Alte Kameraden
Carl Teike
Old Comrades
Old comrades on the march through the country
Form friendships rock-solid and true
Whether in need or in danger
They always stick together anew
One attack follows another
Glory and honor shall bring us victory
Come on, comrades, reload freshly
That's our marching music
In the maneuver, the whole regiment moved
To the quarters of the next village element
And at the inn, the flirting
With the girls and the innkeeper's daughter
Laughing, joking, laughing, joking, today is today
Tomorrow the whole regiment is who knows how far
Comrades, yes, parting is our fate
So raise your glass and let's toast
Old wine gives youthful strength
For it tastes of the wine's lifeblood
We may be old, but the heart stays young
And the memories are powerful
Whether in joy or in sorrow
We remain faithful until death
Drink up and pour
And let us be old comrades
We may be old, but the heart stays young
Reveling in memories
Drink up and pour
And let us be old comrades
