O friends, not these tones!

O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!

But let's strike up more agreeable ones,

Sondern laßt uns angenehmere anstimmen,

And more joyful.

Und freudenvollere.

Joy, beautiful spark of the gods,

Freude, schöner Götterfunken,

Daughter from Elysium,

Tochter aus Elysium,

We enter, drunk with fire,

Wir betreten feuertrunken,

Heavenly, your sanctuary!

Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!

your spells bind again,

Deine Zauber binden wieder,

What fashion strictly divided;

Was die Mode streng geteilt;

All people become brothers,

Alle Menschen werden Brüder,

Where your gentle wing rests.

Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.

Who made the big hit

Wem der große Wurf gelungen,

to be a friend's friend

Eines Freundes Freund zu sein,

Mix in his cheers!

Mische seinen Jubel ein!

Yes, who even has a soul

Ja, wer auch nur eine Seele

His names on the earth round!

Sein nennt auf dem Erdenrund!

And whoever hasn't been able to steal

Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle

Weeping out of this covenant.

Weinend sich aus diesem Bund.

Follow their trail of roses.

Folgen ihrer Rosenspur.

she gave us kisses and vines,

Küsse gab sie uns und Reben,

A friend tried in death;

Einen Freund, geprüft im Tod;

Pleasure was given to the worm,

Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben,

And the cherub stands before God!

Und der Cherub steht vor Gott!

Happy how his suns fly

Froh, wie seine Sonnen fliegen

Through Heaven's magnificent plan,

Durch des Himmels prächt'gen Plan,

Run, brothers, your course,

Laufet, Brüder, eure Bahn,

Happy like a hero to victory.

Freudig, wie ein Held zum Siegen.

What fashion strictly divided;

Was die Mode streng geteilt;

All people become brothers,

Alle Menschen werden Brüder,

Where your gentle wing rests.

Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.

Be embraced, millions.

Seid umschlungen Millionen.

This kiss for the whole world!

Diesen Kuß der ganzen Welt!

Brothers!

Brüder!

over the starry sky

über'm Sternenzelt

Must a dear father live

Muß ein lieber Vater wohnen

You bring down millions?

Ihr stürzt nieder Millionen?

Do you suspect the Creator, world?

Ahnest du den Schöpfer, Welt?

Look for him over the starry sky!

Such' ihn über'm Sternenzelt!

He must dwell above the stars.

Über Sternen muß er wohnen.
