Der Marsch ins Dritte Reich [English translation]

The Führer1 says: Now comes the last winter,

Don't collapse now, you must march!

The Führer drives at the front in a twelve-cylinder car.

March, march, march, march, don't lose contact!

It's a long way to the Third Reich.

It's unbelievable how it drags on.

The German Oak is a tall tree,2

From which to see the glimmer of hope.

The Führer says: Don't walk in rags!

He already told the industry:

We want to buy new uniforms.

Captain Röhm doesn't love us without them.3

It's a long way to the Third Reich

A little bit of love makes it half as hard.

The German Oak is a tall tree,

And the contact4 shall be comradely.

The Führer has said, he will live long yet,

And will get older than Hindenburg.5

He will get his turn, he doesn't worry.

And thus he doesn't hurry and because of that

it's a long way to the Third Reich.

It's unbelievable how it drags on.

The German Oak is a tall tree,

From which to see the glimmer of hope.
