Chor
Doch seine Ströme sind jetzt rot
Von Menschenblut,
Es wütet fürchterlich der Tod;
Er schreitet durch die blumigen Wiesen
Verheerend mit den ehernen Füßen.
O Land der Sonne, wessen Schritt
Geht über deinen Boden,
Wirft deine Pfeiler um, zertritt
Die Göttersäulen und Pagoden?
Er ist's, er ist's von Gazna,
Er naht in seinem grimmen Zorn!
Chor der Eroberer
Gazna lebe, der mächtige Fürst!
Chor der Inder
Es sterbe der Tyrann!

Mais ses flots étaient maintenant écarlates
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Chœur
Mais ses flots étaient maintenant écarlates
De sang humain,
La mort était en furie de manière épouvantable :
Il avançait à travers les prairies en fleurs
Dévastant tout de ses pieds d'airain.
Ô terre du soleil, quels pas
Marchent sur ton corps,
Jette à bas ton pilier, piétine
Les colonnes des dieux et les pagodes ?
Il est là, il est là celui de Gazna,
Il s'approche dans sa terrible colère !
Chœur des conquérants
Vive Gazna, le puissant prince !
Chœur des Indiens
Mort au tyran !
