German
Freude (Freude) O (Freude)
Freude, schoener Goetterfunken
Tochter aus Elysium
Wir betreten feuertrunken
Himmlische dein Heiligtum
Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt
Alle Menschen werden Brueder
Wo dein sanfter Fluegel weilt
(Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt
Alle Menschen werden Brueder
Wo dein sanfter Fluegel weilt)
Freude, schoener Goetterfunken
Tochter aus Elysium
Wir betreten feuertrunken
Himmlische dein Heiligtum
Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt
Alle Menschen werden Brueder
Wo dein sanfter Fluegel weilt
Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt
Alle Menschen werden Brueder
Wo dein sanfter Fluegel weilt
English translation
Joy (Joy) Oh (Joy)
Joy, oh wondrous spark divine
Daughter of Elysium
Drunk with fire now we enter
Heavenly one, your holy shrine
Your magic powers join again
What fashion strictly did divide
Brotherhood unites all men
Where your gentle wing's spread wide
(Your magic powers join again
What fashion strictly did divide
Brotherhood unites all men
Where your gentle wing's spread wide)
Joy, oh wondrous spark divine
Daughter of Elysium
Drunk with fire now we enter
Heavenly one, your holy shrine
Your magic powers join again
What fashion strictly did divide
Brotherhood unites all men
Where your gentle wing's spread wide
Your magic powers join again
What fashion strictly did divide
Brotherhood unites all men
Where your gentle wing's spread wide
