MEIN MICHELMY MICHEL, WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE?
Du hast Bataillone, Schwadronen,
Batterien, Maschinengewehr,
du hast auch die größten Kanonen.
|: Mein Michel, was willst du noch mehr? :|
You have battalions, squadrons
Batteries of maschineguns
You also have the biggest cannons
My Michel, what do you want more?
My Michel, what do you want more?
Du hast zwei Dutzend Monarchen,
Lakaien und Pfaffen ein Heer,
beseeligt kannst du da schnarchen.
|: Mein Michel, was willst du noch mehr? :|
You have two dozen monarchs
Minions and priests, an army
So you can blessedly sleep
My Michel, what do you want more?
My Michel, what do you want more?
Du hast ungezählte Paragraphen,
die Gefängnisse werden nicht leer,
du kannst auch in Schutzhaft drin schlafen.
|: Mein Michel, was willst du noch mehr? :|
You have countless paragraph in law
Your prisons are never be empty
There you can sleep in protective custody
My Michel, what do you want more?
My Michel, what do you want more?
Du hast die beträchtlichsten Steuern,
deine Junker, die plagen sich sehr,
um dir das Brot zu verteuern.
|: Mein Michel, was willst du noch mehr? :|
You pay the most highest taxes
Your squires, labour themselfs
To increase the price for your bread
My Michel, what do you want more?
My Michel, what do you want more?
Du hast Kohlrüben und Eicheln,
und frägst du nach and’rem Begehr,
so darfst du am Bauche dich streicheln.
|: Mein Michel, was willst du noch mehr? :|
You have swedes and acorns
And If you want more
You can caress your belly
My Michel, what do you want more?
My Michel, what do you want more?
Du darfst exerzieren, marschieren,
am Kasernenhof, kreuz und quer,
und dann für den Kaiser krepieren.
|: Mein Michel, was willst du noch mehr? :|
You're allowed to exercise and march
Crisscross round the barrack yard
And then you perish for your emperor
My Michel, what do you want more?
My Michel, what do you want more?
