Auferstanden aus Ruinen
Und der Zukunft zugewandt,
Lass uns dir zum Guten dienen,
Deutschland, einig Vaterland.
Alte Not gilt es zu zwingen,
Und wir zwingen sie vereint,
Denn es muss uns doch gelingen,
Dass die Sonne schön wie nie
𝄆 Über Deutschland scheint. 𝄇

Glück und Friede sei beschieden
Deutschland, unserm Vaterland.
Alle Welt sehnt sich nach Frieden,
Reicht den Völkern eure Hand.
Wenn wir brüderlich uns einen,
Schlagen wir des Volkes Feind.
Lasst das Licht des Friedens scheinen,
Dass nie eine Mutter mehr
𝄆 Ihren Sohn beweint. 𝄇

Lasst uns pflügen, lasst uns bauen,
Lernt und schafft wie nie zuvor,
Und der eignen Kraft vertrauend,
Steigt ein frei Geschlecht empor.
Deutsche Jugend, bestes Streben
Unsres Volks in dir vereint,
Wirst du Deutschlands neues Leben,
Und die Sonne schön wie nie
𝄆 Über Deutschland scheint. 𝄇

Ауферщанден ауз руинен
Унд дер цукунфт цугевандт,
Лас унз дир цум гутн дийнен,
Дойчланд, айниг фатерланд.
Алте нот гилт ез цу цвинген,
Унд вир цвинген зи ферайнт,
Ден ез мус унз дох гелинген,
Дас ди зоне шён ви ни
𝄆 Юбер Дойчланд шайнт. 𝄇

Глюк унд фрийде зай бешийден
Дойчланд, унзерм фатерланд.
Але велт зейнт зих нах фрийден,
Райхт ден фёлкерн ойре ханд.
Вен вир брюдерлих унз айнен,
Шлаген вир дез фолкез файнд.
Ласт даз лихт дез фрийденз шайнен,
Дас ни айне мутер мeйр.
𝄆 Ийрен зоун бевайнт. 𝄇

Ласт унз пфлюген, ласт унс бауен,
Лернт унд шафт ви ни цуфор,
Унд дер айгнен крафт фертрауенд,
Щайгт айн фрай гешлехт емпор.
Дойче йугент, бещез щребен
Унзрез фолкс ин дир ферайнт,
Вирст ду дойчландз нойез лебен,
Унд ди зоне шён ви ни
𝄆 Юбер Дойчланд шайнт. 𝄇

English translations

Literal translation Singable version

1. Risen from ruins
And facing the future,
Let us serve you for the good,
Germany, united fatherland.
Old woes are to be overcome
And we overcome them united
Because we so must succeed,
[So] that the sun beautiful as never [before]
Over Germany shines,
Over Germany shines.

1. From the ruins risen newly,
To the future turned, we stand.
Let us serve your good weal truly,
Germany, our fatherland.
Triumph over bygone sorrow,
Can in unity be won.
For we shall attain a morrow,
When over our Germany,
There is radiant sun,
There is radiant sun.

2. Happiness and peace be granted
To Germany, our fatherland.
All the world longs for peace,
Reach your hand out to the peoples.
If brotherly we unite ourselves,
We shall defeat the people's enemy.
Let the light of peace shine
So that a mother never more
Mourns her son,
Mourns her son.

2. May both peace and joy inspire,
Germany, our fatherland.
Peace is all the world's desire,
To the peoples lend your hand.
In fraternity united,
We shall crush the people's foe.
Let all paths by peace be lighted,
That no mother shall again
Mourn her son in woe,
Mourn her son in woe.

3. Let us plough, let us build,
Learn and create like never before,
And, confident in immanent strength,
A free generation rises up.
German youth, best efforts
Of our people united in you,
You will become Germany's new life.
And the sun beautiful as never,
Over Germany shines,
Over Germany shines.

3. Let us plough and build our nation,
Learn and work as never yet,
That a free new generation,
Faith in its own strength beget!
German youth, for whom the striving
Of our people is at one,
You are Germany's reviving,
And over our Germany,
There is radiant sun,
There is radiant sun.
