Ode To Joy, the chorus of Beethoven's ninth symphony, fourth movement
The lyrics were written by Frederich von Schiller in 1785...
translated into English:
Joy, beautiful spark of the gods,
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter fire imbibed,
Heavenly, thy sanctuary.
Be embraced, Millions!
This kiss for all the world!
Brothers!, above the starry canopy
A loving father must dwell.
