Would any Germans here please cite that banned verse for us, translated into English. Thank you.

Kudos to Ms. Sylvia Stolz for standing up for her people, for truth and justice.

Tomasz,

They're probably talking about the first verse (I believe only the third
verse is "officially" used these days). Here is the gist:

Germany, Germany over everything,
over everything in the world.
When always, for protection and defense(?)
Brothers standing together.
From the Maas to the Memel.
From the Etsch to the Belt.
Germany, Germany over everything,
over everything in the world.

I think that this verse has been taken out of context over the years.
IIRC, it was meant as a call for a unified Germany, not an expression
of an intent of ruling the world.

It's always fun to sing the original verse amonst a group of Germans.
Most young Germans will recoil in terror, while many over 60 years old
will well up with tears of nostalgia and pride.
