Translated lyrics:

For a lifetime we lay in soft beds
In plush and down, in velvet and silk
We knew no evil, there were only the nice
Neutered sheep in the luxury pasture
Understanding and consideration, feeling, boredom
No one struck, everyone loved each other
We ate only porridge and boiled vegetables
Our muscles slackened, our eyes became dull

But the misery has an end
Today you can rise up
Excitement, action, adventure
And a clear goal in life

Off to war!
The time has come, they're sending us off
Off to war!
The mood is good, expectations are high
Off to war!
The weapons are sharp, the hatred is stirred up
Off to war!
Now it's time to bomb

Gone is the era of diplomats
Of compromise and debate
Gone are the days of human rights
We don't care, we have guns
Give up, you pathetic apostles of peace
No one believes your conspiracy theories
The people are ready and waiting for orders
And you are known as freaks and chaotic people

Tanks roll, bombs fall
Everything flies around our ears
But we believe and we fight
Only those who doubt have lost

Off to war!
Take your helmet, your boots, your rifle
Off to war!
No more doubts, no more hesitation, no more waiting
Off to war!
Obedience, respect, determination
Off to war!
This is your time!

Off to war!
Against the enemy!
Into battle!
Give your lives!

The dust settles, it gets quiet and cold
Everything is broken, but it's not over for a long time yet

Yes, we'll burn everything down
Climb over rubble and corpses
Because death is part of life
Old flesh must give way to new flesh

Off to war!
The time has come, they send us off
Off to war!
The mood is good, expectations are high
Off to war!
The weapons are sharp, the hatred is stirred up
Off to war!
Now it's time to transpose!

Let's go to war!
Show us the enemy and we'll attack!
Let's go to war!
Country against country, man against man!
Let's go to war!
Your rage, your anger, let it all out!
Let's go to war!
