Rebut Bandung Kembali

Rebut Bandung Kembali was a song about the spirit to take Bandung from its occupation by the Dutch. Composed during the Long March of the Indonesian Army's 4th Division "Siliwangi"

Lyrics:
REBUT BANDUNG KEMBALI

Gempur dan rebut
Bandung kembali
Itu janji kita
Setiap hari

Janganlah mundur
Setapak kaki
Sampai kita
Bekerja kembali

Garis depan dan belakang
Pereratkanlah tali
Ingat sedang berjuang
Jangan saling sakiti

Ternyata suatu bukti
Tanda pengorbanan yang suci

Gempur rebut
Terus maju
Kita harus satu padu
Gempur rebut
Terus maju
Kita harus satu padu

Panzerlied

The Panzerlied is one of the best known Wehrmacht songs. It was composed in June 1933 by Oberleutnant Kurt Wiehle while on his way to Königsbrück. Wiehle adapted a German sailor's song, writing lyrics more appropriate to the Panzerwaffe. At the time, Germany was clandestinely developing an armored force in defiance of the Treaty of Versailles. The song could be considered as a reflection of the German re-armament, launched in the same time frame as the song was written.
It has gained fame in the English-speaking world due to its usage in the 1965 film Battle of the Bulge. While throughout that film German characters speak English, the song is sung in the original German.
The reference in the Fourth stanza to enemy cannons "hidden in yellow sand" is likely to have been added under the influence of Rommel's "Afrika Korps" campaign in North Africa, as in 1933 it could hardly have been predicted that German tanks would be involved in fighting in a desert environment.
The Panzerlied is still in use by Bundeswehr and Österreichisches Bundesheer today.
The song is also sung by the Chilean Military,and the tune is used for the French Foreign Legion song "Képi Blanc" and, unofficially, by some motorized and parachute units of the Italian army.
The song is also used by the South Korean Army sung in Korean as a Marching Song for its Tank and other Motorized units.
The tune of the Panzerlied is used as the unofficial anthem for the German community of Namibia, and the unofficial anthem of the then South African-ruled South-West Africa (present day Namibia). This song is known as "Das Südwesterlied" or "Hart wie Kameldornholz".
Lyrics:
Ob's stürmt oder schneit, ob die Sonne uns lacht,
Der Tag glühend heiß, oder eiskalt die Nacht,
Verstaubt sind die Gesichter, doch froh ist unser Sinn,
Ja, unser Sinn,
Es braust unser Panzer im Sturmwind dahin. (x2)

Mit donnernden Motoren, geschwind wie der Blitz,
Der Feinde entgegen, im Panzer geschützt
Voraus den Kameraden, im Kampf steh'n wir allein,
Ja wir allein,
So stoßen wir tief in die feindlichen Reih'n. (x2)

Wenn vor uns ein feindlicher Panzer erscheint,
Wird Vollgas gegeben und ran an den Feind.
Was gilt denn unser Leben für uns'res Reiches Heer?
Ja, Reiches Heer.
Für Deutschland zu sterben ist unsre höchste Ehr'. (x2)

Mit Sperren und Tanks hält der Gegner uns auf,
Wir lachen darüber und fahren nicht drauf.
Und schüttelt er gar grämlich und wütend seine Hand,
Ja seine Hand,
Wir suchen uns Wege, die keiner sonst fand. (x2)

Und läßt uns im Stich einst das treulöse Glück,
Und kehren wir nicht mehr zur Heimat zurück,
Trifft uns die Todeskugel, ruft uns das Schicksal ab,
Ja, Schicksal ab,
Dann wird unser Panzer ein ehernes Grab! (x2)

Original Lyrics:
When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here’s what she said to me

Que Sera, Sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows, day after day
Here’s what my sweetheart said.

Que Sera, Sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.

Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be.
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
I tell them tenderly

Que Sera, Sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be

Horst Wessel Lied

Click to enlarge pictures

Horst Wessel Lied (Horst Wessel Song) also known as Die Fahne Hoch (The Flag on High) is The Nazi Party or NSDAP (Nationalsozialistische Deutsch Arbeiter Partei) anthem and also used as German co-National anthem from 1933 to 1945, this song sung after the Deutschlandlied (National anthem of Germany from 1922, but just the 3rd stanza sung in the Federation Republic of Germany now).

Maybe you ask,” Why this song was called Horst Wessel Lied? ” Because it was written in 1929 by Horst Ludwig Wessel, a Sturmabteilung commander with SA-Sturmführer (Lieutenant) rank in Friedrichshain district of Berlin who murdered by unknown assailant, maybe the Assailant is a Communist party member, in February 1930. This song was first performed in Wessel’s Funeral. After that, it sung in many Sturmabteilung street parades.

When Der Führer Adolf Hitler became a Chancellor of the German Reich 3 years later, it recognized as a National symbol and co-National anthem. The NSDAP members always give a Hitlergruß (Nazi Salute) when they sing the first and last verses of the Horst Wessel Lied.

After the fall of the Third Reich, this song was banned in many nations (but not in my beloved Indonesia motherland). Now, this song also banned in Germany and Austria except for educational use.

The Lyrics:

Horst Wessel Lied

Deutsch:
Die Fahne hoch! Die Reihen fest geschlossen!
SA marschiert mit ruhig, festem Schritt.
Kam'raden, die Rotfront und Reaktion erschossen,
Marschier'n im Geist in unser'n Reihen mit.

Die Straße frei den braunen Batallionen.
Die Straße frei dem Sturmabteilungsmann!
Es schau'n aufs Hakenkreuz voll Hoffnung schon Millionen.
Der Tag für Freiheit und für Brot bricht an!

Zum letzten Mal wird Sturmalarm geblasen!
Zum Kampfe steh'n wir alle schon bereit!
Bald flattern Hitlerfahnen über alle Straßen.
Die Knechtschaft dauert nur noch kurze Zeit!

Die Fahne hoch! Die Reihen fest geschlossen!
SA marschiert mit ruhig-festem Schritt.
Kameraden, die Rotfront und Reaktion erschossen,
Marschieren im Geist in unseren Reihen mit.

English:

The flag on high! The ranks closed tightly!
SA marches with calm, firm steps.
Comrades shot by Red Front and reactionaries
March in spirit within our ranks.

Clear the streets for the brownshirts,
Clear the streets for the stormtroopers!
Millions are filled with hope, when they see the swastika,
The day of freedom and bread is dawning!

The call has sounded for the last time
We all stand ready for the fight!
Soon Hitler's flags will fly over all streets.
Our bondage will only last a short time more!

The flag on high! The ranks close tightly!
SA marches with calm, firm steps.
Comrades shot by Red Front and reactionaries
March in spirit within our ranks.
