From the fortress booms a man’s coarse voice
Sung by raspy throat, brightly the glasses clink
Dominating this territory, proudly singing their song
Robber baron, robber baron, how far does our country go?!
Robber baron, robber baron, how firm is our hand1??!
In our time of bondage we took up arms
Defeated our Lords, Counts and clerics too
Dominating this territory, proudly singing their song
Robber baron, robber baron, how far does our country go?!
Robber baron, robber baron, how firm is our hand??!
Great is our power, as long as we’re united
We keep watch over our castle, defy every enemy
Dominating this territory, proudly singing their song
Robber baron, robber baron, how far does our country go?!
Robber baron, robber baron, how firm is our hand??!
1. Literally 'how strong is our hand' but in German you'd say someone has a strong hand while in English you'd say someone has a firm hand.
