Translation
The principal lines are quite difficult to translate and get them to scan.

The article says ''Vorwärts! Vorwärts! schmettern die hellen Fanfaren ("Forward! Forward! Blare the bright fanfares")''

is a bit literal. hell = bright, well yes, but that's just a filler to get the line to scan in German.

And schmettern, yes that's "blare" as in trumpets and sing out as in birdsong, although Schmetterling = butterfly, not the most rumbustious insect. How about

'''Onward! Onward! call out the trumpeters' chorus'''

And then The song is known by its chorus Unsere Fahne flattert uns voran ("Our flag flutters before us")

Well voran is a bit more mobile than "in front of", I think. And Fahne = flag is a bit weak.

How about Our banner beckons us along!. Not perfect, I admit. "Beckons us to war" would be better but the HJ were of course a peaceful organisation. How about Our banner leads us to our task. But it doesn't tell us what our task is. Tricky, this.

The devil gets all the best tunes though. Afterbrunel (talk) 19:43, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
