[DE/ENG] "Ich hatt' einen Kameraden," - German Soldier Funeral Song

"Der gute Kamerad" ("The Good Comrade"), also known by its opening line as "Ich hatt' einen Kameraden" ("I had a comrade"), is a traditional German anti-war song and soldiers' lament. The lyrics were written by German romantic poet Ludwig Uhland in 1809. Its immediate inspiration was the deployment of Badener troops against the Tyrolean Rebellion. In 1825, the Lieder composer Friedrich Silcher set it to music, based on the tune of a Swiss folk song, in honor of those who fell during the more recent Wars of Liberation against the French Imperial Army of Napoleon Bonaparte.[1] This video is not intended to glorify or support Nazism or any other ideology presented in the video.

Lyric's: Ich hatt' einen Kameraden, Einen besser'n find'st du nicht. Die Trommel schlug zum Streite, Er ging an meiner Seite In gleichem Schritt und Tritt. (2x) Eine Kugel kam geflogen: Gilt sie mir oder gilt sie dir? Ihn hat es weggerissen, Er liegt vor meinen Füßen Als wär's ein Stück von mir. (2x) Will mir die Hand noch reichen, Derweil ich eben lad'. "Kann dir die Hand nicht geben, Bleib du im ew'gen Leben Mein guter Kamerad! " (2x)
