We Fought for Elsaß-Lothringen

Tune: Wir lagen vor Madagaskar


We fought for Elsaß-Lothringen,

But brought a shrill pest on board,

It rusted our culture like a cauldron,

And threw our dear Kaiser overboard


|: 'At once, at once!' say the comrades,

At once, at once!

'Farewell, farewell!', Your Majesty,

Farewell, farewell!

Just as we hear church-bells ringing aboard,

Yes the soldiers are lying in pill,

They yearn for the father-land that they deem,

The one now forsaken to their dream.

Their glorious Kaiser, they remember him still,

The guide of the land that they miß,

With a sigh he looks at it turn into steam,

Of this future, he's had his fill. :|


Our culture's languished a fortnight,

It's lungs are bereft of wind,

On our eyes fell a deadly blight,

No boards sparkling, no crown pinned.


A Junker of highest rapport,

Took a sip of liberal nice and tall,

The report said he died of 'hate speech',

But I think he was poisoned after all.


Some long time, the Kaiser came back,

Must have been a hell of a drive,

He hugs us, and our boots clack,

He cries 'our culture is still alive!'.


|: 'At once, at once!' say the comrades,

At once, at once!

'Farewell, farewell!', Your Majesty,

Farewell, farewell!
