Achtung
Achtung
Achtung
Hier sind die Wölfe
Achtung
Achtung
Hier sind die Wölfe
Wir sind zurück
Die Wölfe machen wieder Jagd
Den Schafspelz abgelegt
Nichts wird mehr, wie es einst war

Wir sind zurück
Hütet eure bösen Zungen
Wir kommen dich zu holen
Keiner wird uns mehr entkommen

Ein Rudel Wölfe
Zu richten all das Feindespack
Schreit ruhig um Hilfe
Wir schneiden eure Schreie ab

Achtung
Achtung
Achtung
Hier sind die Wölfe
Achtung
Achtung
Achtung
Hier sind die Wölfe

Nicht Wind noch Sturm
Soll uns im Wege stehen
Kein Krieger, Richter, Henker
Wird gegen uns bestehen

Wir sind bereit zum Kampf
Und lecken unsere frischen Wunden
Auf das es bald verheilt
Und Narben unsrer Taten kundtun

Wer aufrecht steht
Der eckt an mancher Stelle an
Doch jeder Widerstand
Treibt uns auf unsrem Weg voran

Wir sind viele
Wir sind gemein
Wir haben scharfe Zähne

Wir sind viele
Wir sind gemein
Scharfe Zähne, rote Haut
Die Seele so schwarz

Gebt bloß Acht
Die Wölfe sind wieder los
Gebt gut Acht
Die Wölfe jagen wieder durch die Nacht

Achtung
Achtung
Achtung
Hier sind die Wölfe
Achtung
Achtung




Achtung
Hier sind die Wölfe

Overall Meaning

The German word "Achtung" means "attention" in English. The song begins with the repetition of "Achtung" to grab the listener's attention and establish a sense of urgency. The following line, "Hier sind die Wölfe," translates to "Here are the wolves," setting the tone for the rest of the song.


The theme of the song is the return of the wolves and their reign of terror. They have shed their sheepskin and are prepared to hunt again. They will not be stopped by anyone or anything, as they are ready to fight and have the scars to prove it. The wolves are a symbol of power and unity, and they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals.


The lyrics also have a darker subtext that alludes to Nazi ideology. The wolves can be interpreted as a metaphor for the Nazi regime, and the hunt for their enemies can be read as a call for ethnic cleansing. The use of words like "gemein" (mean) and "rote Haut" (red skin), coupled with the mention of scars and the theme of resistance, all hint at the atrocities committed during the Holocaust.


Overall, "Achtung" is a powerful song that uses imagery and metaphor to convey a message of strength and unity, but also carries a chilling undertone of historical reckoning.

Translation:

Careful! We are the wolves.

We are back and hunting again.

A pack of wolves to hunt down the enemy.

No warrior, judge or hangman will stand against us.
And every resistance will further our cause.
We are many and we are mean.
We have sharp teeth.

Be careful, the wolves are on the lose.

English translation for those who need it


Little Red Riding Hood
A red hood
And nothing good in mind
It really was like that
And not as in the Grimm Fairy Tales!

It really wasn't so easy to tell
This story of a scapegoat
That just had to go!

A wolf stood in twilight
On the side of the road
Without fear
And without any bad intent

Good wolf,
follow me
come with me
I'll show you
A house of joy
And fulfillment

Good wolf,
come along and don't be shy
I'll show you the way
Good wolf,
Do you trust me?
I was never once bad to you.

Little Red Riding Hood ran through the forest,
Her thoughts bitter cold
Wanting so much to get home
Little Red Riding Hood!
Little Red Riding Hood!
Little Red Riding Hood!

Oh, the poor wolf
Didn't know
What was blooming

It wasn't very long
and they came to a little cottage

Dear grandmother,
Where is your sense?
A bad wolf is standing in front of your door
Ah, grandmother,
Where is your sense?
Can't you see him?

But Little Red Riding Hood,
Be careful, be alert
But Little Red Riding Hood,
The end of the wolf seems to me not so good
But Little Red Riding Hood,
Why are you looking at me so angrily?
Nobody has yet done me any harm

Little Red Riding Hood cuts
Her grandmother in pieces
Blood splashes in her eyes
She eats the corpse
Red was her color
Her eyes sparkle
Blood!!!

Good wolf,
Here is your meat
Grandmother is surely still in the forest
I'll go fetch her
Just eat everything up
And wait here for me

Little Red Riding Hood ran through the forest
And soon found a woodsman
Told him more about the bad wolf
Little Red Riding Hood!
Little Red Riding Hood!
Little Red Riding Hood!

I'm so small
My heart is pure
It was the wolf!
The big bad wolf!

Little Red Riding Hood!
Little Red Riding Hood!
The bitch is a liar!
Little Red Riding Hood!
Little Red Riding Hood!
Little Red Riding Hood
Was the bad one.

Moral of the song: don't kill wolves or someone will come and make you eat one of your friends.
