the peat bog soldiers

[MrSchalkoholic]

Wir sind die Moorsoldaten und ziehen mit dem Spaten ins Moor .

It is one of the german folksongs ever. Maybe die gedanken sind frei is a

little bit bigger

[platanone]

Super! Thank you to post this song.

[Orpheus200]

this song wants to touch its audience. Therefor it's ok and at least necessary to translate it, I think.

I like this version, because of the instruments. They create a new atmosphere. Mainly the flute expresses the persuit of freedom.

[pissingofftyler]

But isn't the whole purpose of folk music to relate one's culture into the songs of cultures past?

[chitenshino]

My opinion is that traditional songs must be heard in the original language, but a translation is important, too.

I love this song, but I think the german version is much better.

[KarabinerM1898kurz]

its Orginally from the german song Moorsoldaten but the englisch copy ist much better

[minitrapper]

I disagree. Nothing's better than the Wader-version

[KarabinerM1898kurz]

can you send me the lyrics . iam pretty good at englisch but i understand in this song only few words

[ef200]

Rousing version of a great song.
