In Extremo lieb vaterland magst ruhig sein

Select language to translate this lyric

In the spring, when the flowers bloom
It's time for me to move
The down on my chin, too young in years
Hardly experienced first love
For fame and honor, for Fatherland
So I'm not afraid of death
Duty, it calls, to go into battle
So that it makes me a man
Now I'm going to a foreign country< br/>I hardly knew my own
The homeland is disappearing little by little
The brothers never returned
The thunder of cannons, firelight
Will be my loved ones
The flag flutters proudly in the wind
The heart beats quickly, I follow blindly
Dear fatherland, please be calm
Everyone dies alone
I am small, my heart is pure
No one can live in it, only death alone
The saber rattling is not far away
For God's sake, now it's time
I'm sorry for mother's tears
The tunic is mine proud dress
We rush forward, our hearts burn
And kill what we don't know
I laughed at all the death without a care in the world
What has the world made of me?< br/>There are weak groans from the trenches
Woe to him who has no friends
The boots are hard, the cheeks are pale
The wounds are red, the look is full of hatred
Then on blood-soaked earth
Doubt breaks its spell
In the end, my reward is mine
My head rolls in front of your throne
