Für Danzig

"Für Danzig" ("For Danzig") was the official national anthem of the Free City of Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland) from 1920 to 1939. The lyrics were written by Paul Enderling, while the music was by Georg Göhler.[1] After the invasion of Poland and the concurrent annexation of Danzig by Nazi Germany in 1939, Deutschlandlied was adopted as the official anthem, along with the Horst-Wessel-Lied.

Lyrics edit

German text English translation
Kennst du die Stadt am Bernsteinstrand,

umgrünt von ew'ger Wälder Band,

wo schlanke Giebel streben

empor zum Sonnenschein!

Ja, sollt' ich fröhlich leben,

in Danzig müßt es sein!

Do you know the city on the amber beach,

wreathed by everlasting green forests,

where slender gables stretch upwards

towards the sunshine!

Yes, I shall live merrily

it must be in Danzig!

Kennst du die Stadt, wo Turm an Turm

in Treue trotzt dem Zeitensturm,

wo stolze Schiffe gleiten

ins blaue Meer hinein!

Ja, sollt' ich tapfer streiten,

für Danzig müßt es sein!

Do you know the city, where tower at tower

loyally resists the storms of time

where proud ships glide

towards the blue sea!

Yes, I shall bravely fight

it must be for Danzig!

Kennst du die Stadt, wo deutsche Art

voll Kraft und Mut ihr Gut bewahrt,

wo deutsch die Glocken werben

und deutsch ein jeder Stein!

Ja sollt' ich selig sterben,

in Danzig müßt es sein!

Do you know the city, where German kind

defends its wealth with might and main,

where in German the bells invite

and where German's every stone!

Yes, I shall blessedly die,

it must be in Danzig!
