Kampfmüd' und sonn'verbrannt
Language: German (Deutsch)
Kampfmüd' und sonn'verbrannt, Fern an der Heiden Strand, Waldgrünes Thüringland, Denk' ich an dich. Mildklarer Sternenschein, Du sollst mir Bote sein, Geh, grüß' die Heimat mein, Weit [über]1 Meer! Feinden von allerwärts, Trotzt meiner Waffen Erz; Wider der Sehnsucht Schmerz Schirmt mich kein Schild. Doch wie das Herz auch klagt, Ausharr' ich unverzagt: Wer Gottes Fahrt gewagt, Trägt still sein Kreuz. Drüben am Belusbach Ist schon die Vorhut wach; Heut noch klingt Speerestrach Durch Kisons Flur. Horch, wie die Hähne krähn! Heut bleibt das Frühmal stehn, Heut, werter Sarazen, Hau'n wir uns satt!

Battle‑weary and sunburnt
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
Battle-weary and sunburnt, far away by the heathen shore - forest-green Thuringia - I think of you. Mild and clear starshine, you shall be my messenger; go, greet my homeland far beyond the sea! Enemies on every side my bronze weapons defy; but against the pain of longing there is no shield to protect me. Yet however my heart laments, I endure without despair: he who braves God's crusade must bear his cross in silence. Over there, by the Belus brook, the vanguard has already awakened; today the sound of smashing spears rings out again through the fields of Kishon. Hark! how the roosters crow! Today breakfast will sit [uneaten] [for] today, worthy Saracens., we shall hew our fill.
