Husaren müssen reiten Überall durch Stadt und Land. Trara! Husaren müssen streiten Mit dem Pallasch in der Hand. Trara! Wie könnten wir verzagen [Ohne Geld und ohne Brot]1. Trara! Husaren müssen jagen Frohen [Mutes]2 in den Tod. Tralala! Trompeten und Posaunen [Schmettern uns so süß]3 und fein. Trara! Haubitzen und Kartaunen Brummen lustig zwischendrein. Trara! Wie könnten wir verderben Treu bei unsrem Feldgeschrei. Trara! Nur siegen oder sterben, [Kamerad, es]4 bleibt dabei. [Trallerah vivallallerah tra rah]5

Els hússars han de cavalcar arreu a través de ciutats i camps. Tralala! Els hússars han de batallar amb el sabre a la mà. Tralala! Com podríem descoratjar-nos sense diners i sense pa. Tralala! Els hússars han de llançar-se amb ànim joiós vers la mort. Tralala! Les trompetes i els clarins ressonen per a nosaltres tan dolços i gentils. Tralala! Els obusos i els canons brogeixen alegrament en l’endemig. Tralala! Com ens podríem malmetre tan fidels als nostres crits de batalla. Tralala! Tan sols vèncer o morir, camarada, resta convingut. Tralala, tralala, tra la!
