Reiterlied
Language: German (Deutsch)
Our translations: ENG
Hü! und hott! Hü! und hott!
geht mein Pferdchen erst im Trott.
Her die Peitsche! klapp und schwapp!
setzt es sich in Schunkeltrab.
Rein die Sporen! hopp! hopp! hopp!
Hei! nun geht es im Galopp!
Eure Degen bloß! hurra!
Wie das Wetter sind wir da!
In den Feind! Die Wunden blühn!
Brav, mein Pferd! Die Feinde fliehn!
Es lebe der Kaiser!
