1. Let the banners widely wave,
we want to assault
freely as lansquenets do.
Let the forlorn heap [vanguard]
lead the attack,
we are following tightly rallied.
2. We climb the walls,
we shatter the towers -
storming right into the town.
Whoever tries to hamper our running,
to set himself against us -
he shall go to hell.
3. Inside are, awaiting us -
if we capture the town -
lots of gold and jewels.
It will give us a merry life
in our camp
with dice games and wine.
4. Tightly close the rows,
let's go forward untiringly!
May fall whoever will fall.
If he can not follow us,
he may rest
until the Day of Judgement.
Explanation: It is a English translation of a German patriotic song -
"Weit laßt die Fahnen wehen"
“Loddfafnir, listen to my counsel: You will fare well if you follow it, It will help you much if you heed it. If aware that another is wicked, say so: Make no truce or treaty with foes.”
