@JustACopyCat Yeah especially difficult, if the author doesn't speak German to begin with lol

@SteinbrecherBack

well it's difficult to make a word for word translation work in a song. as long as the content and the meaning is translated you can grant some creative freedom

[SteinbrecherBack]

Chorus:

Therefore, left, two, three

Therefore, left, two, three

To where your place is, comrade.

Join the Worker's Unity Front

because you're a worker, too!

[SteinbrecherBack]

This would be the text (chorus in next post)

And because the human is human, he needs something to eat.

Talking doesn't get him full, it doesn't get him food.

Chorus

And because the human is human, he doesn't like boots in his face,

he doesn't want to see a slave beneath him and above him no master

Chorus

And because the proletarian is a proletarian, no other can free him,

the liberation of the workers can only be the work of the workers

Chorus

[SteinbrecherBack]

Also, ich muss ernsthaft sagen (und bitte nimm's mir nich übel)... die Übersetzung ist größtenteils ziemlicher Murks.

(in English:)

Quite honestly, I have to say that (no offence), the translation is for the most part really botchy.

SUPER!

"Das Werk der Arbeiter sein" - Also, nicht vergessen, nicht das Werk "Müntes", nicht das der Merkel oder der Roth und erst Recht nicht das des Westerwelles. Die Genannten sind was für Untertanen die ihre ureigene Sache nicht in die eigenen Hände nehmen wollen.

It is nice to have a translation, even if it is a rough one. My German skills are horrible as well.

Hannes ist nett !!
