Husarenlied
 (Sung text for setting by C. Fischer)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT ENG FRE
Husaren müssen reiten
Überall durch Stadt und Land. 
 ... 
Husaren müssen streiten
Mit dem Pallasch in der Hand. 
 ... 
Wie könnten wir verzagen
Liebe schützet uns vor Not. 
 ... 
Husaren müssen jagen
Frohen Mutes in den Tod. 
 ... 

Trompeten und Posaunen
Tönen dann so süß und fein. 
 ... 
Haubitzen und Kartaunen
Brummen lustig zwischendrein. 
 ... 
Wie könnten wir verderben
Treu bei unsrem Feldgeschrei. 
 ... 
Nur siegen oder sterben,
Kameraden, bleibt dabei. 
 ...
