Die Reise nach Jütland [English translation]

The journey to Jutland

seemed so difficult to me!

You, my sole lovely girl,

we will not see each other again!

You, my sole lovely girl,

we will not see each other again!

An early morning

the Captain called to report:

"Now we are off, off, comrades,

today we must be going!

Now we are off, off, comrades,

today we must be going!"

"Sir Captain, sir Captain,

why already today so soon?

It is just that it is Sunday

for us young people!

It is just that it is Sunday

for us young people!"

The Captain spoke softly:

"I have no guilt in that matter,

it is because the Colonel that leads us

has no patience!

It is because the Colonel that leads us

has no patience!"

The little boat on the Rhine

sways thither and it sways hither,

as if there in the far future

was no hope.

As if there in the far future

was no hope.

The journey to Jutland

seemed so difficult to me!

You, my sole lovely girl,

we will not see each other again!

You, my sole lovely girl,

we will not see each other again!
