Jetzt hab' ich schon zwei Jahre lang In der verdammten Ki, Ko, Ka, In der Kasern gelegen. Nun schlage doch der Teufel drein, Kasernsoldat will ich nicht sein, Corporal, Sergeant, Hauptmann, Oberstlieutenant, Wir Soldaten wollen marschiren. Es wird uns ja die Zeit so lang In der verdammten Ki, Ko, Ka, In der Kasern zu liegen. Des Abends schon um halber neuen, Da ist mein Mädel ganz allein. Corporal, Sergeant, Hauptmann, Oberstlieutenant, Wir Soldaten wollen marschiren. Ich stieg wohl aus dem Fenster 'naus, Aus der verdammten Ki, Ko, Ka, Aus der Kasern zu kommen. Zu meinem Schatz wollt' ich die Nacht, Sie haben mich auf die Wach gebracht. Corporal, Sergeant, Hauptmann, Oberstlieutenant, Wir Soldaten wollen marschiren. Die Trommeln drummen: Kamrad, kumm! Aus der verdammten Ki, Ko, Ka, Aus der Kasern zu ziehen. Hurra! Soldaten zieh'n ins Feld, Soldaten gehört die ganze Welt. Corporal, Sergeant, Hauptmann, Oberstlieutenant, Wir Soldaten wollen marschiren. Nun lebewohl, du Teufelshaus, Ei du verdammte Ki, Ko, Ka, Kasern, die Fahnen wehen. Wir zieh'n zur Schlacht mit frohem Sinn, Mein Schatz ist Marketenderin. Corporal, Sergeant, Hauptmann, Oberstlieutenant, Wir Soldaten wollen marschiren.

Ara ja he passat dos anys al maleït Ki, Ko, Ka, a la caserna. Ara que hi vingui el diable, no vull ser soldat ras, caporal, sergent, capità, tinent coronel, nosaltres soldats, volem sortir de marxa. El temps se’ns fa tan llarg de restar al maleït Ki, Ko, Ka, a la caserna. Al vespre, a dos quarts de nou la meva noia es queda sola. Caporal, sergent, capità, tinent coronel, nosaltres soldats, volem sortir de marxa. M’he escapat per la finestra del maleït Ki, Ko, Ka, per sortir de la caserna. A la nit volia anar a veure el meu tresor, m’han portat al cos de guàrdia. Caporal, sergent, capità, tinent coronel, nosaltres soldats, volem sortir de marxa. Sonen els timbals: camarada, vine! Fora del maleït Ki, Ko, Ka, surt de la caserna. Hurra! Els soldats van de campanya, el món sencer pertany als soldats. Caporal, sergent, capità, tinent coronel, nosaltres soldats, volem sortir de marxa. Ara adéu, tu casa del diable, ei, tu maleït Ki, Ko, Ka, a la caserna onegen les banderes, anem joiosament al combat, el meu tresor és cantinera. Caporal, sergent, capità, tinent coronel, nosaltres soldats, volem sortir de marxa.
