Hü und hott! Hü und hott, geht mein Pferdchen erst im Trott. Her die Peitsche! Klapp und schwapp! setzt es sich in Schunkeltrab. Rein die Sporen! Hopp, hopp, hopp! Hei, nun geht es im Galopp! Eure Degen bloß! Hurra! Wie das Wetter sind wir da! In den Feind! Die Wunden blühn! Brav, mein Pferd! Die Feinde fliehn! Es lebe der Kaiser!

Gee up! Gee up! My horse starts off in a trot. Whip ready! Crack and slap! We're in the swing now. Use the spurs! Hopp, hopp, hopp! Yes, now we are in a galop. Unsheathe the sword! Hurra! Like the weather we are there! At the enemy! The wounds appear! Well done, my horse! The enemy are flying away! Long live the Emperor!
