German lyrics

Do you know the city on the amber beach
surrounded by everlasting forests,
where slender gables strive
up to the sunshine!
Yes, should I live happily
it has to be in Danzig!
Do you know the city, where tower to tower
in loyalty defies the storm of times,
where proud ships glide
into the blue sea!
Yes, should I fight bravely,
it has to be for Danzig!
Do you know the city where German art
preserves her property full of strength and courage,
where German bells advertise
and German every stone!
Yes, I should die blessed,
it has to be in Danzig!
