Here’s the Lyrics.
(Original:
)
First Stanza:
There Roars a call like a thunderclap,
Like clashing swords and splashing waves:
To the Rhine, the Rhine, to the German Rhine,
Who wants to be the guardian of the river?
Chorus:
Dear Fatherland, don’t fear, be thine,
Dear Fatherland, don’t fear, be thine,
Firm stands and true, the Watch, the Watch at the Rhine!
Firm stands and true, the Watch, the Watch at the Rhine!
Second Stanza:
Through a hundred thousand it quickly flickers,
And everybody's eyes brightly flash;
The German, honest, pious, and strong,
Protects the sacred landmark.
[Chorus]
Third Stanza:
He looks up to the meadows of heaven,
Where his heroic forefathers glance down,
And swears with proud pugnacity:
You, Rhine will remain German as my chest!
[Chorus]
Fourth Stanza:
And if my heart breaks in death,
You won't become a Frenchman yet.
As abundant with water is your flood,
So is Germany in heroes' blood.
[Chorus]
Fifth Stanza:
As long as a drop of blood still glows,
A fist still draws the sword,
And one arm still holds the rifle,
No enemy will step on your shore!
[Chorus]
Sixth (Final) Stanza:
The oath rings out, the billow runs,
The flags wave high in the wind:
On the Rhine, on the German Rhine
We all want to be the guardian.
[Chorus]
