The Panzer Song

♦ AUDIO ♦ Instrumental Original Version Battle of Bulge Version Instrumental Remix

♦ LYRICS ♦ German Lyrics English Lyrics Ob's stürmt oder schneit, ob die Sonne uns lacht Der Tag glühend heiß, oder eiskalt die Nacht Verstaubt sind die Gesichter, doch froh ist unser Sinn, ja, unser Sinn Es braust unser Panzer im Sturmwind dahin! Es braust unser Panzer im Sturmwind dahin! Mit donnernden Motoren, geschwind wie der Blitz Dem Feinde entgegen, im Panzer geschützt Voraus den Kameraden, im Kampfe stehn wir allein, stehn wir allein So stoßen wir tief in die feindlichen Reih'n! So stoßen wir tief in die feindlichen Reih'n! Wenn vor uns ein feindlicher erscheint Wird Vollgas gegeben und ran an den Feind Was gilt denn unser Leben für uns'res Reiches Heer? Ja, Reiches Heer Für Deutschland zu sterben ist uns're höchste Ehr' Für Deutschland zu sterben ist uns're höchste Ehr' Mit Sperren und Minen hält der Gegner uns auf Wir lachen darüber und fahren nicht drauf Und droh'n vor uns Geschütze versteckt im gelben Sand, Ja, gelben Sand Wir suchen uns Wege, die keiner sonst fand! Wir suchen uns Wege, die keiner sonst fand! Und läßt uns im Stich einst das treulose Glück Und kehren wir nicht mehr zur Heimat zurück Trifft uns die Todeskugel, ruft uns das Schicksal ab, ja, Schicksal ab Dann wird unser Panzer ein ehernes Grab! Dann wird unser Panzer ein ehernes Grab! Whether it storms or snows, whether the sun smiles on us The day burning hot, or ice cold the night Dusty are our faces, but joyful is our mind, yes, our mind Our tank roars there in the storm's wind Our tank roars there in the storm's wind With thundering engines, as fast as the lightning Against the enemies, sheltered in the tank Ahead of our comrades, in battle we stand alone, we stand alone So we push deep in the enemy's ranks So we push deep in the enemy's ranks If a hostile tank appears before us Full throttle and run at the enemy (orders) will be given What do our lives matter for our Reich's army? Yes, Reich's army To die for Germany is our highest honor To die for Germany is our highest honor With obstacles and mines the opponent holds us up We laugh about it and don't drive upon them And guns threaten before us, hidden in the yellow sand, yes, yellow sand We search our way that none other found We search our way that none other found And if we're left behind by treacherous luck And if we can't return back home anymore If Death's bullet finds us, and calls our fate away, yes, fate away Then our tank will become an honored grave! Then our tank will become an honored grave!
