Das Lied der Deutschen [Deutschlandlied] [English translation]

Germany, Germany above all things,

Above all things, in the world,

When, it's for protection and for our defense,

It stands always in brotherhood. (fraternity)

From the Meuse to the Nemen,

From the Adige to the Belt,

(Germany, Germany above all things,

Above all things in the world!) 2

German women, German loyalty,

German wine and German song

In this world it always will retain

Beauty and it's ancient resound

Inspiring us all to noble deeds

All throughout our lifetime.

(German women, German loyalty,

German wine and German song! ) 2

Unity, justice, and freedom

For the German fatherland!

Towards these let us all strive forth

Brotherhood in heart and deed

Unity, justice, and freedom :

The foundation of happiness;

( Flourish in the glow of this happiness,

Flourish, German fatherland!) 2
