by Friedrich Martin von Bodenstedt (1819 - 1892)

Die Zuaven sind ein besonderes Corps
Language: German (Deutsch) 
"Die Zuaven sind ein besonderes Corps, 
Tigeraffen zu sehen glaubt man; 
Doch hoff' ich, Ihr fürchtet Euch nicht davor . . . "
  --  J, Gott bewahre, Herr Hauptmann!  --  

"Sie springen mit lautem Gebrüll heran, 
Wilde Thiere zu hören glaubt man; 
Doch hoff' ich, Ihr kehrt Euch nicht daran . . . " 
  --  J, Gott bewahre, Herr Hauptmann!  --  

"Mit sicherm Blick und fester Hand 
Leicht ihres Muths beraubt man 
Die Kerle.  Haltet ruhig Stand!"
  --  Das thun wir sicher, Herr Hauptmann!  --  

"Doch springen sie nun wie Tiger heran . . . " 
  --  Laß sie nur springen, Herr Hauptmann!  --  
"Mit wildem Geheul:  Was thut Ihr dann?" 
  --  Wir schlage sie nieder, Herr Hauptmann!
