Wer droht unserm deutschen Vaterland? Hurrah! Als wären die preuss'schen Soldaten nicht mehr da! Hurrah! Kamerad! Marsch, marsch! Kamerad! Das leidet kein preuss'scher Soldat! Hurrah! Wer war es, der Preussen einst groß gemacht? 's war Friedrich, der donnernde König der Schlacht! Hurrah! Kamerad! Marsch, marsch! Kamerad! Und mit ihm der preuss'sche Soldat! Hurrah! Wer erlöste im Siege bei Leipzig die Welt? 's war Friedrich Wilhelm, der standhafte Held! Hurrah! Kamerad! Marsch, marsch! Kamerad! Und der preuss'sche, preuss'sche Soldat! Hurrah! Die fränkische Macht ward bei Sedan zerschellt! Es tat Wilhelm der Große, mein siegreicher Held! Hurrah! Kamerad! Marsch, marsch! Kamerad! Und mit ihm der preuss'sche Soldat! Hurrah! O Wilhelm, mein Kaiser, so lieb und so teu'r, mein König, wann führst du uns wieder ins Feu'r? Hurrah! Kamerad! Marsch, marsch! Kamerad! Wie schlüg' sich der preuss'sche Soldat! Hurrah! Wann wirbeln die donnernden Trommeln empor und die Pfeifchen dazwischen zum lieblichen Chor? Hurrah! Kamerad! Marsch, marsch! Kamerad! Dann ruf' ich als preuss'scher Soldat: Hurrah! Wann prüfst du, mein König, die alte Treu', wann wird HOHENZOLLERN das Feldgeschrei? Hurrah! Kamerad! Marsch, marsch! Kamerad! Ich erglühe als preuss'scher Soldat! Hurrah! Und stirbt er für seinen König allhier, gibt ihm droben der größte König Quartier! Hurrah! Kamerad! Gute Nacht! Kamerad! Ich sterbe als preuss'scher Soldat! Hurrah!

Who threatens our German fatherland? Hurrah! As if the Prussian soldiers were no longer there! Hurrah! Comrade! March, march! Comrade! No Prussian soldier puts up with that! Hurrah! Who was it who once made Prussia great? 'Twas Frederick, the thundering king of battle! Hurrah! Comrade! March, march! Comrade! And with him the Prussian soldier! Hurrah! Who saved the world with victory near Leipzig? 'Twas Frederick William, the steadfast hero! Hurrah! Comrade! March, march! Comrade! And the Prussian, the Prussian soldier! Hurrah! The might of the Franks was shattered at Sedan! That was done by William the Great, my victorious hero! Hurrah! Comrade! March, march! Comrade! And with him the Prussian soldier! Hurrah! Oh William, my Kaiser, so dear and so valued, My King, when will you again lead us into the fire? Hurrah! Comrade! March, march! Comrade! How the Prussian soldier would bestir himself in battle! Hurrah! When will the sounds of the thundering trumpets rise upward And the little pipes among them to form a lovely choir? Hurrah! Comrade! March, march! Comrade! Then I shall call out as a Prussian soldier: Hurrah! When, my King, will you test my old faithfulness, When will "HOHENZOLLERN" become the battle cry? Hurrah! Comrade! March, march! Comrade! I glow as a Prussian soldier! Hurrah! And if he should die for his king here, The greatest King of all will give accommodation above Hurrah! Comrade! Good night! Comrade! I die as a Prussian soldier! Hurrah!
