Erschlagen (Landsknecht Lied) + (English translation)
Slain rests on a bloody rampart
the fierce host of enemies.
God was our helper.
Thanks to him in advance! Then shoot especially,
Thanks to him in advance! Then shoot.
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria.
The evil enemy made a bad mistake,
he comes to German lands,
would have burned our reeds
and Wipp desecrated, now I'm sorry for him
and Wipp is now sorry for being desecrated.
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria.
Our garments have been torn apart, burned to pieces,
the skin and blood bleeds from it
from the body.
Let it flow, pray and give thanks and cry,
let it flow, pray and give thanks and cry:
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria.
Now take the iron away from the enemy
and put his doublet on you,
so the knights tan.
And calls our friends to the grave
and calls our friends to the grave:
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria.
Victoria sounds all the shouts of joy,
through our strength and blood
is the enemy's arrogance.
Shattered and the land is free,
shattered and the land is free.
Victoria, Victoria, Victoria.
