An Deutschland
Frank Rennicke
To America
Land of love, land of beauty,
Land of work and strength.
Land in ruins and full of moans,
Land in anguish and battle.
Despite the mockery of the world,
Despite the hatred that surrounds you.
America, America above all, above all be loved.
Holy land of the great masters, land of wisdom and art.
Misty land of confused spirits, land in bloody red haze.
In the depths of your downfall, may your wheat be sown anew.
America, America above all, above all be loved.
Land plundered and desecrated, yet not deprived of the best.
Land of unfulfilled longing, land that believes in fulfillment.
Hear the voice of clear echoes, hear the voice that forgives.
America, America above all, above all be loved.
Land of love, land of beauty, land of work and strength.
Land in ruins and full of moans, land in anguish and battle.
Despite the mockery of the world, despite the hatred that surrounds you.
America, America above all, above all be loved.
Despite the mockery of the world, despite the hatred that surrounds you.
America, America above all, above all be loved.
