Written by the noted German wildlife artist Hans Aschenborn in 1916
My salute to all the soldiers of both sides of the East African Campaign 1914-1918.
"We are all Africans" -Lt Col. Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck
English Translation:
How often have we walked
on this narrow negro path.
Through the middle of the desert,
when early morning approaches,
how we listen to the sound,
of the old familiar songs
of the Porters and Askari:
Hurra! Hurra Safari!
Steeply over mountain and crevices,
through deep jungle night.
Where the air is humid and moist,
and the sun never laughs.
Through steppe grasses
we have passed,
with Porters and Askari:
Hurra! Hurra Safari!
And we sat at the fire,
at night in front of the tent.
Lay as in silent celebration,
the night air all around us.
And over dark slopes,
it sounds like distant sounds
of Porters and Askari:
Hurra! Hurra Safari!
If I go on the last journey,
the great journey once.
Sing me this song
instead of mourning songs.
That's my hunter ear,
there in front of heaven's gate.
It sounds like a Tallyho!
Hurra! Hurra Safari!
