Die Feuertaufe
Kanonenfieber
The Baptism of Fire
To defend the homeland
Off to the front, into the war
That's what I've pledged on my banner
Ecstatically boarded the train
Victoriously we want to beat France
A roar resounds like thunder
Many meters ahead of the battle line
You can already hear the sound of grenades
The company is on standby
But I can't see no man's land
Flashes, roars the steel thunderstorm
World fire caused by artillery
The first mission is now at hand
Closely packed, man to man
Smell of death and explosive fumes
Wafts from the trenches to us
To defend the homeland
Off to the front, into the war
That's what I've pledged on my banner
Ecstatically boarded the train
Victoriously we want to beat France
A roar resounds like thunder
Many meters ahead of the battle line
You can already hear the sound of grenades
