The Council of European Ministers officially announced the European Anthem on January 19th 1972 at Strasbourg: the prelude to “The Ode to Joy”, 4th movement of Ludwig van Beethoven’s 9th symphony.

The job of officially interpreting the work was given to Herbert von Karajan. .
The text by Friedrich von Shiller was not kept for the European Anthem, for obvious reasons of translation, but the music is universal.

The anthem lasts 2 minutes.

 


English text of European Anthem
by Peter Diem

Unity has come to Europe,
Unity is here to stay.
Unity is our future –
Long live Europe, come what may!

North and South will work together
Just as friends and neighbours should.
East and West will grow together –
Brotherhood and sisterhood!

Europe, may your peoples flourish,
Let the common banner rise!
Stars of gold and dark blue skies
Are the colours that we prize.

Ode to Joy

Joy, bright spark of divinity,
Daughter of Elysium,
Fire-inspired we tread
Thy sanctuary.
Thy magic power re-unites
All that custom has divided,
All men become brothers
Under the sway of thy gentle wings.

Whoever has created
An abiding friendship,
Or has won
A true and loving wife,
All who can call at least one soul theirs,
Join in our song of praise ;
But any who cannot must creep tearfully
Away from our circle.

All creatures drink of joy
At nature’s breast.
Just and unjust
Alike taste of her gift ;
She gave us kisses and the fruit of the vine,
A tried friend to the end.
Even the worm can fell contentment,
And the cherub stands before God !

Gladly, like the heavenly bodies
Which He set on their courses
Through the splendour of the firmament ;
Thus, brothers, you should run your race,
As a hero going to conquest.

You millions, I embrace you.
This kiss is for all the world !
Brothers, above the starry canopy
There must dwell a loving Father.
Do you fall in worship, you millions ?
World, do you know your Creator ?
Seek Him in the heavens !
Above the stars must He dwell.
