HJ singt [medley]

[Two topics dealing with the same medley have been merged and renamed by the host, Ivan Ž.]

Hi!

I wonder if anyone has lyrics for the Hitlerjungend divisional march version of "Morgen Marschieren Wir"? I have tried to find them but without success. The Hitlerjugend-version seems to be some kind of a potpouri. It begins with the first chapter of original "Morgen Marschieren Wir", then the overall melody and lyrics as well do change. The third part is taken from "Morgen Marschieren wir im Feindesland" that - despite the very similar name - is actually a different song. And the fourth and most well-known part of the song is the chorus of "Vorwärts, Vorwärts!".

If anyone could put together the lyrics, I would really appreciate that :) Thanks.

This medley never had anything to do with the Hitlerjugend division, that is just a popular misconception, started by a pirate CD in the 1990s. It is actually the 2nd part of the medley called "HJ singt", which was recorded in 1937 by an orchestra conducted by Bruno Seidler-Winkler (he is probably also the uncredited composer of the medley) with vocals by HJ-Schar Schlachtensee.

These are the lyrics for the complete recording, written by myself (using period songbooks and by listening):


HJ singt

Ein junges Volk steht auf, zum Sturm bereit!
Reißt die Fahnen höher, Kameraden!
Wir fühlen nahen unsere Zeit,
die Zeit der jungen Soldaten.

Vor uns marschieren mit sturmzerfetzten Fahnen,
die toten Helden der jungen Nation,
und über uns die Heldenahnen.
Deutschland, Vaterland, wir kommen schon!

Wir zieh'n auf stillen Wegen,
die Fahne eingerollt,
es rinnt so leis der Regen,
als wär es so gewollt.

Denn wir marschieren, marschieren
in langen Reihen zu dreien,
auch gestern ungekannt,
doch wir marschieren, marschieren
in langen Reihen zu dreien,
aus Not und Schmach und Schand, ins freie Vaterland.

Wir ziehen über Straßen
in schweren Schritt und Tritt,
und über uns die Fahne,
sie knallt und flattert mit.

Trum, trum, trum,
hei, diridiri-diridiri-dum!
Trum, trum, trum,
hei, diridiri-dum!

Wenn die bunten Fahnen wehen,
geht die Fahrt wohl übers Meer.
Woll'n wir ferne Lande sehen,
fällt der Abschied uns nicht schwer.

Leuchtet die Sonne,
ziehen die Wolken,
klingen die Lieder
weit übers Meer.

Morgen marschieren wir
zu den Bauern ins Nachtquartier.
Eine Tasse Tee,
Zucker und Kaffee,
und ein Gläschen Wein.

Wir zogen in das Feld. Wir zogen in das Feld,
da hätt'n wir weder Säckl noch Geld.
Strampede mi
a la mi presente al vostra signori.

[Marsch der Pappenheimer]

Morgen marschieren wir in Feindesland.
Mädchen, so reich' mir noch einmal die Hand.
Ob ich einst Wiederkehr', ist einerlei.
Wenn nur das Vaterland, wenn Deutschland frei.

"Vorwärts! Vorwärts!" schmettern die hellen Fanfaren.
Vorwärts! Vorwärts! Jugend kennt keine Gefahren.
Deutschland, du wirst leuchtend steh'n,
Mögen wir auch untergeh'n.

"Vorwärts! Vorwärts!" schmettern die hellen Fanfaren.
Vorwärts! Vorwärts! Jugend kennt keine Gefahren.
Ist das Ziel auch noch so hoch,
Jugend zwingt es doch!

Uns're Fahne flattert uns voran.
In die Zukunft zieh'n wir Mann für Mann.
Wir marschieren für Hitler durch Nacht und durch Not
mit der Fahne der Jugend für Freiheit und Brot.

Uns're Fahne flattert uns voran.
Uns're Fahne ist die neue Zeit.
Und die Fahne führt uns in die Ewigkeit!
Ja, die Fahne ist mehr als der Tod!

Hello, I was wondering if this recording was released on 78 rpm shellac and if it is very easy to find now days?

Hello,

I've merged your post with the older topic dealing with the same subject. As you can see in the original label scan above, it is NOT a "12. SS-Division Potpourri" - that is a fictional title (like most titles you can find online and on most CDs). And the record is not easy to find today.

The faking of the title began in the early 1970s when the USA company "Our Times" released the recording on its LP "War Songs of the Third Reich" Vol. 3, under the title "Morgan Marschiern Wir". The same recording was copied by the previously mentioned "RMK" and released in 1990s on its pirate scam-CD "SS-Division Hitler-Jugend" (note: all other tracks in this CD are fakes/off-topic as well). And it is these scammers who additionally named it "Marsch der SS-Division HJ" (although it isn't even a march, but a medley :roll: ). And the "RMK" copy of the recording from the "Our Times" LP was in 2000s copied by "Tomahawk Films" company on their own pirate CD called "Lieder der Sturm-Abteilung und Hitlerjugend".

Incidentally, "Marsch der Pappenheimer" is not mentioned on label and in catalogue. More sloppy errors in catalogue... :roll:

There were many errors indeed, but this time it's simple: the title is HJ singt: Ein junges Volk [and so on]. And "Marsch der Pappenheimer" was not sung, that's why it's not there.

Cheers,
Ivan

Hello, does anyone happen to have an MP3 file of this record?

Specifically for Unsere Fahne flattert uns voran, I collect recordings of that song as hobby and I want to know if this one is one I've never heard before
