Thank you, you strong individuals,
Who rode out the storm on your own,
Who didn’t obey that state’s mandate
And didn’t fear going alone.

Oh, how happy they were, those officials,
To see millions of people obey,
Jamming themselves all together
Like ants who had nothing to say.

Thank you, you strong individuals,
Who followed self-thinking for you,
Who didn’t obey the state’s mandate
And to your own judgment were true!
