Kaut Ferdinants ir nošauts
Though Ferdinand has been killed
Viņš paliks mūžam dzīvs
He will forever be alive
Ja kāds ir citās domās
If anyone things different
Tas paliks auksts un stīvs
They'll stay cold and stiff
Plīv ielās sēru lentes
Mourning ribbons flutter in the streets
Aust tumšos toņos rīts
The morning dawns in dark tones
Un skimstošajai tautai
*Even the dogs howl
Pat suņi gaudo līdz
Along the sorrowful nation
Ak Austrija ak Austrija
Oh, Austria, Oh, Austria
Beidz krogos alu dzert
Stop drinking beer at pubs
Steidz lielgabalus pielādēt
Hurry up and load the cannons
Un visus gaisā spert
And blow everyone up in the air
Plīv ielās sēru lentes
Mourning ribbons flutter in the streets
Aust tumšos toņos rīts
The morning dawns in dark tones
Un skimstošajai tautai
*Even the dogs howl
Pat suņi gaudo līdz
Along the sorrowful nation
Jo Ferdinants ir miris
Because Ferdinand is dead
Viņš bija mūsu balsts
He was our bastion
Pie stroķiem sievas vīri
To guns, wives and men
Ir jāglābj ķeizarvalsts
The kaiser's country must be saved
