The "Anthem of Europe" is the anthem of the Council of Europe and the European Union. It is based on "Ode to Joy" from Beethoven's 9th Symphony composed in 1823.
Ode to Joy
Joy, beautiful sparkle of the gods,
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter, fire-drunk,
Heavenly one, your shrine.
Your magics bind again
What custom has strictly parted.
All men become brothers
Where your tender wing lingers.
The Delegation of the European Union to Albania with the special attention of Ambassador Ettore Sequi, produced this song and this music video for the Nobel Peace Prize 2012 received on December 10, 2012 by Mr. Barroso, Mr. Van Rompuy and Mr. Schulz on behalf of the European Union.
Joy, bright spark of divinity,
Daughter of Elysium,
Fire-inspired we tread
Thy sanctuary.
Magic power re-unites
All that custom has divided,
All men become brothers
Under the sway of thy gentle wings.
