| 1 | Ob’s stürmt oder schneit,  Ob die Sonne uns lacht,  Der Tag glühend heiß  Oder eiskalt die Nacht,  Bestaubt sind die Gesichter,  Doch froh ist unser Sinn,  Ja unser Sinn.  Es braust unser Panzer  Im Sturmwind dahin. | Whether it storms or snows,  Whether the sun smiles upon us,  [Whether in] The day's scorching heat,  Or the ice-cold of the night,  Dusty are our faces,  But joyous is our mind,  Yes, our mind.  Our tanks roar there,  There in the stormwinds. | In blizzard or storm,  Or in sun warm and bright,  The day hot as hell  Or bone-chilling be the night,  Our faces may with dust be laid,  But spirits never fade,  No, never fade;  Relentless, our tank  Thunders out on a raid. |
| 2 |  Mit donnernden Motoren,  Geschwind wie der Blitz,  Dem Feinde entgegen,  Im Panzer geschützt.  Voraus den Kameraden,  Im Kampf steh'n wir allein,  Steh'n wir allein,  So stoßen wir tief  In die feindlichen Reihn. | With thundering motors,  Fast as lightning,  Against the enemy,  safely inside our panzers.  Ahead of our comrades,  In combat we stand alone,  We stand alone.  So we strike deep,  In the enemy ranks. | With engines a-thundering,  Fast as is the wind,  We head for the foe,  Safe, as we're in armor skinned.  Our comrades still behind us roam;  We'll fight the foe alone,  Yes, fight alone.  We stab through the line  To break the foe's backbone. |
| 3 | Wenn vor uns ein feindliches  Heer dann erscheint,  Wird Vollgas gegeben  Und ran an den Feind!  Was gilt denn unser Leben  Für unsres Reiches Heer?  Ja Reiches Heer  Für Deutschland zu sterben  Ist uns höchste Ehr. | When before us an enemy  Army then appears.  Shalt full gas be given  And run to the enemy!  What then do our lives count for,  For our nation's army?  Yes, nation's army  To die for Germany  Is our highest honor. | Whene'er the foe  May appear in our sight,  We'll ram throttle full,  Then we'll humble all his might!  Of what other use is our life  If country, we serve freely?  Yes, serve freely!  For to die for country,  Be the greatest honour there be. |
| 4 | Mit Sperren und Minen  Hält der Gegner uns auf,  Wir lachen darüber  Und fahren nicht drauf.  Und droh'n vor uns Geschütze,  Versteckt im gelben Sand,  Im gelben Sand,  Wir suchen uns Wege,  Die keiner sonst fand. | With obstacles and mines  the opponent holds us up,  We laugh about it  and upon them, don't drive.  And guns before us defend,  hidden in the yellow sand,  yes, yellow sand.  We search for our way  No others have found. | With tank traps and mines,  Our foe tries to impede.  We laugh at his ruses;  For he shall ne'er succeed.  In threat, the foe's cannons are manned,  All cowering in the sand,  Yes, in the sand,  We'll just find another way  Over much safer land. |
| 5 | Und läßt uns im Stich  Einst das treulose Glück,  Und kehren wir nicht mehr  Zur Heimat zurück,  Trifft uns die Todeskugel,  Ruft uns das Schicksal ab,  Ja Schicksal ab,  Dann wird uns der Panzer  Ein ehernes Grab. | And left in a stitch  once by treacherous luck,  And to return we will no more,  Back to home,  Meeting us, the deathly bullet,  Calling our fate away,  Yes, fate away.  Then become the tank for us,  A brazen grave. | And should at long last,  Our cruel Lady Luck leave,  And remain our remains here,  Leaving family to grieve,  Bullets engraved with our names,  Shall find us and seal our fate,  Yes, our fate,  Our grave, shall our tank become  On that final fatal date. |
