Futils struggle, an ocean of merciless sand
Invincible waves of fleas and flies
Iron nights and days of steel, at any cost shall we make them bleed
The tanks roll forward in Afrika, Afrika

Desert fox versus desert rats
A march through endless clouds of dust
Scorched iron oasis, desert blitz, Afrika, Afrika

Fever, cramps and diarrhea, as easy as 1 2 3
All that matters is crushing the enemy
Entangling arm of death, 88's coughing mortal breath
The tanks roll forward in Afrika, Afrika

Shell after shell over bone-dry plains
The star of Afrika descends into flames
Underated, shallow stony graves, Afrika, Afrika

Counterattack, bleeding dry, Afrikakorps, outnumbered
Forcing the fox in retreat, fighting force collapse
Now facing the long road back

Tripoli, Bengasi, Stukas pounding tirelessly
Deafening explosions keep the pace
Tobruk captured and painted red, El Alamein ahead
The tanks roll forward in Afrika, Afrika
Sand and drought flavored killing spree
The smell of palm trees and gasoline
No more retreat, only defeat, Afrika, Afrika, Afrika, Afrika
