Schiller in Ode to Joy
1
Joy, beautiful and magical sparks,
Fairy of Elysium,
Goddess, we are so drunk,
Step into your sacred land.
For fashion, everything is ruthlessly divided,
Your magic will reconnect them;
As long as under your gentle wings,
Everyone became brothers.
Everybody in chorus! Embrace each other,
Kiss all over the world!
Brothers-In heaven,
There must be a heavenly father living there.
2
Who has that great nature,
Be friendly to friends,
Who can get a gentle woman,
Let him cheer together!
Really?-in this world.
As long as there is a person who can be called a confidant!
Otherwise, let him cry in the corner.
Leave our alliance.
All living in groups sing in chorus,
Please respect this feeling!
She will take you to the stars,
Take you to see the invisible heaven.
three
All beings from nature
Suck the happiness on the breast;
Everyone followed in her footsteps,
No matter who it is, good or evil.
Joy gives us kisses and grapes.
And a bosom friend;
Even maggots can get physical pleasure,
Not to mention the angel before god.
Chorus people, do you kneel on the ground?
People! Have you warned the Creator?
Please look for the heavenly father!
He must live in the sky.
four
Happiness is a powerful clockwork,
Let the eternal nature circulate endlessly.
In the world clock,
Happiness is the driving force behind the gear.
She made the bud blossom into a flower,
She let the sun shine in the sky,
Objects invisible to the telescope,
She makes them spin in space.
Chorus brothers! Please be happy,
Advance in the journey of life,
Like the planets in the sky,
Go to victory happily like a hero.
five
From the light mirror of truth,
Joey greeted the seeker with a smile.
She showed him a way to a martyr,
Lead him to the peak of morality.
On the sunny mountain of faith,
You can see the flag of joy flying,
Through the cracks in the coffin,
I also saw her standing in the chorus of angels.
Everybody in chorus! Please bear it bravely
For a better world tolerance!
On the other side of heaven,
The great god will reward us.
six
We can't repay the gods;
Just be as happy as God.
Don't care about poverty and depression,
Have fun with happy people.
We should forget about resentment and revenge,
Forgive your mortal enemy.
Don't make him cry,
Don't make him regret it.
The choir burned all our books!
Reconciliation with people all over the world!
Brothers-in the upper bound of the starry sky,
God is a judge, just like us.
seven
Joy gushed from the glass;
Drink this golden grape juice,
People who eat people will also become gentle,
Disappointed people also add courage-
Brothers, on the wine tour,
Please leave your seat,
Let bubbles splash into the sky;
Raise a glass to honor God.
The choir dedicated this cup of wine to the good god,
The gods in the upper bound of the starry sky,
The stars sang in praise of the gods,
Angels' hymns praise the gods!
eight
Courage in extreme pain,
Help those innocent people who shed tears,
The vows that have been made should always be kept,
We should treat our enemies and friends realistically,
Keep a man's dignity until the king comes-
Brothers, life and property are not precious-
Let the meritorious person wear the crown,
Let the deceiver be eliminated!
Chorus: We need to consolidate this sacred group.
With this golden wine,
Always be loyal to this contract,
Please swear to the judge under the stars!
Goddess of joy,
Sacred and beautiful,
The bright sunshine shines on the earth.
Our hearts are full of enthusiasm.
Come to your temple.
Your power can make people overcome all differences,
Unde your dazzling light,
People unite as brothers.
