Auferstanden Aus Ruinen - Instrumental

The national anthem of the German Democratic Republic (Deutsche Demokratische Republik).

After growing tired of the overly common vocal version, I decided to upload this. Enjoy.

German lyrics:


Auferstanden aus Ruinen
und der Zukunft zugewandt,
lasst uns Dir zum Guten dienen,
Deutschland, einig Vaterland.
Alte Not gilt es zu zwingen,
und wir zwingen sie vereint,
denn es muss uns doch gelingen,
dass die Sonne schön wie nie
über Deutschland scheint,
über Deutschland scheint.

Glück und Friede sei beschieden
Deutschland, unserm Vaterland.
Alle Welt sehnt sich nach Frieden,
reicht den Völkern eure Hand.
Wenn wir brüderlich uns einen,
schlagen wir des Volkes Feind.
Lasst das Licht des Friedens scheinen,
dass nie eine Mutter mehr
ihren Sohn beweint,
ihren Sohn beweint.

Lasst uns pflügen, lasst uns bauen,
lernt und schafft wie nie zuvor,
und der eignen Kraft vertrauend
steigt ein frei Geschlecht empor.
Deutsche Jugend, bestes Streben
unsres Volks in dir vereint,
wirst du Deutschlands neues Leben.
Und die Sonne schön wie nie
über Deutschland scheint,
über Deutschland scheint.


English translation:


Risen from the ruins
and faced towards the future,
Let us serve you for the good,
Germany, united fatherland.
Old woes have to be conquered,
and united so we shall,
For we must be successful for once
that the sun, beautiful as never before,
Shines over Germany,
shines over Germany.

Happiness and peace may be granted
Germany, our fatherland.
All the world longs for peace,
so Extend to the Peoples your hand.
When as brothers we unite,
we defeat the people's foe.
Let shine the light of Peace
so that no mother ever again must
Mourn her son,
mourn her son.

Let us plough, let us build,
do learn and work as never before,
And, with confidence in its own strength,
a free generation will come forth.
German youth, the best endeavor
of our people combined in you,
You will be Germany's new life.
And the sun, more beautiful than ever
Shine over Germany,
shine over Germany.

[captainjosue]

WOW. That was so beautiful.

@shinyGlurak The German People elected political parties to the Parliament (Reichstag). The National Socialist Party would have about 50% or more seats of the Reichstag in 1933 when he was sworn in by Hindembrug as Chancelor. His designation as Chancelor was a direct result of their democratic election to the Reichstag by the German People.

I wish I was from Europe, FUCK THE USA

@FalconRS thats not completely right, germans didn't vote directly for their "Führer" back then.

They elected President Paul Hindenburg, who had the right to choose the Kanzler by himself, so he took Hitler.

[FalconRS]

@Hypocrisy108 its still same song ;) and its not my fault that germans didnt have guts admit that war was theirs, not hitlers. NSDAP was chosen by majority in democratic election, you know :D

[Hypocrisy108]

@FalconRS u know dat nobody acutally sings the lyrics "deutschland deutschland über alles" in the german anthem today cause there is a bad link in the past ( hiter T.T )

[BrendanIsCool]

daß die donne schön wie nie

über deutschland scheint :'-)

[glooblede]

The GDR Soundtrack is much better than the boring FRG one.

[StarfishHeat]

Gahaha, good.
