Hört Ihr Herr'n und laßt Euch sagen:
Der Feind ist über'n Rhein geschlagen!
Bewahrt das Feuer in Eurer Brust,
Das Euch geholfen zu dieser Lust,
Bewahrt das Licht, Ihr holden Frauen,
Das Ehrenlicht der Deutschen Gauen.
Vor allem aber, Ihr Frau'n und Herrn,
Lobt für’s Jahr Dreyzehn Gott den Herrn,
Singet und preist ihn von fern und nah!
Amen, Amen, Victoria!

Listen ye lords, and let me tell you
Language: English  after the German (Deutsch)
Listen ye lords, and let me tell you:
The foe has been beaten back across the Rhine!
Guard the fire in your breast,
[The fire] that helped you to this joy,
Guard the light, you fair women,
The honourable light of the German counties.
Before all else, ye ladies and gentlemen,
Praise the Lord God for the year thirteen,
Sing and praise Him from far and wide!
Amen, amen, victory!
