Hino da Alemanha - Deutschlandlied (versão atual)

The 'Deutschlandlied', also known as the 'Song of Germany', is the national anthem of Germany, and its lyrics are a call to unity, justice, and freedom for the German nation. The version provided here is the third stanza of the original song, which has been officially adopted as the national anthem. The lyrics emphasize the importance of striving together, as brothers, with heart and hand, towards these ideals. The repetition of 'Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit' (unity, justice, and freedom) underscores their significance as the foundation of happiness and prosperity for the country.

The anthem is a symbol of German identity and reflects the values that are intended to be the pillars of German society. The phrase 'Sind des Glückes Unterpfand' suggests that these values are the guarantee or pledge ('Unterpfand') of fortune and well-being. The call for the fatherland to flourish in the radiance of this happiness serves as a poetic wish for the nation's prosperity and success. The repetition of the last two lines serves to reinforce this message and to instill it in the hearts of those who sing it.

Culturally, the 'Deutschlandlied' has evolved over time. The current official version, which consists only of the third stanza, was chosen to represent a Germany committed to democracy and freedom, distancing itself from past associations with nationalism and militarism. The anthem is a reminder of the country's journey and a commitment to a future based on the principles of unity, justice, and freedom for all its citizens.
