>>796 Translation
Well comrades, mount the horses, the horses,
run to the field, run to freedom,
the field's where a man is still worth something
there the heart is still being weighted!
There, no other stands up for him,
on his own he stands there all alone.
There, no other stands up for him,
on his own he stands there all alone.
From the world the freedom has disappeared
You only see masters and servants,
The falseness rules, the deceitfulness
with the cowardly human race.
Who can look death into its countenance,
The soldier alone is the unbound man.
Who can look death into its countenance,
The soldier alone is the unbound man.
The fears of life, he throws them away,
has nothing to fear or to worry,
He boldly rides against destiny
If it doesn't hit today, it hits tomorrow!
And if it hits tomorrow, so let us now
still sip at the end of this delicious time!
And if it hits tomorrow, so let us now
still sip at the end of this delicious time!
On the rapier's tip the world now lies
Thus he's happy, who masters the rapier!
And if you only stay bravely as one,
You overcome the fortune and reign!
There is no crown so firm and so high,
the courageous Springer still reaches it.
There is no crown so firm and so high,
the courageous Springer still reaches it.
