Lyrics are German.
"Ihr stürzt nieder, Millionen?
Ahndest du den Schöpfer, Welt?
Such’ ihn überm Sternenzelt,
über Sternen muß er wohnen."
Hard to understand in the 9th Symphony without knowing the lyrics as every word is stretched very long.
English translation:
"Do you fall down, you millions?
Do you sense the creator, world?
Seek him above the starry canopy,
Above the stars he must live."
It's from a poem "An Die Freude (Ode To Joy)" by Friedrich Schiller from 1785.
It's his most famous poem and also includes the "Freude, schöner Götterfunken" segment.
