Text of the german national-anthem: Lied der Deutschen 3te Strophe

1st Strophe

Unity and right and freedom

Germany, Germany above all,

For the German Fatherland!

Above everything in the world,

Let us all strive to this goal,

When, always, for protection and defense

Brotherly, with heart and hand!

Brothers stand together,

Unity and rights and freedom

From the Maas to the Memel,

Are the pledge of fortune grand:

From the Etsch to the Belt

Flourish in this fortune's glory,

Germany, Germany above all,

Flourish German fatherland!

Above all in the world.

Flourish in this fortune's glory,

Germany, Germany above all,

Flourish German fatherland!

Above all in the world.

2te Strophe German women, German fidelity, German wine and German song Shall retain, throughout the world Their old respected fame, To inspire us to noble deeds For the length of our lives. German women, German fidelity, German wine and German song. German women, German fidelity, German wine and German song. 4te Strophe Deutschland, Deutschland über alles, Und im Unglück nun erst recht. Nur im Unglück kann die Liebe Zeigen, ob sie stark und echt. Und so soll es weiterklingen Von Geschlechte zu Geschlecht: Deutschland, Deutschland über alles, Und im Unglück nun erst recht. Deutschland, Deutschland über alles, Und im Unglück nun erst recht.
