Krähenfrass [English translation]

Once as I was walking on my own

I saw two crows hoarsely shrieking

One croaked: my friend

Where do you invite me today?

A soldier lies slain

In a ditch behind barbed wire

His blood is the same as the enemies'

A feast for the crow empire

It will be a good evening feast

I get the eyes, you get the nose

Then we'll evenly share the rest

With his hair cushion the nest

The skull is split with grinding

Two halves of the brain for you and me

No gallows in the wide world

Feed us like the wide field

Soaked with blood from a hero's chest

War is always a pleasure* for crows

We tear open the hero's chest

Death is always a pleasure for crows

The bare bones will be cleanly

Preserved for us** for a long time

And witness brightly from the dirt

Of the meaning and purpose of soldiers.
