1930s German Soldier's Song "Erika" (ANIMATED w/English Subtitles)
Музыка
'Erika' (1939) by German Composter Herms Niel.
DISCLAIMER: I have created this video for strictly non-political and non-ideological purposes. I do not believe in nor endorse fascism, Nazism, or national socialism.
One of the most popular marching anthems to ever come out of Germany, Erika is recognized far from its country of origin.
Often thought of as traditional folk tune, Erika is in fact a more recent military marching song created after 1930. The lyrics and the melody come from the German composer for marching songs, Herms Niel (1888-1954).
Niel was the leading Kapellmeister (the main bandleader) of the Reich Labour Service and composed many songs for the Reich over its twelve years of existence including 'Engel-land-lied’, one of the main German war songs throughout the conflict.
Published under its original title “Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein” (“Erika”), the songs main theme focuses on a man longing for his sweetheart back home.
The name "Erika" has a double meaning both as a traditional German girls name and also that of a flower.
The flowers known in German as Heidekräuter (Erica) are a genus of about 860 species of flowering plants in the family Ericaceae. One variety of heather or heath flowers, Glockenheide (bell heather), has the Latin name Erica tetralix.
'Erika' is a flower found growing “auf der Heide” (on the heath) or in a moor in Germany and other places.
Because of its Nazi-era association, “Erika” is sometimes considered to be politically incorrect. However, other than the march music and drum beats there is nothing in the song or its lyrics that have anythign to do with German militarism or Nazism at all.

We do have a lot of pretty songs that have either been forgotten or turned into Nazi propaganda. I think my favourite is "Die Gedanken sind frei", about how free thoughts are. Translated, the first verse goes something like this: "Thoughts are free, who could ever guess them? They take flight from you like shadows at night. No man can know them, no hunter can shoot them. And so it shall always be: Thoughts are free."

For those who don't know: this song isn't about a girl named Erika, it's a song about the Heather (from the flowering plant family Ericaceae, that's where the name came from). In Germany we also call those plants "Erica". It's a widespread flower we use for cultural landscapes especially in the northern parts like the Lüneburger Heide or the Colbitz-Letzlinger Heide :)

Yes it is. It's a soldiers song about love. I'm a Hispanic but, very partial toward the German culture and her people. When my dad was stationed in Frankfurt Germany in 1963-65 with the 3rd armored division as a tank driver. He came back home with his Steins and memorabilia to Texas and I was about 10 years old he would play a vinyl record on a mono turntable record player and hear the sounds and music of Germany. Dad would say when the American army marched sometimes the German army would join them side by side with the Germans singing. I thought that was pretty cool stuff. 🇩🇪 🇺🇲 Jimbo Mexican American, former US Navy radioman petty officer 86-96.

When I was in Germany in the army in the early 90s I had a mate in the bundeswehr. He introduced me to a girl called Erika who i saw for a few years. Every time me and tobias talked about Erika he would sing "und sie heisst... Erika" (or thats what it sounded like). I had no idea back then why he did that....
This is a song about a woman and the love for a woman (fueling the soldiers to hurry and win the war [in order to get back to their loved ones]). That is not all that different from any other Soldiers and their loved ones.

No, Erika does not mean heather. Heather is Heide in german. Erika comes from a flower. Tha latin name of the flower is ericaceae. In German we call it Heidekraut. You also hear in the song the word Heidekraut. "when the Heidekraut blooms red and purple again." Because it is the color of ericaceae. The red/purple fliwering ericaceae is usually growing on heathers (Heiden) in Germany. That is where Erika came from in this song. A red flower with the name ericaceae that grows on the heather. The soldiers also sing for their woman who are waiting for her men to come home from war. That is the main aspect of this song. Not the flower itself.

Erika ist ein deutscher Vorname und bedeutet „die nach dem Gesetz und Recht Herrschende“. Erika ist die weibliche Form von Erik (Erich). ( Erika is a German first name and means “the one who rules according to law and justice”. Erika is the feminine form of Erik (Erich). ) Erich : Ostnordisch Erik beziehungsweise westnordisch Eirik ist eine Zusammensetzung aus altnordisch æn ‚allein' und ríkr ‚Herrscher'.

Back at home, there lives a little maiden and she's called : Erika. That girl is my faithful little darling and my joy, Erika!

Even after losing in WWII for the second time, Germany became the locomotive of the entire EU, just like Japan in Asia. And some Muscovy (so-called ruzzia), having defeated these two countries and stolen other people’s territories, is still located at the level of developing countries. The Muscovites could never build a state on their own, without the Germans or other peoples of Europe. PS: Sorry for my English, I am a Ukrainian who knows only ruzzian perfectly, and who has been studying English for over 10 years.

The translation and animation doesn't get the point of the song. The plant that forms the heath is called "heather" in English and "Erika" or "Heidekraut" in German. So a translation that would catch more of the spirit of the song would tranlate Erika with "Heather" as this is also the name of that particular flower and the name of a girl in English.

@@johanvandermeulen9696 It's really interesting point, parts of England were affected greatly by Saxon influx. I've known this since the 1970s. We used to say, that we knew where a person was from by his face (UK) and we tested this by asking fellow drinkers (pubs) where the originated from. Of course this has been slewed somewhat with the large influx of very different gene pool. Also, your Celt theory is born out too, parts of the UK is populated by Celtish looking folk. Peace be unto you.
I wish there could be other German songs with this type of animation.
This song is so beautiful
I march with this song in my head. Love it.
I named my daughter after this song.

Always good.
It doesn't matter who wrote it in the first place and why, it was translated and adapted at the time of its creation for other countries, even in the USSR, in Finland the song is about "Kaarina" and the Soviet version too, there is also the English and US version "Erika". It's a pretty love song, a "musical hit" of its time. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hYuJm7manNaodcY.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/qZhh2rlviLzFetY.html
It's a actually a moving song... I really like it...
Catchy tune.

very interesting. Almost everyone has that response to this song. Not my grandfather. I showed him this, the first thing he did was grab an M1 Garand and an old ww2 US helmet and ran shouting out the door. Don't even know where he got that M1 garand....or the helmet. Very weird. Huh guess he wasn't in the mood to give heil fives.

@Wernher von Braun I mean there was no wrong enemy. It was either the Germans or the Japanese. And he wasn't assigned to a division that was stationed in the Pacific.

This german song shows some of the the german accomplishments made by the german empire, like their invention of plane in 1904, and their creation of zeppelin air blimps

Only for the zeppelin to be near useless in combat due that its large and slow and in the air plus with the Hindenburg that hydrogen was not a good fuel source for a massive balloon plane hybrid

It's NOT in fact a German song. This one is an adaptation of the Dutch original that dates from the 17th Century. Dutch settlers brought the song to South Afrika where it became a "Boer" song.
Really this is such a sweet song.
