Die Thälmann-Kolonne [English translation]

Spain's sky spreads out its stars

Over our trenches

And the morning already greets us from the distance

Soon we'll go out to a new battle!

The homeland is far

But we are ready

We fight and win for you, freedom!

We will not yield to the fascist

Even if he sends dense hails of bullets

Unparalleled comrades stand with us

And there is no backwards for us!

The homeland is far

But we are ready

We fight and win for you, freedom!

Beat the drum, ready the bayonet!

March forward! Victory is our reward!

With the flag of freedom, break the chains!

To battle, Thälmann bataillon!

The homeland is far

But we are ready

We fight and die for you, freedom!
