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
