Lyrics

(Sono hi jinrui wa omoidashita

Yatsura ni shihaisareteita kyoufu
Torikago no naka ni torawareteita kutsujoku wo
Hanatareta yumiya yo
Kabe wo koe umi made tonde yuke!)

Seid ihr das Essen?
Nein, wir sind der Jäger!

(Feurroter Pfeil und Bogen)

Fumareta hana no namae mo shirazu ni
Chi ni ochita (tori) wa kaze wo machi wabiru

Inotta tokoro de nani mo kawaranai
[Ima] wo kaeru na wa tatakau kakugo da...

Shikabane fumi koete susumu ishi wo warau buta yo
Kachiku no annei ...kyogi no han'ei ...shiseru garou no "jiyuu" o!

Torawareta kutsujoku wa hangeki no koushi da jougeki no sono kanata emono wo hofuru [Jäger]
Hotobashiru [shoudou] ni sono mi wo yakinagara tasogare ni hi wo ugatsu――

Guren no Yumiya

(Ya) wo tsugae oi kakeru yatsu wa nigasanai
(Ya) wo hanachi oi tsumeru keshite nigasanai
Genkai made hiki shiboru hachikire sou na tsuru
[Yatsu] ga ikitaeru made nando demo hanatsu

Emono wo korosu no wa
[Dougu] demo gijitsu de mo nai
Togisumasareta
Omae jishin wo satsui da

(Wir sind der Jäger)
Honoo no you ni atsuku!
(Wir sind der Jäger)
Koori no you ni hiyayaka ni
(Wir sind der Jäger)
Onore wo (ya) ni komete!
(Wir sind der Jäger)
Subete wo tsuranuite yuke!

(Angriff auf die Titanen
Der Junge von einst wird bald zum Schwert greifen

Wer nur seine Machtlosigkeit beklagt kann nichts verändern
Der Junge von einst wird bald das Schwarze Schwert ergreifen
Hass und Zorn sind eine zweischneidige Klinge
Bald eines Tages wird er dem Schicksal die Zähne zeigen)

Nani ka wo kaeru koto ga dekiru no wa
Nani ka wo suteru koto ga dekiru mono

Nani hitotsu [RISUKU] nado seowanai mama de
Nanika ga kanau nado......

Angu no soutei ...tada no gen'ei ...ima wa mubou na yuuki mo...
"Jiyuu" no senpei ...kake no kousei
Hashiru dorei ni shouri o!

Kaserareta fujouri wa shingeki no koushi da
Ubawareta sono chihei [sekai] wo nozomu [Eren]
Tomedonaki [shoudou] ni sono mi wo kasarenagara yoiyami ni shi wo hakobu――

Meifu no yumiya
Are you prey?

No, we are the hunters!

Crimson Bow and Arrows

Not knowing the name of the trampled flower
Birds that have fallen from the sky tire of waiting upon the wind

Prayers won’t change anything
Only the resolve to fight can change the <Undesirable Present Situation>[present]...

You pigs who sneer at our will to step over corpses and march onwards
Enjoy the peace of livestock...false prosperity...“freedom” of the dying wolves that hunger!

The humiliation of entrapment is our cue to counterattack
Beyond the castle walls lies a hunter killing his prey
With a surging <killer impulse> scorching his body, he pierces the dusk scarlet-

With a crimson arrow

Drawing his bow, he takes after his target; he won’t let it escape
Releasing his arrow, he closes upon it; he won’t let it escape

He bends his bow to its limits, the string on the verge of snapping
He’ll release it, time and time again, until <his target> draws its last breath

What truly kills a prey
Are not <weapons>[tools] nor your skills at using it
But your own sharp killing intent

We are the hunters passionate as flames!
We are the hunters cold as ice!
We are the hunters pour your heart and soul into your arrow!
We are the hunters boldly go forth and pierce through everything!

Attack on the titans.
The boy from back then will soon take up the sword.
Who only laments his powerlessness won’t be able to change a thing.
They boy from back then will soon take up the black sword. Hate and rage are a double-edged blade.
Soon, one day, he will bare his fangs against fate.

Ones that could hope to change anything
Are ones who could bear to abandon anything
Without bearing any <risk> at all, how could you hope to attain anything...?

Foolish assumptions...they are but mere phantasms...right now, we could do with even reckless courage...
The advance guards of <freedom>...betting on their offensive
Victory to the charging slaves!

All this absurdity forced upon us are our cue to attack
Deprived of his horizon, <The boy from that day>[Eren] yearns for “freedom”[the world]
With relentless <killer impulse> assailing his body, he brings violet to dusk-

With an arrow from Hades
