Our German Thing



Ramp up the volume, start player, stand up, and sing ya big whimp.
Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt,
Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
Brüderlich zusammenhält,
Von der Maas bis an die Memel,
Von der Etsch bis an den Belt -
Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt.

Germany, Germany above all *
Above everything in the world *
When, always, for protection and defense
Brothers stand together.
From the Maas to the Memel
From the Etsch to the Belt,
Germany, Germany above all
Above all in the world.   

*The sentiment of the first two lines is:
"Esteemed above everything in the world",
(as most citizens express of their homeland)
not "rulers of the world."
At the time it was written, it was a call to
unite the many independent states into
one unified Germany.
