Dem Vaterland! Das ist ein hohes helles Wort, Das hallt durch uns're Herzen fort Wie Waldesrauschen, Glockenklang, Drommetenschmettern, Lerchensang, Das fällt ein Blitz in unsre Brust, Zu heil'ger Flamme wird die Lust! Dem Vaterland! Dem Vaterland! Das Wort gibt Flügel dir, o Herz! Flieg auf, flieg auf, schau niederwärts Die Wälder, Ströme, Tal und Höh'n: O deutsches Land, wie bist du schön! Und überall klingt Liederschall Und überall ein Widerhall: Dem Vaterland! Dem Vaterland! Das seinen Töchtern hat beschert Der keuschen Liebe stillen Herd, Das seinen Söhnen gab als Hort Die freie Tat, das treue Wort, Das seiner Ehren blanken Schild Zu wahren allzeit sei gewillt, Dem Vaterland! Dem Vaterland! O hohes Wort, o helles Wort, Du tön' für alle Zeiten fort Wie Waldesrauschen, Glockenklang, Drommetenschmettern, Lerchensang! Zu heil'ger Flamme weih' die Lust, So lange schlägt die deutsche Brust Dem Vaterland! Heil dir! Heil dir du deutsches Land!

A la pàtria! És un clar i sublim mot que ressona als nostres cors com la remor dels boscos, el toc de les campanes, el fragor de les trompetes o el cant de l’alosa, que cau com un llamp als nostres pits, i el nostre goig esdevé flama sagrada! A la pàtria! A la pàtria! El mot et dóna ales a tu, oh cor! Vola, vola, mira cap a baix els boscos, els rius, les valls i els tossals: oh terra alemanya, que n’ets de formosa! I arreu ressonen els cants i arreu se sent el ressò: A la pàtria! A la pàtria! Qui a les seves filles ha donat la llar tranquil•la d’un amor cast, qui als seus fills ha donat el tresor de la lliure acció, de la lleial paraula, que estigui sempre disposat a defensar l’honor del seu brillant escut. A la pàtria! A la pàtria! Oh mot sublim, oh clara paraula, ressonaràs per sempre com la remor dels boscos, el toc de les campanes, el fragor de les trompetes o el can de l’alosa! Conferiu el goig a aquesta flama sagrada tant de temps com bateguin els cors alemanys per la pàtria! Visca! Visca! Oh terra alemanya!
