No. 2
The German fatherland.
What is the German fatherland?
Is Prussia's country, it's Schwabenland?
Where's, where, on the Rhine vine blooms?
Where's, where, on the Belt seagull moves?
Oh no! No! No!
His father country must be greater.
What is the German fatherland?
If Bayer's land, it's Steierland?
Where's, where the beef is Marsen stretches?
Where's, where the Märker reckt iron?
Oh no! No! No!
His father country must be greater.
What is the German fatherland?
Where's Pommerland, Westphalia country?
Where's, where the sand dunes of blowing?
Where's, where the Danube brausend?
Oh no! No! No!
His father country must be greater.
What is the German fatherland?
So give me the great country!
Is the country's Swiss? It's Tyrol?
The country and people liked me well;
But no! No! No!
His father country must be greater.
What is the German fatherland?
So give me the great country!
Certainly it is the Austria,
An honor and victories rich?
Oh no! No! No!
His father country must be greater.
What is the German fatherland?
So give me the great country!
So far, the German tongue sounds
And God in heaven singing songs,
That's it!
That, wackrer German, thy name!
This is the German Fatherland,
Where oath swears the pressure of the hand,
Where loyalty bright flashes from the eye,
And love is warm in the heart --
That's it!
That, wackrer German, thy name!
This is the German Fatherland,
Where anger, the welschen Tand,
Where every Franzmann call enemy,
Where Germans call friend --
That's it!
The whole of Germany should be!
The whole of Germany should be!
O God look down from heaven burned
And gieb us right German courage,
The fact that we love it faithfully and well.
That's it!
The whole of Germany should be!
