The European Anthem is also known as the "Ode to joy". It is based on the Symphony No. 9's final movement which was composed by Ludwig Van Beethoven, a German musician from the XVIII century. The Anthem has no official lyrics, but there are some versions which do have.
Hymne à l'universelle humananité
Que la Joie qui nous appelle,
Nous accueille en sa clarté,
Que s'éveille sous son aile
L'allégresse et la beauté !
Plus de haine sur la terre,
Que renaisse le bonheur ;
Tous les Hommes sont des frères,
Quand la Joie unit les cœurs.
Ode An die Freude
Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
Tochter aus Elysum!
Wir betreten feuertrunken,
Himmlische, Dein Heiligtum.
Deine Zauber binden wieder,
Was die Mode streng geteilt,
Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
Wo Dein sanfter Flügel weilt.
