Hu ha, hu ha
Hu ha, hu ha
Hu ha, hu ha
Hu ha, hu ha
Hu ha, hu ha
Hu ha, hu ha
Sie ritten um die Wette mit dem Steppenwind, tausend Mann (ha, hu, ha)
Und einer ritt voran, dem folgten alle blind, Dschingis Khan (hu ha, hu ha)
Die Hufe ihrer Pferde durchpeitschten den Sand
Sie trugen Angst und Schrecken in jedes Land
Und weder Blitz noch Donner hielt sie auf

Hu, ha, Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan
He Reiter, ho Reiter, he Reiter, immer weiter
Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan
Auf Brüder
Sauft Brüder
Rauft Brüder
Immer wieder
Lasst noch Wodka holen, oh ho ho ho
Denn wir sind Mongolen, ha ha ha ha 
Und der Teufel kriegt uns früh genug

Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan
He Reiter, ho Reiter, he Reiter, immer weiter
Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan
He Männer, ho Männer, tanzt Männer, so wie immer
Und man hört ihn lachen, oh ho ho ho
Immer lauter lachen, ha ha ha ha 
Und er leert den Krug in einem Zug

Und jedes Weib, das ihm gefiel, das nahm er sich in sein Zelt (ha, hu, ha)
Es hieß, die Frau, die ihn nicht liebte, gab es nicht auf der Welt (ha, hu, ha)
Er zeugte sieben Kinder in einer Nacht
Und über seine Feinde hat er nur gelacht
Denn seiner Kraft konnt keiner widerstehen

Hu, ha, Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan
He Reiter, ho Reiter, he Reiter, immer weiter
Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan
Auf Brüder
Sauft Brüder
Rauft Brüder
Immer wieder
Lasst noch Wodka holen, oh ho ho ho
Denn wir sind Mongolen, ha ha ha ha 
Und der Teufel kriegt uns früh genug

Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan
He Männer, ho Männer tanzt Männer, so wie immer
Dsching, Dsching, Dschingis Khan
He Männer, ho Männer, tanzt Männer, so wie immer
Und man hört ihn lachen, oh ho ho ho
Immer lauter lachen, ha ha ha ha 
Und er leert den Krug in einem Zug (ha, hu, ha, hu)
