Das Lied der Deutschen [Deutschlandlied] [English translation]

German Land is high above all

Above all in all the world

If in constant guard and struggle

It unites in brothers’ hold

From the Maas up to the Memel

From the Etsch to the Belt shore

German Land is high above all

Above all in all the world

German women, German good faith

German wine and German song

Have to save and keep forever

Their highest chime of all

And inspire us all to good deeds

Through our lives all the way long

German women, German good faith

German wine and German song!

Unity, the Right and Freedom

All for German Fatherland!

Let us all be working for it

With fraternal heart and hand

Unity, the Right and Freedom

Are the base of our good fate

Bloom in this bliss of good fortune

Bloom on, German Fatherland!
