English lyrics On the heath, there blooms a little flower and it's called : Erika. Eagerly a hundred thousand little bees, swarm around, Erika. For her heart is full of sweetness, a tender scent escapes her blossom-gown. On the heath, there blooms a little flower and it's called : Erika. Back at home, there lives a little maiden and she's called : Erika. That girl is my faithful little darling and my joy, Erika! When the heather blooms in a reddish purple, I sing her this song in greeting. On the heath, there blooms a little flower and it's called : Erika. In my room, there also blooms a little flower and it's called : Erika. Already In the grey of dawn, as it does at dusk, It looks at me, Erika! And it is as if it spoke aloud: "Are you thinking of your fiancée?" Back at home, a maiden weeps for you and she's called : ERIKA
It's a good song and I also enjoy it, but don't forget about the fact that Nazis death marched to this song. It should be uncomfortable to listen to this knowing its history.
@@JBeamGT3Not all members of the Wermacht were Nazi party members or sympathizers. A lot of them were brainwashed into thinking that going to war was to bring back Germany's old glory, to exact revenge on the Allied nations, to finally be proud of being German again. But of course the road to hell is paved with good intentions as they did some horrendous shit that we still talk about in textbooks. And yes I believe that the Holocaust happened. Still that doesn't the song should be considered a bad omen. US troops loved Fortunate Son when it came out but should we hate it because of the stuff US troops did in Vietnam?

Yeah….. because these soldiers were sick of war and wanted to go back home to theirs wives and girlfriends! Did you ever notice when our soldiers got off the troopships and meet up with their wives that the birthrate SKYROCKETED up 9 MONTHS later at a rate that had/has never been seen before or since!! TRUST ME…. the first things these couples wanted to do was not have a Steak dinner or go to the movies!!!
Whoever posted this video LIES about it becomming a political song. It never was or ever became political. Erica was a popular song about a girl back home and nothing more.
I do not consider it a Nazi song, it’s got an awesome beat. And if you drive a VW, BMW or a Mercedes and ride in OTIS elevators you need to shut up. LOL😊
Using those car companies as a reason for people to shut up is pretty dumb since they're now run by people who had nothing to do with Nazis or World War 2. Should we tell everyone who criticizes China to shut up because they're more likely than not to own something made in China?
ITS NOT A NAZI SONG BRO FACT CHECK THIS SHIT BEFORE YOU POST IT GIVING A WORSE NAME THAN IT HAS IT IS ERIKA WHERE ON THE HEATH LIES A FLOWER NOT A NAZI

English lyrics
On the heath, there blooms a little flower
and it's called : Erika.
Eagerly a hundred thousand little bees,
swarm around, Erika.
For her heart is full of sweetness,
a tender scent escapes her blossom-gown.
On the heath, there blooms a little flower
and it's called : Erika.
Back at home, there lives a little maiden
and she's called : Erika.
That girl is my faithful little darling
and my joy, Erika!
When the heather blooms in a reddish purple,
I sing her this song in greeting.
On the heath, there blooms a little flower
and it's called : Erika.
In my room, there also blooms a little flower
and it's called : Erika.
Already In the grey of dawn, as it does at dusk,
It looks at me, Erika!
And it is as if it spoke aloud:
"Are you thinking of your fiancée?"
Back at home, a maiden weeps for you
and she's called : ERIKA
Thanks
It's actually beautiful
@@stevengabrielromano526 I couldn't agree more
Soory but I know why german likes

@Bojan457 Flower, not floret.

Probably he has good taste of music
Yeh he has 😂
Cause he’s a nazi ..
@@saidmohamed7318and a funny moustache, maybe ?
Aw hell nah 💀@@MrACP
Me at one am singing erika in my head for no reason it’s such a great song a good beat
You're not alone🙌
Ja es eignet sich auch gut um zu marschieren.✋️
It's a good song and I also enjoy it, but don't forget about the fact that Nazis death marched to this song. It should be uncomfortable to listen to this knowing its history.

