I
Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser,
Unsern guten Kaiser Franz!
Lange lebe Franz, der Kaiser,
In des Glückes hellstem Glanz!
Ihm erblühen Lorbeerreiser,
Wo er geht, zum Ehrenkranz!
𝄆 Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser,
Unsern guten Kaiser Franz! 𝄇

II
Laß von seiner Fahne Spitzen
Strahlen Sieg und Fruchtbarkeit!
Laß in seinem Rate Sitzen
Weisheit, Klugheit, Redlichkeit;
Und mit Seiner Hoheit Blitzen
Schalten nur Gerechtigkeit!
𝄆 Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser,
Unsern guten Kaiser Franz! 𝄇

III
Ströme deiner Gaben Fülle
Über ihn, sein Haus und Reich!
Brich der Bosheit Macht, enthülle
Jeden Schelm- und Bubenstreich!
Dein Gesetz sei stets sein Wille,
Dieser uns Gesetzen gleich.
𝄆 Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser,
Unsern guten Kaiser Franz! 𝄇

IV
Froh erleb' er seiner Lande,
Seiner Völker höchsten Flor!
Seh' sie, Eins durch Bruderbande,
Ragen allen andern vor!
Und vernehm' noch an dem Rande
Später Gruft der Enkel Chor.
𝄆 Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser,
Unsern guten Kaiser Franz! 𝄇

I
God keep Francis the Emperor,
Our good emperor Francis!
Long live Francis the emperor,
In the brightest splendour of happiness!
May sprigs of laurel bloom for him
As a garland of honour, wherever he goes.
𝄆 God keep Francis the Emperor,
Our good emperor Francis! 𝄇

II
From the tips of his flag
May victory and fruitfulness shine!
In his council
May knowledge, wisdom and honesty sit!
And with his Highness's lightning
May justice but prevail!
𝄆 God keep Francis the Emperor,
Our good emperor Francis! 𝄇

III
May the abundance of thy gifts
Pour over him, his house and Empire!
Break the power of wickedness, and reveal
Every trick of rogues and knaves!
May thy Law always be his Will,
And may this be like laws to us.
𝄆 God keep Francis the Emperor,
Our good emperor Francis! 𝄇

IV
May he gladly experience the highest bloom
Of his land and of his peoples!
May he see them, united by the bonds of brothers,
Loom over all others!
And may he hear at the edge
Of his late tomb his grandchildren's chorus.
𝄆 God keep Francis the Emperor,
Our good emperor Francis! 𝄇

During Haydn's lifetime, his friend the musicologist Charles Burney, made an English translation of the first verse which is more poetical albeit less literal than the one given above:

God preserve the Emp'ror Francis
Sov'reign ever good and great;
Save, o save him from mischances
In Prosperity and State!
May his Laurels ever blooming
Be by Patriot Virtue fed;
May his worth the world illumine
And bring back the Sheep misled!
God preserve our Emp'ror Francis!
Sov'reign ever good and great.

Burney's penultimate couplet about sheep has no counterpart in the original German and appears to be Burney's own contribution.

Unsern guten Kaiser Franz,
Hoch als Herrscher, hoch als Weiser,
Steht er in des Ruhmes Glanz;
Liebe windet Lorbeerreiser
Ihm zum ewig grünen Kranz.
𝄆 Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser,
Unsern guten Kaiser Franz! 𝄇

II
Über blühende Gefilde
reicht sein Zepter weit und breit.
Säulen seines Throns sind Milde,
Biedersinn und Redlichkeit.
Und von seinem Wappenschilde
Strahlet die Gerechtigkeit.
𝄆 Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser,
Unsern guten Kaiser Franz! 𝄇

III
Sich mit Tugenden zu schmücken,
achtet er der Sorgen wert.
Nicht, um Völker zu erdrücken,
flammt in seiner Hand das Schwert;
sie zu segnen, zu beglücken,
ist der Preis, den er begehrt.
𝄆 Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser,
Unsern guten Kaiser Franz! 𝄇

IV
Er zerbrach der Knechtschaft Bande,
hob zur Freiheit uns empor.
Früh erleb’ er deutscher Lande,
deutscher Völker höchsten Flor
und vernehme noch am Rande
später Gruft der Enkel Chor:

Unsern guten Kaiser Franz! 𝄇

1854 version

[edit]

By the time that Franz Joseph was going to marry to Princess Elisabeth of Bavaria on 24 April 1854, new lyrics of the national anthem had to be finalised, a process in which time was urgently essence. He desired new lyrics that would remain relevant and unifying even the throne passed to a future emperor. Ultimately, the new text written by Johann Gabriel Seidl, whose incipit was "Gott erhalte, gott beschütze, unsern Kaiser, unser Land!", was formally adopted on 27 March 1854.

German original IPA transcription[a] English translation

I
Gott erhalte, Gott beschütze
unsern Kaiser, unser Land!
Mächtig durch des Glaubens Stütze
führ' Er uns mit weiser Hand!
Laßt uns Seiner Väter Krone
schirmen wider jeden Feind;
𝄆 Innig bleibt mit Habsburgs Throne
Österreichs Geschick vereint. 𝄇

II
Fromm und bieder, wahr und offen
laßt für Recht und Pflicht uns stehn,
laßt, wenn's gilt, mit frohem Hoffen
muthvoll in den Kampf uns gehn!
Eingedenk der Lorbeerreiser,
die das Heer so oft sich wand,
𝄆 Gut und Blut für unsern Kaiser,
Gut und Blut für's Vaterland! 𝄇

III
Was der Bürger Fleiß geschaffen
schütze treu des Kriegers Kraft;
mit des Geistes heitern Waffen
siege Kunst und Wissenschaft!
Segen sei dem Land beschieden,
und sein Ruhm dem Segen gleich:
𝄆 Gottes Sonne strahl' in Frieden
auf ein glücklich Österreich! 𝄇

IV
Laßt uns fest zusammenhalten,
In der Eintracht liegt die Macht;
Mit vereinter Kräfte Walten
Wird das Schwere leicht vollbracht,
Laßt uns Eins durch Brüderbande
Gleichem Ziel entgegengehn!
𝄆 Heil dem Kaiser, Heil dem Lande,
Österreich wird ewig stehn! 𝄇

V
An des Kaisers Seite waltet,
Ihm verwandt durch Stamm und Sinn,
Reich an Reiz, der nie veraltet,
Uns’re holde Kaiserin.
Was als Glück zu höchst gepriesen
Ström’ auf sie der Himmel aus:
𝄆 Heil Franz Josef, Heil Elisen,
Segen Habsburgs ganzem Haus! 𝄇
