Auferstanden aus Ruinen
Risen from the ruins and faced towards the future,
Let us serve you for the good, Germany, united fatherland.
Old woes we will have to conquer, and, united, so we shall,
For it lays within our power that the sun, beautiful as never before,
Shines over Germany. (bis)
Happiness and peace be granted Germany, our fatherland.
All the world now longs for peace, so go forth and extend your hand.
When as brothers we unite, we defeat the people´s foe.
Let it shine, the light of Peace! so that no mother again must
Mourn her son. (bis)
Let us plough, let us build, learn and work as never before,
And, in confidence and strength, a free generation will come forth.
German youth, the best endeavor of our people combined in you,
You will give Germany new life. Then may the sun, more beautiful than ever
Shine over Germany
