National Anthem of Germany - Lied der Deutschen (Instrumental)

Das Lied der Deutschen ("The Song of the German people"), also known as Deutschlandlied, ("The Song of Germany") is the national anthem of Germany.
The music was written by Haydn in 1797 as the anthem of Austria. It was called "Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser" ("God protect our Emperor Franz"). The lyrics which are used today were written by the poet August Heinrich Hoffman von Fallersleben in 1841.

(English Lyrics / Translation)
Unity and justice and liberty
for the German fatherland ;
After these let us all strive together,
as brothers, with heart and hands.
Unity and justice and liberty
are the pledge for good fortune;
|: Flourish in the splendour of such fortune,
flourish, German fatherland. :|
