Original lyrics
Nachts steht Hunger
Nachts steht Hunger starr in unserm Traum,
Tags die Schüsse knallen her vom Waldessaum.
Elend hält mit den Kolonnen Schritt,
Und in Frost und Nebel ziehn die Wölfe mit.
Noch fliegt Russlands heiliger Adler
Mütterchen unser Blut gehört nur dir,
Mag das rote Heer uns auch jagen,
Leuchtend steht noch immer das Panier.
Ach, dahin ist stolze Macht,
keine Glocken klingen durch die rote Nacht.
Postenschritte, keine Freiheit mehr,
hinter Stacheldraht steht stumm ein müdes Heer-
Einer singt die alten Lieder,
lockt uns Schwermut und Sehnsucht aus der Brust,
wild und trotzig klingt es wieder,
im Vergessen liegt die alte Lust.
Und als Heer, das keine Heimat hat,
ziehn wir ausgewiesen nun von Stadt zu Stadt.
Menschen kommen, hören unser Lied.
Weiter geht die Fahrt, der Ruhm uns Sinnlos blüht.
Heimat, Heimat! summen die Chöre,
tausendfältig ersteht uns neu dein Bild,
Glockenläuten unsre Tenöre,
Orgelbässe klingen dumpf und wild.

By Night Hunger Lies
By night hunger lies frozen in our dreams,
By day the shots pound from the edge of the forest.
Misery keeps pace with the columns,
And the wolves come along through frost and fog.
Russia's sacred eagle is still flying
Motherland, our blood belongs to you alone,
Although the red army may be chasing us,
Our banner still stands lucent.
Oh, our proud power is lost,
No bells ring through the red night.
Guard steps, no more freedom,
A weary army stands speechless behind barbed wire
Someone sings the old songs,
Attracts melancholy and yearning out of our chests,
It sounds again, wild and truculent,
the old desire is buried in oblivion.
And as an army with no homeland,
We now go, exiled, from city to city.
People come, they hear our song.
The journey continues, glory blooms pointlessly.
Homeland, homeland! the choirs hum,
Your image arises anew in us a thousand times,
Our tenors ring bells,
Organ basses sound hollow and wild.
