Hey those ain't too bad.

Here's a ruff translation cribbed from my college daze:

Joy at the woes of others, heavenly spark of the Gods
Daughter of Elysium
Drunk with fire we trespass
Upon thy heavenly realm

BTW, Schiller's original word choice was of course "Freude."

And the title "An der Freude" is usually translated "Ode to Joy."

Immortalized in the final movement of Beethoven's Ninth.
