Husaren müssen reiten
Überall durch Stadt und Land.

Mit dem Pallasch in der Hand.
Trara!
Wie könnten wir verzagen
Ohne [Geld]1 und ohne Brot.
Trara!
Husaren müssen jagen
Frohen [Mutes]2 in den Tod.
Tralala!
Trompeten und Posaunen
Schmettern uns so [süß]3 und fein.
Trara!
Haubitzen und Kartaunen
Brummen lustig zwischendrein.
Trara!
Wie könnten wir verderben
Treu bei unsrem Feldgeschrei.
Trara!
Nur siegen oder sterben,
Kamerad, [es]4 bleibt dabei.

Les hussards doivent chevaucher
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Les hussards doivent chevaucher
Partout à travers ville et campagne.
Trala !
Les hussards doivent se battre
Avec l'épée à la main.
Trala !
Comment nous pourrions perdre courage
Sans argent et sans pain.
Trala !
Les hussards doivent s'élancer
Avec un esprit joyeux vers la mort.
Trala !
Les trompettes et les trombones
Sonnent pour nous si doucement et si délicatement.
Trala !
Les obusiers et les gros canons
Bourdonnent joyeusement tout autour.
Trala !
Comment nous pourrions nous gâter
Si confiants dans nos cris de ralliement.
Trala !
Seulement vaincre ou mourir,
Camarade, c'est entendu.
Tralala tralalera tra la !
