Zu Halle auf dem Markt, Da stehn zwei große Löwen. Ei, du hallischer Löwentrotz, Wie hat man dich gezähmet! Zu Halle auf dem Markt, Da steht ein großer Riese. Er hat ein Schwert und regt sich nicht, Er ist vor Schreck versteinert. Zu Halle auf dem Markt, Da steht eine große Kirche. Die Burschenschaft und die Landsmannschaft, Die haben dort Platz zum Beten.

In Halle, near the market
Language: English after the German (Deutsch)
In Halle, near the market, There stand two mighty lions. Ah, lion-strength of Halle town, How art thou tamed and brokeen! In Halle, near the market, There stands a mighty giant, He holds a sword and he never moves, He is petrified with terror. In Halle, near the market, A stately church is standing Where the Burshcenschaft and the Landmannschaft Have plenty of room to worship.
