Die achte Division

In Igelposition

In Sankt Mihiel

Vom Feind umstellt

Die achte Division

So wurd' es uns befohl'n

Nicht ein Stück

Weichen wir zurück

The Yankee Division March

Is ready for the charge

In Saint Mihiel

With tanks and shells

The Yankee Division March

Full of will and starch

We'll come by night

With a sudden strike

Wir sitzen am ersten Geschütz

Die Abwehrlinie ist durchlässig

Kein Flammenschirm, der uns beschützt

Zermürbt und übernächtigt

Früh um 5 dann der Überfall

Es brüllt der Motor der Kriegsmaschine

Rotes Licht, ein lauter Knall

Als die Amis losmarschieren

Schießen, laden, schießen, laden

Dumpf ploppt unser Mörser 16

20-Zentimeter-Granaten

So schwer, dass unsre Männer ächzen

Wir sehen die Tanks auffahren

Sie überrollen die Schützengräben

Der Ami kommt in Scharen

Trachtet uns nach unserem Leben

Die achte Division

In Igelposition

In Sankt Mihiel

Vom Feind umstellt

Die achte Division

So wurd' es uns befohl'n

Nicht ein Stück

Weichen wir zurück

The Yankee Division March

Is ready for the charge

In Saint Mihiel

With tanks and shells

The Yankee Division March

Full of will and starch

We'll come by night

With a sudden strike

We're ducking in the trench

Waiting for five a.m

Four hours of constant bombing

We stick to Pershing's plan

The operation starts

Sneaking through the no-man's land

Thousand men in the mud

Crawling to the German trench

We brought our tanks with us

The M1917

Six times seven feet

Six tons on the battlefield

The plateau is bombed out

Flatten by preparation fire

Just a few obstacles

Corpses and barbed wire

Die achte Division

In Igelposition

In Sankt Mihiel

Vom Feind umstellt

Die achte Division

So wurd' es uns befohl'n

Nicht ein Stück

Weichen wir zurück

The Yankee Division March

Is ready for the charge

In Saint Mihiel

With tanks and shells

The Yankee Division March

Full of will and starch78

We'll come by night
