What does the German part in "Feuerroter Pfeil und Bogen"/Guren No Yumiya mean? The YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OkpRK2_gVs says it's &quot;Sind Sie das Essen? Nein, wir sind die Jäger!&quot;

However, the YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgBUP8TJqV8 writes &quot;Sie sind das Essen und wir sind die Jäger!&quot;


Depending on which translation it used, two different meanings can come across. In the first one, it's a rhetorical question &quot;Are you the prey?&quot; to what is responded to with &quot;No, we are the hunters.&quot; In the second version, it appears to be more of an insult &quot;You are the prey and we are the hunters.&quot;
Which is it?
Both of the video's seem to get the first part of the lyrics wrong. However, the narrative on the first one, eg. question &gt; answer, is indeed the one they tried to get across.
According to the CD booklet, the song 紅蓮の弓矢 歌詞 by Linked Horizon starts with the following sentences:

All though a tad hard to read, the sentences seem to be as follows

Seid ihr das Essen?
Nein, wir sind der Jäger!

Leaving the correctness of the German pronunciation/usage aside, which is nicely covered on reddit, this would roughly translate to:

Are you the food?
No, we are the hunters!
