
He seeks with a sword quiet rest under freedom.
The people of the mountains are always free.
Let the salvation of the people be a supreme law.
Justice to all people.
Thus always <it happens> to tyrants.
We dare to defend our rights.
