The Andreas Hofer Song - Student Fraternity Rheinfranken of Germany

The Andreas Hofer Song, the official anthem of Tyrol, presented by the German student fraternity Rheinfranken, Germany. Lyrics by Julius Mosen, 1831.
1.
At Mantua bound the loyal Hofer was.
At Mantua into death his enemies him led.
With bleeding hearts his brothers were,
all of Germany dishonoured and in pain
|: and with it its land Tyrol. :|
2.
His hands on his back the innkeeper Hofer strode
with calm and firm steps death meant little to him.
Death, which he had himself sent sometimes
from Iselberg into the valley,
|: in the holy land Tyrol. :|
3.
But when, from dungeon's bars in fortified Mantua,
his brothers in arms' hands outstretched he saw,
he loudly shouted: God be with you
and with the betrayed German Reich
|: and with the land Tyrol. :|
4.
The reel, it hardly wants to sound from the stick of the drum,
when then innkeeper Hofer strode out the dark dungeon's gate.
The innkeeper, though bound, still free,
stood firmly upon the bastion's walls.
|: The man from the land Tyrol. :|
5.
When told to bend down on his knees, he says: I'll never do such thing!
Want to die as I stand here to die standing, as I fought!
As I stand here upon this mound, long live my dearest Kaiser Franz
|: as should his land Tyrol! :|
6.
And from his arm the armband takes off the corporal;
and the innkeeper prays here for one last time;
then he shouts out loud: Now hit me right,
fire well! Oh dear, are you shooting poorly!
|: Farewell, my land Tyrol. :|
