Wait, herr, herr Ludwig!
You are not leaving so early?
I do not find this party amusing
Oh, but it is just beginning
Come, we will make it amusing, ja
You and I
Ladies and gentlemen, wait!
Herr Ludwig, this is for you
The sun on the meadow is summery warm
The stag in the forest runs free
But gather together to breathe the storm
Tomorrow belongs to me
The branch of the linden is leafy and green
The Rhine gives its gold to the sea
But somewhere a glory awaits unseen
Tomorrow belongs to me
Herr Ludwig, sing with me!
The baby in his cradle is closing his eyes
The blossom embraces the bee
But soon says a whisper
"Arise, arise"
Tomorrow belongs to me
Everyone!
Oh fatherland, fatherland, show us the sign
Your children have waited to see
The morning will come when the world is mine
Tomorrow belongs to me
Oh fatherland, fatherland, show us the sign
Your children have waited to see
The morning will come when the world is mine
Tomorrow belongs to me!
