See oli aastal '14 kui langes vere hind
It was on the year '14 when the price of blood fell
Ja laipu ootas sõda ja kuuli ootas rind
And the war waited for corpses and the chest waited for a bullet
Adra tagant ära kisti noor ja tugev mees
Young and strong men were dragged away from the plows
Põllud ligunesid põllumehe vere sees
The fields were drenched in farmers blood
Ja nägupidi mullas kõik need mehed paremad
And in the soil, all the best men were lying on their faces
Teenisid seal keisrit jumalat ja isamaad
There they served the emperor, god and the homeland
Nende veri maasse imbus ühtus leivaviljaga
Their blood seeped into the soil and became one with the bread grain
Sellest viljast tehtud leib oli vere maitsega
The bread made from that grain tasted like blood
See oli aastal '39
It was on the year '39
Kui Hitler mõtles aeg on peale hakata
When Hitler thought it was time to start
Ja terve maailm muuta suureks Saksamaaks
And to transform the world into one big Germany
Ja ise saada maailma kuningaks
And make himself the king of the world
Jällegi siis nägupidi mullas miljon meest
Again there are about a million men lying in the soil
Läksid surma füüreri luulude eest
They went to death for the fuhrers delusions
Jälle adrad sulatati kuulipildujaiks
Once again, the plows were thawed into machine guns
Elavjõud kõik kulutati üheksandaks maiks
All the livelihood was spent on the ninth may
Kõlab siis hurraa üle maa:
Hurray is heard all over the land:
Sõda lõppend algamas rõõmuaeg
The war has ended, the happy times are beginning
Põllud jälle üles hariti
The fields were again
Käes on vaheaeg enne järgmist vaatust
Its time for a break before the next act
Uueks sõjaks valmistumisaeg
Preparation time for a new war
