So gewiß wie Wasser fließt und sich Turbinen drehn, |
Зо гевис ви васер флист унд зих турбинен дрен, |
Ζο γεβίς βι βάσερ φλιεστ ουντ ζιχ τουρμπίνεν δρην, |
English translation[]
As surely as water flows and turbines turn,
We will see the red year – the year 2000 (two thousand).
Storm-torn on the horizon flees the horizon clouds,
𝄆 On our shoulders we carry the sun into the land! 𝄇
Today we, the young dreamers, are no longer alone.
Ours will be earth, stars, bread and hope.
With us are millions of hearts fraternally connected.
𝄆 On our shoulders we carry the sun into the land! 𝄇[1]
