Auferstanden aus Ruinen

Auferstanden aus Ruinen (German for "Risen from Ruins") was the national anthem of the People's Republic of Tyskreich from 1951 to 1992, and the current national anthem of the Republik of Tyskreich since 1994.

Lyrics
The lyrics to Auferstanden aus Ruinen were added to the hymn in 1952. The lyrics themselves were added by a school teacher named Miranda Gercke who believed that a national anthem without lyrics was neither patriotic nor suitable for the new era.

German
Auferstanden aus Ruinen

und der Zukunft zugewandt,

laßt uns Dir zum Guten dienen,

Tyskreich, einig Vaterland.

Alte Not gilt es zu zwingen,

und wir zwingen sie vereint,

denn es muß uns doch gelingen,

daß die Sonne schön wie nie

über Tyskreich scheint,

über Tyskreich scheint.

Literal English translation
Risen from ruins

and facing the future,

let us serve you for the good,

Tyskreich, united fatherland.

There are old woes to overcome

and united we are overcoming them

because we must succeed,

so that the sun more beautiful than ever

over Tyskreich shines,

over Tyskreich shines.