Erika: written in 1930
Hitler's rise to power: 1933
Wich Video did you see? Cause it cant be thins one, or youre not able to speak English
@@Bensonderbaus shut
Erika is actually a type of flower so when you put English subtitles on it talks about a flower
Basically the German version of "Heather"
Awwww a sweet poem to someone's crush, thanx for the info, I thought it was propaganda, but it turns out it was just a love song turned political.
Wrong. The composer was ALSO a nazi
A beautiful song is a beautiful song. It was just stitched into all that…
"You're probably familiar with this song" you caught me💀
It means what it always meant. It means what the author meant, no more.
and what did the author mean?
A wholesome song made guilty of only being made at the wrong time and place...
The song is a banger...im just glad it isn't offensive as i thought it would be
It’s not offense
The Bundeswehr used it too.
Are you telling me that German empire was using it in ww1
Doesn't change the fact that it's a fire song 🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful song. Thanks.
A song about loving and flowers
ich liebe dieses Lied
It's good but Germany has other good songs at this time
I mean, it has a very military beat to it. Sounds like a matching song haha
Such a tune
This low-key fire
This song lowkey slaps ngl despite the nazi's using it I still appreciate this song
Somebody help my argentinian great grandfather keeps raising his fucking hand to the addition sign
It's a beautiful song 💖
German Lyrics:
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
und das heißt: Erika.
Heiß von hunderttausend kleinen Bienelein
wird umschwärmt Erika,
denn ihr Herz ist voller Süßigkeit,
zarter Duft entströmt dem Blütenkleid.
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
und das heißt: Erika.
In der Heimat wohnt ein kleines Mägdelein
und das heißt: Erika.
Dieses Mädel ist mein treues Schätzelein
und mein Glück, Erika.
Wenn das Heidekraut rot-lila blüht,
singe ich zum Gruß ihr dieses Lied.
Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein
und das heißt: Erika.
In mein'm Kämmerlein blüht auch ein Blümelein
und das heißt: Erika.
Schon beim Morgengrau'n sowie beim Dämmerschein
schaut's mich an, Erika.
Und dann ist es mir, als spräch' es laut:
"Denkst du auch an deine kleine Braut?"
In der Heimat weint um dich ein Mägdelein
und das heißt
Do you have a source for its composition date?

Its more older what you say...
🇩🇪Germany enter the Chat🇩🇪:
it was a kind of love song, before it was hijacked by the Nazis
What a stupid people hating on a song because of some sign used in the clip 🤦
Am(Erika) ❤
Hmm....it's popular with soldiers on the account you gotta beat the beat with your marching boots 👢...otherwise just a song
ERIKA 🗣️🗣️
Don’t German soldiers still sing it
Das Lied ist auch gut
Im the #1000 like
Loved when Kanye dropped this banger
Its a good song, still sometimes used by the German military (If I am not mistaken) but the Nazis made it bad
This song has a good meaning,it was just used by bad people
Yeah….. because these soldiers were sick of war and wanted to go back home to theirs wives and girlfriends! Did you ever notice when our soldiers got off the troopships and meet up with their wives that the birthrate SKYROCKETED up 9 MONTHS later at a rate that had/has never been seen before or since!!

Wow, another "short" stating the obvious. "Revealing" something most people already know.
Man, this suck because this wasn't for anything bad? But one group had the Ruin😠
🇩🇪🙋🏻
Whoever posted this video LIES about it becomming a political song. It never was or ever became political. Erica was a popular song about a girl back home and nothing more.
It's disgusting to pervert a song with such a beatifull meaning
Anyways.
No it's not true, it's a national anthem for Germany, not belongs to the Nazi
I do not consider it a Nazi song, it’s got an awesome beat. And if you drive a VW, BMW or a Mercedes and ride in OTIS elevators you need to shut up. LOL😊
Using those car companies as a reason for people to shut up is pretty dumb since they're now run by people who had nothing to do with Nazis or World War 2. Should we tell everyone who criticizes China to shut up because they're more likely than not to own something made in China?
Wrong
Superior Song
