K3 [English translation]

I swore an oath for the fatherland

To the devil's elite forces.

I fear neither the war nor god.

On the anvil of war with raw grip,

with discipline's hammer blow,

I leant to harden myself among hard conditions.

K31

We are glad where the sky is cooking.

We get energy from the lightning.

We are the rage of the firmament.

With the flap of wings we take swiftly off,

we cross lands, we cross seas.

Where the war is buring hottest, there we are.

K3

Oathsworn, airborne,

hear how the rotors turn.

Oathsworn, airborne,

a brotherhood of a chosen few.

And if I fall in battle

bury me with my beret on my head

together with my automatic rifle.

Tell my mother that when I died,

you saw how I smiled happily

and offered my life with discipline.

K3
