Dear Germans, you have such a wonderful language. I love it.

[babakd]

As an American all I can say to Europe is defend yourselves and your history and culture.

[Voltaire]

This song makes me want to learn German, nothing is more beautiful than this song.

[ilttpvvm]

After all these years, ol' Ludwig still manages to pack 'em in!!!

[meholy]

As a Russian, still brings tears to my eyes. We shall protect our common European heritage. Long live Europa! Слава Европе!

[Dreamer-mdth]

Long live Europa
Long live the friendship our cultures

[likeforsure]

Im always amazed at how good it sounds when a lot of people sing together

[ideofapril]

The lyrics are from the poem "An die Freude" (Ode to joy) by Friedrich Schiller whose statue you see amidst the people. I find that very moving.

[florianw.]

[Sageman]

It's music like this that makes me wish the world could live in peace.

Strength through joy.
A true European anthem !

I’ve been looking for German songs cuz I was learning German but damn this anthem is better than anything I’ve listened to, way better than the English version. What a beautiful language!

[charles_]

Europe has the most beautiful culture <3

[ReisenderRaumplaner]

Möge eines Tages ganz Europa dieses Lied mit Enthusiasmus am Gründungstag der Vereinigten Staaten von Europa singen!!! 💜💜💜💜💜💜

[williamdeng]

A great song from Beethoven’s Ninth symphony that calls for peace and equality, moving people and God.

[EvaLieblich]

Just great - Thank you for sharing this!
Long live the EU

*Lyrics out from Google translator:*
Joy, beautiful spark of the gods,
Daughter from Elysium,
We enter, drunk with fire,
Heavenly, your sanctuary.
your spells bind again,
What fashion strictly divided,
All people become brothers,
Where your gentle wing rests.
your spells bind again,
What fashion strictly divided,
All people become brothers,
Where your gentle wing rests.

Who made the big hit
to be a friend's friend.
Whoever has won a devoted wife,
Mix in his cheers!
Yes - who even has a soul
His names on the earth round!
And whoever hasn't been able to steal
Weeping out of this covenant!
Yes - who even has a soul
His names on the earth round!
And whoever hasn't been able to steal
Weeping out of this covenant!

your spells bind again,
What fashion strictly divided,
All people become brothers,
Where your gentle wing rests.
