Created by Hans Baumann, it is the official song of the Hitler Youth. Show The original song's refrain (1932) was "Denn heute gehört uns Deutschland / und morgen die ganze Welt" ("For today, Germany is ours / and tomorrow the whole world").

Nazi song lyrics?Post by Director » 06 Apr 2004, 16:16 Hi guys, A German speaking pal said, when I mentioned it to him, that maybe the author mixed it up with the Hitler youth song with the
lyrics I’m lost. But to make that more confusing, when I googled it, I came up with this (US) propaganda poster. So was it originally lyrics from a song? Or is this baseless propaganda? Any help would be great! I was to have the (original) quote at the beginning of my movie. I thought it was suitable as it deals with the Nazis trying to conquer the world.

Well, as I said, both the "hears" and the "belongs to/is ours" versions of the song's lyrics were used, so the use of either one is correct. As for the song's title: Yes, "The mouldy bones are shaking" is a possible translation. Just whose "mouldy bones" it is that are shaking is mentioned in the lyrics' second line: "Es zittern die morschen Knochen which would translate as: "The world's mouldy bones are shaking ...so the title would be actually a little different if the song had been written in English. #6 Post by Director » 08 Apr 2004, 00:26 Thanks for your help HPL2008 & Germania. It's much appreciated. I have got what I need. Thanks. |
