Talk:Heil dir im Siegerkranz

A translation would be cool --Grevlek 04:15, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)

Provided, although it could use some edits. Brutannica 01:24, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The translation is more precise now. Feel free to smooth the English...

Thanks, although I didn't understand some of the edits in stanza 4. Also, my dictionary says "majestic" is a better translation for "hehr," "noble" being used more for people. And I hope "many a year" will suffice for "lang"... Brutannica 03:08, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

I suggest to alter the translation in stanza 1 ("Feel in the throne's glow, The high ecstasy in full, To be darling of thy people!) as follows "Fell in the throne's splendour, The delight in full, to be the favourite of thy people!" 89.50.29.45 (talk) 12:46, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Why does the translation use older English pronouns like thee and thine? The translation of those words should be you and your since thee and thy are no longer used in English and are what my German textbook translates sein, dir, etc as. Emperor001 (talk) 20:24, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Because it's somewhat apt to an anthem, and because it is, as an information about culture, not altogether insignificant that the Emperor was, here, thoued instead of talked to with, at the very least, courtesy pronouns, if not an ever-repeated "Your Majesty" (as one would have in "real life").--2001:A60:1500:C801:28ED:4F5A:B446:5915 (talk) 11:46, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

The text was originally written for a Danish king

Most of this text was originally written in honour of King Christian VII of Denmark, this should be reflected somehow. There is a little more information about it here: [1] Valentinian ^{(talk) / (contribs)} 22:43, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Royal English Anthem

Accidentally, the melody is identical with "God Save The Queen". Should be mentioned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.157.60.188 (talk) 01:43, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Audio sample

Th audio sample is that of the anthem of Lichtenstein. Antondimak (talk) 21:06, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

"Kaiser Wilhelm" always referred to Wilhelm I?

The words "Kaiser Wilhelm" now refer to Wilhelm II, but I think Wilhelm I was meant irrespective of the present ruler - they did not change it to "Kaiser Friedrich" during Friedrich III's reign, and Wilhelm II built up quite a cult around his grandfather (which obviously rubbed off on himself). --Ilja.nieuwland (talk) 18:30, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
