O
Freunde,
nicht
diese
Töne!
My
friend,
no
more
these
sounds!
Sondern
lasst
uns
angenehmere
anstimmen
But
let's
find
a
more
pleasing
tune
Und
freudenvollere!
And
more
full
of
joy
Freude
schöner
Götterfunken,
Joy,
a
splendid
spark
from
heaven,
Töchter
aus
Elysium,
Daughter
of
Elysium,
Wir
betreten
feuertrunken,
We
enter,
aflame
with
fire,
Himmlische
dein
Heiligtum!
Thy
heavenly
sanctuary
Deine
Zauber
binden
wieder,
Thy
magic
reunites,
Was
die
Mode
streng
geteilt;
What
fashion
has
harshly
divided;
Alle
Menschen
werden
Brüder,
All
men
become
brothers,
Wo
dein
sanfter
Flügel
weilt.
Where
thy
gentle
wing
abides.
Wem
der
grosse
Wurf
gelungen,
To
whom
has
this
great
destiny
been
achieved,
Eines
Freundes
Freund
zu
sein,
To
be
a
friend
to
a
friend,
Wer
ein
holdes
Weib
errungen,
Who
has
won
a
lovely
wife,
Mische
seinen
Jubel
ein.
Let
him
join
his
jubilation.
Ja,
wer
auch
nur
eine
Seele
Yes,
even
he
who
can
call
but
one
soul
Sein
nennt
auf
dem
Erdenrund!
His
own
on
this
earth
Und
wer's
nie
gekonnt,
der
stehle
And
he
who
has
never
been
able
to
do
so
Weinend
sich
aus
diesem
Bund
Let
him
steal
weeping
from
this
union
Freude
trinken
alle
Wesen
All
beings
drink
of
joy
An
den
Brüsten
der
Natur;
At
nature's
breast
Alle
Guten,
alle
Bösen
All
good,
all
evil
Folgen
ihrer
Rosenspur.
Follow
her
trail
of
roses
Küsse
gab
sie
uns
und
Reben,
She
gave
us
kisses
and
vines
Einen
Freund,
geprüft
im
Tod;
A
friend,
tested
in
death
Wollust
ward
dem
Wurm
gegeben,
Pleasure
was
given
to
the
worm
Und
der
Cherub
steht
vor
Gott!
And
the
cherub
stands
before
God
Froh,
wie
seine
Sonnen
fliegen
Joyful,
as
his
suns
fly
Durch
des
Himmels
prächt'gen
Plan,
Through
the
heavens'
magnificent
plan
Laufet,
Brüder,
eure
Bahn,
Run,
my
brothers,
your
course,
Freudig,
wie
ein
Held
zum
Siegen.
Joyfully,
as
a
hero
to
victory
Seid
umschlungen,
Millionen.
Embrace,

Above
the
starry

Muss
ein
lieber
Vater
wohnen.
There

a

father
Ihr
