Tretet ein, hoher Krieger
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: CAT ENG FRE TUR
Tretet ein, hoher Krieger,
Der sein Herz mir ergab!
Legt den purpurnen Mantel
Und die Goldsporen ab!
Spannt das Roß in den Pflug,
Meinem Vater zum Gruß!
Die Schabrack mit dem Wappen
Gibt nen Teppich meinem Fuß!
Euer Schwertgriff muß lassen
Für mich Gold und Stein,
Und die blitzende Klinge
Wird ein Schüreisen sein.
Und die schneeweiße Feder
Auf dem blutroten Hut
Ist zu 'nem kühlenden Wedel
In der Sommerzeit gut.
Und der Marschalk muß lernen,
Wie man Weizenbrot backt,
Wie man Wurst und Gefüllsel
Um die Weihnachtszeit hackt!
Nun befehlt eure Seele
Dem heiligen Christ!
Euer Leib ist verkauft,
Wo kein Erlösen mehr ist!

İçeri gir soylu savaşçı
Language: Turkish (Türkçe) after the German (Deutsch)
İçeri gir soylu savaşçı,
Bana kalbini teslim eden sen!
Erguvan renkli mantonu ve
Altın mahmuzlarını çıkar!
Atını sabana sür,
Babama selam için!
Eyer örtüsünü asalet armasıyla (birlikte)
Ver ayağıma halı olsun.
Kılıç kabzan terk etmelidir
Bana altınını ve taşını
Ve o parıltılı kılıç
Artık ocak demiri olacaktır.
Ve kar beyazı tüy
Kıpkırmızı şapkanın üzerinde
Serinleten bir yelpaze olarak
Yaz vakti iyi gelir.
Artık mareşal öğrenmek zorunda
Buğday ekmeğinin nasıl pişirildiğini
Sosis ve doldurulmuş hindiyi
Noel'de nasıl keseceğini!
Şimdi ruhlarınızı teslim edin
Hazreti İsa’ya!
Bedeniniz satıldı;
Artık onun kurtuluşu yok!
