Joy, beutiful spark of God
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter drunk with fire,
Heavenly one, your sanctuary!
Your magic binds again
What custon sternly parts.
All men become brothers,
Where your gentle wing rests

Whoever has had the great fortune
To be a friend´s friend,
Whoever has won a devoted wife,
Join en our jubilation!
Indeed, whoever can call even one soul,
His own on this earth!
And whoever was never able to, must creep
Tearfully away from this band!

Joy all creatures drink
At the breasts of nature;
All good, all bad
Follow her trail of roses.
Kisses she giave us, and wine,
a friend proven in death;
Pleasure was to the worm given,
And the cherub stands before god.

Be ambraced, you millions!
This kiss for the world!
Brothers, above the starry canpy
Must a loving Father dwell.
DFo you bow down, millions?
Do you sense the creator, world?
Seek him beond the starry canopy!
Beond the stars must he dwell.

Be embreced, you millions!
This kiss for the whole world!
Brothers, beond the star-canopy
Most loving father dwell.
Be embraced,
This kiss for the whole world!
Joy beautiful spark of God,
Daughter of Elysium,
Joy, beautiful spark of God.
