Königin Nicht diese wilden blut'gen Lieder, Sie trüben nur den frohen Blick! Senkt euren Flug zur Erde wieder, Kehrt zu den Lebenden zurück! Zu Sang und Spiel sind wir vereint, Vom Hauch des Grabes keine Spur! Die Wahrheit, die ihr meinet, Lebt ja in eurem Liede nur! Auf! singet schöner Thaten Lohn, Wie's edlen Barden ziemt! Ein Lied, das Mannestugend preist, das Vaterland uns rühmt! Chorus Der Männer Preis, der Helden Ruhm, Der Krieger Schlachtgesang: Das ist wahre Sängerthum, Das ist der echte Klang! Jüngling: Wohlan es sei! Sie hat geboten, und ihren Dienst sind wir bereit. Stimm' an die deutsche Hymne, ein Freiheitslied aus schöner Zeit!

La reina: No aquests cants ferotges i sanguinaris, ells només enterboleixen els esguards feliços! Abaixeu la vostra volada de nou a la terra, retorneu als vivents! Estem reunits per cantar i jugar, cap indici de l’hàlit de la tomba! La realitat a la que us referiu, viu només en les vostres cançons! Au! Canteu del premi a les bones accions, com s’escau als nobles bards! Una cançó que enalteix la virtut dels homes ens glorifica la pàtria! Cor: El valor dels homes, la glòria dels herois, el cant de batalla dels guerrers: aquest és el veritable domini dels cantaires, aquest és l’autèntic cant! El jovencell: Doncs bé, que sigui així! Ella ho ha manat i estem disposats al seu servei. Entoneu l’himne alemany, un cant de llibertat d’un temps millor!
