GERMAN LYRICS
Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland?
Ist's Preußenland? Ist's Schwabenland?
Ist's wo am Rhein die Rebe blüht?
Ist's wo am Belt die Möwe zieht?
O nein, nein, nein!
|: Sein Vaterland muss größer sein! :|
Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland?
Ist's Bayerland? Ist's Steierland?
Ist's, wo des Marsen Rind sich streckt?
Ist's, wo der Märker Eisen reckt?
O nein, nein, nein!
|: Sein Vaterland muss größer sein! :|
Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland?
Ist's Pommerland? Westfalenland?
Ist's, wo der Sand der Dünen weht?
Ist's, wo die Donau brausend geht?
O nein, nein, nein!
|: Sein Vaterland muss größer sein! :|
Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland?
So nenne mir das große Land!
Ist's Land der Schweizer? Ist's Tirol?
Das Land und Volk gefiel mir wohl.
Doch nein, nein, nein!
|: Sein Vaterland muss größer sein! :|
Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland?
So nenne mir das große Land!
Gewiss, es ist das Österreich,
An Ehren und an Siegen reich?
O nein, nein, nein!
|: Sein Vaterland muss größer sein! :|
Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland?
So nenne endlich mir das Land!
So weit die deutsche Zunge klingt
Und Gott im Himmel Lieder singt:
Das soll es sein! Das soll es sein!
|: Das wackrer Deutscher, Nenne dein! :|
Das nenne dein!
Das ganze Deutschland soll es sein!
O Gott vom Himmel, sieh darein
Und gib uns rechten deutschen Mut,
Dass wir es lieben treu und gut!
|: Das soll es sein! Das soll es sein!
Das ganze Deutschland soll es sein! :|
Das soll es sein!
Das ganze Deutschland soll es sein!

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
What is the German fatherland?
Is it Prussia? Or Swabia?
Is on Rhine, where fine vines are found?
Or Belt, where seagulls' cries resound?
Oh no, no, no!
|: That fatherland is greater though! :|
What is the German fatherland?
Is Bavaria? Or Styria?
Is Marsland, where cattles are herded?
or Markland, where irons are smelted?
Oh no, no, no!
|: That fatherland is greater though! :|
What is the German fatherland?
Pomerania? Or Westphalia?
Is it where Sand Dunes by wind blows?
Or where the Danube rush its flows?
Oh no, no, no!
|: That fatherland is greater though! :|
What is the German fatherland?
That I can call a true great land!
Is Switzerland, of snow and ice?
Or Tyrol, where the folks are nice?
But no, no, no!
|: That fatherland is greater though! :|
What is the German fatherland?
That I can call a true great land!
Is it Austria, certainly,
Abundant in wealth and glory?
Oh no, no, no!
|: That fatherland is greater though! :|
What is the German fatherland?
That I finally can call my land!
It's where spoken the German tongues
who praises God in Heaven with songs:
Those are the ones! Those are the ones!
|: Name that land yours, o brave Germans! :|
The whole Germany should be those!
Oh God in heaven, be with us,
and give us, true Germans, the strength
so we'll love it till our last breath!
|: That is the one! That is the one!
The whole Germany should be one!:|
======================================
This is the Greater Germany according to the wishes of the listener of this song. The dark green is the current Germany. The Greater Germany is inside the green border, with the territory in light green, superimposed with current borders (in red) with other countries (territory in yellow). It can be seen in this map that the Greater Germany covers the territories which are currently belonged to the countries Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Liechtenstein, France, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, and Russia; which totals roughly 2,5 times greater than current 'Germany'.
"Von der Maas bis an die Memel,
von der Etsch bis an den Belt."
[from the Meuse (in France) to the Nemunas (in Lithuania),
from the Adige (in Italy) to the Belt (in Denmark)]
part of the original lyrics of German anthem,
the German equivalent of Indonesian
"Dari Sabang ke Merauke, dari Miangas ke Rote"
