Ich halte dich in meinem Arm umfangen,
Wie ein Saatkorn ist die Hoffnung aufgegangen.
Wird sich nun der Traum erfüllen,
derer die ihr Leben gaben für das kaum erträumte Glück.
Leben ohne Angst zu haben, leben ohne Angst zu haben.

Twentieth Party Congress

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

I hold you in my arm.
Like a seed, hope has sprouted.
Will the dream now be fulfilled
Of those who gave their lives
For the barely dreamed-of happiness:
To live without anxiety.
