Hundert Mann und ein Befehl English translation
von Freddy Quinn

Somewhere in a foreign land
We march through stone and sand
Far from home and free as a bird
A hundred men, and I’m among them

A hundred men and an order
And a path no one wants
Day in, day out, who knows where
Scorched earth, and what’s the point


All alone in the dark night
I’ve often thought
That far from here the full moon shines
And far from me, a girl cries

And the world is so beautiful
If only I could see you once more
A long year separates us now
Because an order was our fate

Fate strikes randomly
Today it’s me, tomorrow it’s you
I hear the crows cry from afar
In the dawn light, why must it be?


Somewhere in a foreign land
We march through stone and sand
Far from home and free as a bird
A hundred men, and I’m among them
