The pains have disappeared
Since from oppressed hearts
No more sighs echo.
So rejoice greatly, you Germans,
For the accursed whip
Has snapped at last.

Look at how the creatures of France
Made Germany's fields
Into a bloody altar!
The bloody hyena
Gobbled up Hermann's noble sons
For more than twenty years.

Millions of people were affected
By the thunder of the cannons
And reduced to misery.
Towns large and small were laid
Waste, there were death cries,
Satan's brainwave.

This monster used
Murder and fire to spread
Despair all around.
It appeared that crowns
As well as nations were
Subject to the heavy wrath of God.

In order to save humanity
From its chains of slavery
The band of brothers arose.
Franz, Wilhelm, Alexander
Competed with each other
For the benefit of the fatherland.

But Austria's good Emperor
Proposed for the victorious travellers
The palm of peace.
Instead of happily offering his hand,
In order to achieve the wished for peace
He remained deaf to the tyrant's ear.

They come from their states
As avengers of evil deeds
To build Germany's peace.
They come for battle, they are victorious,
And the remains of France flee,
Vanquished, back to their homeland.

The battle has now been decided.
Soon, soon peace will appear
In heavenly form.
So rejoice greatly, you Germans,
For the accursed whip
Has snapped at last.
