Lyrics:
Wir sind des Geyers schwarzer Haufen, heia hoho,
und wollen mit Tyrannen raufen, heia hoho.
Refrain:
Spieß voran, drauf und dran,
setzt auf’s Klosterdach den roten Hahn!
Als Adam grub und Eva spann, kyrieleys,
wo war denn da der Edelmann? kyrieleys.
Jetzt gilt es Schloß, Abtei und Stift, heia hoho,
uns gilt nichts als die Heil’ge Schrift, heia hoho.
Des Edelmannes Töchterlein, Kyrieleis!
Wir jagen sind die Höll hinein, Kyrieleis!
Uns führt der Florian Geyer an, trotz Acht und Bann,
den Bundschuh führt er in der Fahn', hat Helm und Harnisch an.
Bei Weinsberg setzt es Brand und Stank, heia hoho,
gar mancher über die Klinge sprang, heia hoho.
Geschlagen ziehen wir nach Haus, heia hoho,
uns’re Enkel fechten’s besser aus, heia hoho.
Lyrics (English):
We are Geyer's black hordes, heia hoho!
And we want to fight with the tyrants, heia hoho!
Refrain:
Pikes ahead! On and on!
On the monastery's roof, raise the red flames!
When Adam plowed and Eve span, Lord, have mercy!
Well where was the nobleman? Lord, have mercy!
Now it's all about the castle, abbey and monastery, heia hoho!
There is nothing to us but the Holy Scripture, heia hoho!
The nobleman's daughter, Lord, have mercy!
We will chase into hell, Lord, have mercy!
We are led by Florian Geyer, despite being outlaws!
He has the Bundschuh on his flag, he wears helmet and armour
In Weinsberg we gave them fire and stench, heia hoho!
Many a man was put to the blade, heia hoho!
Defeated, we return home, heia hoho!
Our grandchildren will put up a better fight! Heia hoho!
