Da liegt der Feinde gestreckte Schar
Language: German (Deutsch)
Available translation(s): CAT DUT ENG ENG FRE ITA LIT
Da liegt der Feinde gestreckte Schar,
Sie liegt in ihrem blutroten Blut.
Wie haut er so scharf, wie haut er so gut,
Der flinke Husar!
Da liegen sie, ha! so bleich und rot,
Es zittern und wanken noch, husch! husch!
Ihre Seelen auf seinem Federbusch;
Da liegen sie tot.
Und weiter ruft der Trompetenruf,
Er wischt an die Mähne sein nasses Schwert,
Und weiter springt sein lustiges Pferd
Mit rotem Huf.

Qui giace a terra la schiera dei nemici
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the German (Deutsch)
Qui giace a terra la schiera dei nemici,
giace nel suo sangue rosso sangue.
Come l'ha colpito duramente, come l'ha colpito bene
l'ussaro veloce!
Qui giacciono, ah! Pallidi e rossi,
tremano e barcollano ancora...
le loro anime sul pennacchio,
giacciono morti.
E se ancora risuona il richiamo del trombettiere,
asciuga la sua spada sulla criniera,
e ancora saltella lieto il suo cavallo
con gli zoccoli rossi.
