Vom Hoh'n Olymp Herab is a German song by Heinrich Schnoor (1762 - 1828).
Although Schnoor is usually seen as a composer of the melody, the text is also attributed to Friedrich Schiller, who wrote it in Jena in 1789. The melody serves today as a melody for the Frisian anthem. Text
1. From the high Olympus the joy came to us, the youthful dream was brought to us; d'rum, trusted brothers, despite the pale envy that disturbs our youthful pleasures! |: Solemnly, the cheering song of swarming brothers cheers on the cup! : |
2. Plunging into the sea of youthful bliss, we laugh the joys of high numbers, until sometime late in the evening, the sun no longer charmed us with its beam. |: Solemnly, the cheering song of swarming brothers cheers on the cup! : |
3. As long as God pleases you, dear brothers, let us rejoice in this life and when the curtain falls down on us one day, it pleasures us to rejoin the fathers. |: Solemnly, the cheering song of swarming brothers cheers on the cup! : |
4. Mr. Brother, drink to the well-being of your beautiful, that enlivens your youth's dream! Let her shout to Ehr 'a brisk high that you tremble through every nerve! |: Solemnly, the cheering song of swarming brothers cheers on the cup! : |
5. Is one of our brothers then divorced, demanded of pale death, so we weep and wish peace and quiet in our brother's cool grave. |: Weep and wish rest, in our brother's cool grave! : | Externe link
