Roland zu Bremen
 (Sung text for setting by C. Sinding)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Roland, der Ries', am 
Rathaus zu Bremen 
Steht er im Standbild 
Standhaft und wacht.  

Roland, der Ries', am 
Rathaus zu Bremen 
Kämpfer einst Kaisers    
Karls in der Schlacht.  

Roland, der Ries', am 
Rathaus zu Bremen 
Männlich die Mark' einst 
Hütend mit Macht.  

Roland, der Ries', am 
Rathaus zu Bremen 
Wollten ihm Welsche 
Nehmen die Wacht.   

Roland, der Ries', am 
Rathaus zu Bremen  
Wollten ihn Welsche 
Werfen in Nacht.  

Roland, der Ries', am 
Rathaus zu Bremen   
Lehnet an langer   
Lanz' er und lacht.    

Roland, der Ries', am 
Rathaus zu Bremen   
Ende ward welschem 
Wesen gemacht.  

Roland, der Ries', am 
Rathaus zu Bremen 
Wieder wie weiland  
Wacht er und wacht!
