Kaiserjägerlied

We hunters raise our voices
With a mighty, joyful song
And it’s meant for everyone
Scattered in the North and South

In the East and in the West
Where our flag is flying high
We count among the best
As long as loyalty stands strong!

When you see us, everyone says
And all run and flee
Here come the Kaiser Hunters
From the First Regiment!

When we march out
Into the wide, open field
And drill there with pride
It pleases everyone well

The girls watch us
Always with delight
And every one of them
Wants to be with a hunter tonight

At night there’s a fine party
Where everyone runs around
We are the Kaiser Hunters
From the First Regiment!

When we stand before the enemy
With chests puffed out with pride
Everything must shatter
In our fighting spirit

There’s no backing down for us
We stand man for man
Strong as the German oaks
That no one can break

Even if some fall
With a bullet burning in their heart
They die as Kaiser Hunters
From the First Regiment!
