Hau Ruck [English translation]

Don’t always expect the worst

Your eternal whimpering makes you lose your mind

Pull up your sleeves

And take a deep breath

We‘re going to accomplish this

Defy your fear

Everyone on deck now

It’s about to be done

Spit into your hands

We‘re going to tackle this

Heave-ho!

In no time at all!

Grin and bear it

There is nothing to lose

But much to gain

Tighten your belt

Nourish your anger

The Devil takes the hindmost

Look ahead with determination

All together now

Pull the cart out of the mud

Our backs and our fists

Are only the means to an end
