Fredericus Rex

In Berlin Unter den Linden, there is a monument,
From our great King Frederick, whom every good German knows.
How many times have I been there, rain or shine.
And I kept thinking of these beautiful words:

Chorus: Great Frederick, descend and rule Prussia again.
Help our poor fatherland with your strong hand.
Great Frederick, come down and rule Prussia again.
In these miserable times, let the Chancellor ride on.

Frederick's old generals, oh how we needed them now.
Where our people are slandered and our armed forces are incited.
When Seintlitz mounted his horse, the whole gang took cover.
And then up to the rabble, yes we who once won from the bush.

Chorus:
Great Frederick, come down and rule Prussia again.
Help our poor fatherland with your strong hand.
Great Frederick, come down and rule Prussia again.
In these miserable times, let Scharping ride to the Balkans.

Then there's crying and gnashing of teeth for the whole rabble.
Then it's time to stop playing the game and let the cat out of the bag!
These are the scoundrels who are selling their fatherland.
Fredericus give the order, those guys should run the gauntlet!

Chorus: Great Frederick, descend and rule Prussia again.
Help our poor fatherland with your strong hand.
Great Frederick, come down and rule Prussia again.
All Germans stand ready for Prussia's old glory.

Chorus: Great Frederick, descend and rule Prussia again.
Help our poor fatherland with your strong hand.
Great Frederick, come down and rule Prussia again.
In these miserable times, let the whole pack go to hell.

Speech :
Germany is in a terrible crisis.
We live in an era that will decide everything and change the face of Europe.
Before making their decision, one must endure terrible coincidences.
But after their development, the sky clears up and becomes cheerful!
And no matter how great the number of my enemies, I trust in my good cause,
And the admirable bravery of the troops;
From the marshal to the youngest soldier.
The army attacks.
