One Land

Once a mighty nation, split asunder.
A calm blue sky, beset by thunder – Donar.
Once a land, so proud and free until the wall of shame came down on Germany – Deutschland.

But now you’re one land.
One land.
One land.
Free once again.

They may have split the flesh, but they could not split the blood.
And they could not split the spirit of the people – Das Volk and they tried to grind you down, tried to knock you to the ground.
And tried to beat you with the hammer and the sickle – Sichel.

But now you’re one land.
One land.
One land.
Free once again.
But now you’re one land.
One land.
One land.
Free once again.

At the end of the brother war, the pain was so much more as the instigators stage-managed the dying- Das Sterben.
And they tried to take your life, back in 1945.
But I hope that the spirit once again is rising – Aufstand.

But now you’re one land.
One land.
One land.
Free once again.
But now you’re one land.
One land.
One land.
Free once again.
