The "German Workers' Marseillaise" is a socialist song written in 1864 by Jacob Audorf for the General German Workers' Association to the melody of French national anthem "La Marseillaise".
Lyrics
Alternate refrain
For the funeral of Ferdinand Lassalle, the refrain was rewritten:
Nicht zählen wir den Feind,
nicht die Gefahren all!
Marsch, marsch, marsch, marsch
Der kühnen Bahn nun folgen wir,
die uns geführt Lasalle!
Which translates to English as:
We fear not the enemy,
nor the dangers at all!
March, march, march, march!
We now follow the bold path,
the one into which Lasalle guided us!
