You look back on your life, Oh a life of struggle, always acted loyally and uprightly, always connected to people and fatherland Farewell, you loyal warrior – rest in peace May the gods accompany you and keep watch over you! Over the Rainbow Bridge, escorting Valkyries, faithful until death, now freed from earthly things. Too often misunderstood bullied too often, For your home country Scapegoated and discredited. Too often in a losing battle, With your back against the wall, Honor and loyalty unbroken, Sacrificed your life for the country
