Autotranslation of the banned verses:

Outraged, your children, at the yoke imposed upon you by Iberian audacity, at the unjust and horrendous misfortune that weighed fatally upon you, raised a sacred voice to the heavens, a voice of noble and unparalleled oath, to avenge you against the bloody monster, to break that servile yoke.

Nothing on earth was invincible to the iron arms of these heroes, and from the valley to the highest mountain range, the din of battle was heard; after the battle, victory soared, freedom followed the triumph, and the shattered lion was heard roaring with impotence and spite.

At last, Spanish ferocity yielded, and today, oh Fatherland, your free existence is the noble and magnificent inheritance that happy heroism gave us; From our fathers’ hands we received it, let no one try to wrest it from us now, nor let anyone, foolish or audacious, try to stir up our vengeful wrath against themselves.

Let no one, oh Fatherland, attempt it. The shades of your glorious heroes look upon us, and the valor and pride they inspire are omens of triumphs for you. Let the iron and the lightning-fast lead come, for at the thought of war and vengeance the heroic strength awakens that made the fierce Spaniard succumb.

    Deutschland Deutschland über alles, über alles in der Welt

    May he sedition hush,
    and like a torrent rush
    Rebellious Scots to crush!
    God save the King!

    etc etc

      It’s Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit. The Germans abolished Deutschland Deutschland über alles after WW2.

        It’s two further examples of lines from national anthems that are not sung today.

        (and I’m not sure from your comment if you knew, but both the Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit, and Deutschland Deutschland über alles are lines from the same song - the Deutschlandlied)
