Wagen mußt du und flüchtig erbeuten,
Hinter uns schon durch die Nacht hör' ich's schreiten,
Schwing' auf mein Roß dich nur schnell
Und küß' noch im Flug mich wildschönes Kind,
Geschwind,
Denn der Tod ist ein rascher Gesell.

Le soldat
Language: French (Français)  after the German (Deutsch)
Tu dois être hardi et saisir rapidement ton butin,
Déjà j'entends des pas derrière nous dans la nuit,
Saute sur mon cheval vite,
Et embrasse-moi au vol, mon bel enfant sauvage,
Dépêche-toi,
Car la mort est un rapide compagnon.
