Shingeki no Kyojin Opening Theme:
Romaji Lyrics:
Sie sind das Essen und Wir sind die Jaeger!
Feuerroter Pfeil und Bogen
Fumareta hana no namae mo shirazu ni
Chi ni ochita tori wa kaze o machiwabiru
Inotta tokoro de nani mo kawaranai
Ima o kaeru no wa tatakau kakugo da
Shikabane fumikoete
Susumu ishi o warau buta yo
Kachiku no annei kyogi no hanei
Shiseru garou no jiyuu o!
Torawareta kutsujoku wa hangeki no koushi da
Jouheki no sono kanata emono o hofuru Jaeger
Hotobashiru shoudou ni sono mi o yaki nagara
Tasogare ni hi o ugatsu guren no yumiya
Ya o tsugae oikakeru yatsu wa nigasanai
Ya o hanachi oitsumeru kesshite nigasanai
Genkai made hikishiboru hachikiresou na tsuru
Yatsu ga ikitaeru made nando demo hanatsu
Emono o korosu no wa dougu demo gijutsu demo nai
Togisumasareta omae jishin no satsui da
Wir sind die Jaeger! Honoo no you ni atsuku
Wir sind die Jaeger! Kouri no you ni hiyayaka ni
Wir sind die Jaeger! Onore o ya ni komete
Wir sind die Jaeger! Subete o tsuranuiteyuke
Angriff auf die Titanen
Der Junge von einst wird bald zum Schwert greifen
Wer nur seine Machtlosigkeit beklagt kann nichts veraendern
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 Zaehne zeigen
Nanika o kaeru koto ga dekiru no wa
Nanika o suteru koto ga dekiru mono
Nanihitotsu 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 o nozomu Ehren
Tomedonaki shoudou ni sono mi o okasare nagara
Yoiyami ni shi o hakobu meifu no yumiya

English Translation:
They are the food* and we are the hunters!
Crimson Bow and Arrow
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 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 tools nor your skills at using it
But your own sharp killing intent
We are the hunter -> passionate as flames!
We are the hunter -> cold as ice!
We are the hunter -> pour your heart and soul into your arrow!
We are the hunter -> 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 anything.
The 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, Eren yearns for freedom
With relentless killer impulse assailing his body, he carries violet to dusk-
With an arrow from Hades
(*'Das Essen' is 'the food'. The German word for 'Prey' is 'die Beute' or perhaps 'das Opfer' if one is being metaphorical.)
