| Vaterland (original) | Vaterland (translation) |
|---|---|
| Nieder stieg er zu den Brettern | Down he climbed to the boards |
| Laut und krnklich war ihr Flehn | Loud and sickly was her pleading |
| Einsam schwelt voll Wut der Retter | Alone, full of rage, the rescuer smolders |
| Und sein Wille brach die Seelen | And his will broke souls |
| Heimatrausch hoch liebstes Spiel | Heimatrausch high favorite game |
| Jeder frit aus seiner Hand | Everyone fries out of his hand |
| Stolz — treibt das Wort zum Ziel | Pride — drives the word to its goal |
| Klglich schweigt das Vaterland | The fatherland is pitifully silent |
| Vaterland Vaterland | fatherland fatherland |
