Beethoven called forth Schiller’s message of
universal brotherhood as a powerful manifestation for
political freedom, for humanity, against repression. So
he created an lasting symbol of a Good Life filled with
brotherhood, unity, and freedom throughout the whole
world.
PAROLES Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
Tochter aus Elysium,
Wir betreten feuertrunken,
Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!
Deine Zauber binden wieder,
Was die Mode streng geteilt;
Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.
Wem der große Wurf gelungen
Eines Freundes Freund zu sein;
Wer ein holdes Weib errungen
Mische seinen 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!
Joy, beautiful spark of divinity, daughter from Elysium,
We enter, burning with fervour, heavenly being, your sanctuary!
Your magic brings together what custom has sternly divided.
All men shall become brothers, wherever your gentle wings hover.
Whoever has been lucky enough to become a friend to a friend,
Whoever has found a beloved wife, let him join our songs of praise!
Yes, and anyone who can call one soul his own on this earth!
Any who cannot, let them slink away from this gathering in tears!
