Erika! [German English Lyrics]
2023
Erika (Auf der Heide blüht ein kleines Blümelein) is a marching song of the German military. The song was composed by Herms Niel in 1939. Name "Erika" had been derived from the heather plant (German: Heide, Erika; Latin: Erica). Vast heather-yards are one of the proud symbols of German natural heritage.[citation needed] The song has also become traditional by the highly prussianized Chilean Army.
