So stay vigilant, guardians 
of the light, but take heed.
،لذا ابقين يقظات يا حارسات النور، لكن انتبهن
Also bleibt auf der Hut,
ihr Wächter des Lichts.
Guardianes de la luz,
estén atentos y sean cautos.
Guardianes de la luz,
estad atentos y sed cautos.
Défenseurs de la lumière,
gardez ceci à l’esprit :
Perciò state all'erta, voi che difendete
la luce, e ascoltate queste parole.
Então fiquem alertas, guardiões da luz.
Дорогие воины света…
