Weimars Volkslied
 (Sung text for setting by F. Liszt)
 See original
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Von der Wartburg Zinnen nieder
Weht ein Hauch und wird zu Klängen,
hallt von Ilm und Saale wieder
hell in frohen Festgesängen.
Und vom Land, wo sie erschallten,
Tönt's in alle Welt hinaus:
Möge Gott dich stets erhalten,
Weimars edles Fürstenhaus!

Hochgepries'ner Helden Wiege,
Wirkungsstätte edler Frauen,
Felsenfest in Leid und Siege
Zierest du die deutschen Gauen.
Deiner Ahnen edles Walten
Strömt Gedeihen auf dich aus:
Möge Gott dich stets erhalten,
Weimars edles Fürstenhaus!

 ... 

Schöne Sage deutscher Treue
Lebe fort in Fürst und Bauer,
Volkes Liebe sei die neue,
stets lebend'ge Wartburgsmauer.
Laßt die Banner uns entfalten,
Heut' wie einst der Zeit voraus!
Möge Gott dich stets erhalten,
Weimars edles Fürstenhaus!
