A hymn for Europe, for freedom and peace. I hope it’s ok to post it here, even though it’s in German.
Here’s a translation of the lyrics:
Hello Europe, this is your child speaking
I want to tell you how tired I am
Do you hear, Europe, how angry they sound
How loudly my brothers sing the praise of the old
We stand for the good, we have sworn to each other
I have already lost some sisters in the fight
They give the old a new look
Deceptively tame but certainly not good
Europe, Europe, do you hear the wind
How it loudly sings of hostility and borders
As one of your children, I'm begging you
That the old can not win again
I heard stories, I thought they were old
But now I know, the time has come again
The old men are being worshipped again
And the old thoughts are being taught again
Europe, Europe, do you hear the wind
How it sings the reverberation of our history
As one of your children, I'm begging you,
That the old can not win again. (2x)
Europe, tell me, why are we so blind
Don't see that we all are your children
Europe, listen carefully how it sounds
When old hatred infiltrates the hearts
Europe, Europe, do you hear your child
how much it craves for peace and freedom
I am one of your children and I'm begging you
Be a home to us, and a peaceful country
Be a home to us, bring us together again
