Nachts steht Hunger starr in unserm Traum - Freikorps Song | [English Translation]

For the sake of historical truth of this song:
The song was written by the Silesian songwriter and youth leader Erich Scholz. There was never a Russian version of this song. It was a song for the German youth movement.
This song is about the defeated West Russian Volunteer Army, which fought against the Soviets together with Freikorps (exactly Iron Division) in the Baltic States 1918-1919.
The West Russian Volunteer Army consisted of released Russian prisoners of war and was set up by the German Empire before the end of the war.

1. Nachts steht Hunger starr in unserm Traum,
tags die SchÃ¼sse knallen her vom Waldessaum.
Elend hÃ¤lt mit den Kolonnen Schritt,
und in Frost und Nebel ziehn die WÃ¶lfe mit.
Noch fliegt Russlands heiliger Adler
MÃ¼tterchen unser Blut gehÃ¶rt nur dir,
mag das rote Heer uns auch jagen,
leuchtend steht noch immer das Panier.
2. Ach, dahin ist stolze Macht,
keine Glocken klingen durch die rote Nacht.
Postenschritte, keine Freiheit mehr,
hinter Stacheldraht steht stumm ein mÃ¼des Heer-
Einer singt die alten Lieder,
lockt uns Schwermut und Sehnsucht aus der Brust,
wild und trotzig klingt es wieder,
im Vergessen liegt die alte Lust.
3. Und als Heer, das keine Heimat hat,
ziehn wir ausgewiesen nun von Stadt zu Stadt.
Menschen kommen, hÃ¶ren unser Lied.
Weiter geht die Fahrt, der Ruhm uns Sinnlos blÃ¼ht.
Heimat, Heimat! summen die ChÃ¶re,
tausendfÃ¤ltig ersteht uns neu dein Bild,
GlockenlÃ¤uten unsre TenÃ¶re,
OrgelbÃ¤sse klingen dumpf und wild.
