Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland [Patriotic German unification song][+English translation]

Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland is a German patriotic song by Ernst Moritz Arndt (1813) which was popular in the 19th century. In the text, Arndt asks the German question and answers it by demanding a Greater German Nation state comprising all German-speaking areas in Europe. The song was performed for the first time in Berlin in 1814. As the original tune did not become popular, Gustav Reichardt wrote a new melody in 1825. This new tune made the song very popular among the German population that desired the transformation of the German Confederation into a united empire. Joachim Raff used Reichhardt′s tune as a leitmotif in his symphony An das Vaterland.
