Genghis Khan

They rode races with the steppe wind, thousand man
And one rode ahead that all followed blindly, Genghis Khan
The hooves of their horses rushed through the sand
They carried fear and terror through every land
And neither lightning nor thunder held them up
 
Geng-, Geng-, Genghis Khan
Hey, riders - Ho, riders - Hey, riders - On and on!
Geng-, Geng-, Genghis Khan
Up, brothers! - Swill, brothers! - Scuffle, brothers! - Again and again!
Send for vodka
Because we're Mongols
And the devil gets us soon enough!
 
Geng-, Geng-, Genghis Khan
Hey, riders - Ho, riders - Hey, riders - On and on!
Geng-, Geng-, Genghis Khan
Hey, men - Ho, men - Dance, men - Like always!
And one hears him laugh
Always laughing louder
And he empties the tankard in one swig
 
And every woman that he liked, he took into his tent
It's said that there wasn't a woman in the world who didn't love him
He fathered seven children in one night
And merely laughed at his enemies
Because no one could resist his power
 
Geng-, Geng-, Genghis Khan
Hey, riders - Ho, riders - Hey, riders - On and on!
Geng-, Geng-, Genghis Khan
Up, brothers! - Swill, brothers! - Scuffle, brothers! - Again and again!
Send for vodka
Because we're Mongols
And the devil gets us soon enough!
 
Geng-, Geng-, Genghis Khan
Hey, riders - Ho, riders - Hey, riders - On and on!
Geng-, Geng-, Genghis Khan
Hey, men - Ho, men - Dance, men - Like always!
And one hears him laugh
Always laughing louder
And he empties the tankard in one swig

"thousand man" => "a thousand of them" or "a thousand riders"

"And one rode ahead that all followed blindly" => "There was one riding ahead whom all followed blindly"

"They carried fear and terror through every land" => or "They brought fear and terror into every country"

I think the term "horsemen" would be more appropriate than "riders".
