Translation of the song Augen gradeaus artist Erich-Weinert-Ensemble

Durch die Stadt marschierte uns're Kompanie

Our company was parading through town

und zwei dunkle Augen lachten - schön, ja schön war sie.

followed by two laughing brown eyes. She sure was pretty.

Sie ist unser Talisman,

She is our good luck charm.

Augen links so gut man kann,

We were eying her as best we could,

doch der Kommandeur voraus ruft:

but the commander called out:

Augen gradeaus!

Eyes front!

Unsere Gedanken war´n beim Marsch bei ihr.

All our thoughts were with her as we marched.

Jeder dachte ihre Blicke, die gehören mir.

Every one of us thought her glances were for him.

Sie ist unser Talisman,

She is our good luck charm.

Augen links so gut man kann,

We were eying her as best we could,

doch der Kommandeur voraus ruft:

but the commander called out:

Augen gradeaus!

Eyes front!

Als wir Ausgang hatten, sah´n wir sie zu zweit.

As we were dismissed, we saw her with a guy.

Unser Kommandeur ging Hand in Hand an ihrer Seit´.

Our commander walked hand in hand by her side.

Sie ist unser Talisman,

She is our good luck charm.

Augen links so gut man kann,

We were eying her as best we could,

doch der Kommandeur voraus ruft:

but the commander called out:

Augen gradeaus!

Eyes front!
