From Barcelona Ernst Busch will sing now
« The Convoy Thälmann »
Spain's heavens spread their stars
over the trenches of our tiralleurs
than the dawnings have been saluting from afar
no sooner we will take up the fight
home far and wide
yet we are prepared
we will fight & will win for You
¡ LIBERTY !
From the fascist sending tightening
bullets' hails we will not retreat
incomparable comrades bear us company
marching backwards won't do for us
home far and wide
yet we are prepared
we will fight & will win for You
¡ LIBERTY !
*** the drum set up the bayonets
forward march the win is our wage
with the Flag of LIBERTY break the chain
up get into the combat the Thälmann-battalion
home far and wide
yet we are prepared
we fight and we DIE for You
¡ LIBERTY !

My country I left
to the ESPAÑA I swore
that she will always be
¡ LIBRE !
