\"Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Fuhrer, ein Volk\" (One people (nation), one empire/country (das Deutsche Reich), one leader (Hitler), one people(nation).)



One Hope, One people, One country, One leader.
One Hope, One people, One country, One destiny.

Stand up be brave my people we\'re here to stay, for a thousand years.
An oath you\'ve spoken, can never be broken, you\'ll pay, in blood and tears
Never tire, never doubt, never falter, never slacken, Just believe in me.
Stand up, shout loud, stand proud, in what we will we will achieve.

One Hope, One people, One country, One leader will set you free
One Hope, One people, One country, One destiny for a thousand years

Ein->The, One, Only


Explanation:
"Ein" in this case needs more explanation: Hitler means '[The One]' either '[The Only] one'. Or you could say that the one for god, or selected by god, as Bible could tell you, you see Hitler was Jew, by heritage.... [confirmed by DNA-analysis]
Sure Ein and Ein and Ein was for "The People [Ein Volk]" for to unite.

Example sentence(s):
  • Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer
