Husaren müssen reiten

(Sung text for setting by H. Esser)

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: CAT ENG FRE

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. 
Trara!
Husaren müssen jagen
Frohen Mutes in den Tod. 
Trallerah vivallallerah tra rah!

Trompeten und Posaunen
Schmettern uns so süß so fein. 
Trara!
Haubitzen und Kartaunen
Brummen lustig zwischendrein. 
Trara!
Wie könnten wir verderben
Treu bei unsrem Feldgeschrei. 
Trara!
Nur siegen oder sterben,
Kamerad, es bleibt dabei. 
Trallerah vivallallerah tra rah

Les hussards doivent chevaucher

(Sung text translation for setting by H. Esser)

See original

Language: French (Français) after the German (Deutsch)

Les hussards doivent chevaucher
Partout à travers ville et campagne.
Trala !
Les hussards doivent se battre
Avec l'épée à la main.
Trala !
Comment nous pourrions perdre courage
Sans argent et sans pain.
Trala !
Les hussards doivent s'élancer
Avec un esprit joyeux vers la mort.
Trala !

Les trompettes et les trombones
Sonnent pour nous si doucement et si délicatement.
Trala !
Les obusiers et les gros canons
Bourdonnent joyeusement tout autour.
Trala !
Comment nous pourrions nous gâter
Si confiants dans nos cris de ralliement.
Trala !
Seulement vaincre ou mourir,
Camarade, c'est entendu.
Tralala tralalera tra la !
