Ode an die freunde
O freunde, nicht diese toene!
Sondern lasst uns angenehmere anstimmen und
Freundenvollere!
O friends! Not these sounds!
But let us strike up more pleasant sounds and more
Joyful!
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
Joy, o 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
Wem der grosse wurf gelungen
Eines freundes freund zu sein
Wer ein holdes weib errungen
Mische seine jubel ein!
Ja - wer auch nur eine seele
Sein nennt auf dem erdenrund!
Und wer's nie gekonnt, der stehle
Weinend sich aus diesem bund!
The man who's been so fortunate
To become the friend of a friend
The man who has won a fair woman -
To the rejoicing let him add his voice
The man who calls but a single soul
Somewhere in the world his own!
And he who never managed this -
Let him steal forth from our throng!
Freude trinken alle wesen
An den bruesten der natur
Alle guten, alle boesen
Folgen ihre rosenspur
Kuesse gab sie uns und reben
Einen freund, geprueft im tod
Wollust ward dem wurm gegeben
Und der cherub steht vor gott
Joy is drunk by every creature
From nature's fair and charming breast
Every being, good or evil
Follows in her rosy steps
Kisses she gave to us, and vines
And one good friend, tried in death
The serpent she endowed with base desire
And the cherub stands before God
Froh, wie seine sonnen fliegen
Durch das himmels praecht'gen plan
Laufet, brueder, eure bahn
Freudig wie ein held zum siegen
Gladly as his suns do fly
Through the heavens' splendid plan
Run now, brothers, your own course
Joyful like a conquering hero
Seid umschlungen, millionen!
Diesen kuss der ganzen welt!
Brueder - ueberm sternenzelt
Muss ein lieber vater wohnen
Embrace each other now, you millions!
The kiss is for the whole wide world!
Brothers - over the starry firmament
A beloved father must surely dwell
Ihr stuerzt nieder, millionen?
Ahnest du den schoepfer, welt?
Such ihn ueberm sternenzelt
Ueber sternen muss er wohnen
Do you come crashing down, you millions?
Do you sense the creators presence, world?
Seek him above the starry firmament
For above the stars he surely dwells
