9. Der tausendjährige Lenin  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: German (Deutsch) 
Tausend Jahre werden vergangen sein:
Aber immer noch
Wird einen Namen man nennen:
Lenin!
Aus vielen hunderttasusend Lenin-Ecken
Setzt sich zusammen die Welt.

Tausend Jahre werden vergangen sein:
Auf allen Kremeln der Erde
Wird die rote Fahne wehen
Und nachts von unten beleuchtet sein …

Tausend Jahre werden vergangen sein:
Keiner mehr wird die Namen kennen
Aller derer, die einstmals berühmt waren –
Nicht mal aus Büchern, nicht vom Hörensagen –
Aber ihn, Lenin, werden alle kennen,
Wie ein täglich Wort werden wir ihn beim Namen nennen,
Wir wenden ihn als rote Fahnen tragen
Um die Welt. 

Tausend Jahre werden vergangen sein –
Er aber wächst durch Zeiten und Geschlechter,
Wächst fort und fort –
Wie ein Baum, der unendlich verzweigt ist
Und dessen Wurzeln unter der Erde
Nach allen Richtungen hin reichen: 

Der tausendjährige Lenin!
