Luxembourg
: National Anthem
Our Homeland
Where
the Alzette slowly
flows,
The Sauer plays wild
pranks,
Where fragrant vineyards
amply grow
On the Mosella's banks;
There lies the land
for which we would
Dare everything down
here,
Our own, our native
land which ranks
Deeply in our hearts.
Our own, our native
land which ranks
Deeply in our hearts.
O
Thou above whose powerful
hand
Makes States or lays
them low,
Protect this Luxembourger
land
From foreign yoke
and woe.
Your spirit of liberty
bestow
On us now as of yore.
Let Freedom's sun
in glory glow
For now and evermore.
Let Freedom's sun
in glory glow
For now and evermore.

English Translation
(1) Where the Alzette
flows through the
meadows
The Sura bathes the
rocks;
Where the Moselle,
smiling and beautiful
We made a present
of wine
This is our country
for which
We risk everything
on earth;
Our homeland and adorable
home
Our soul which is
fulfilled.
Our homeland and adorable
home
Our soul which is
fulfilled.
(2) In its dark wood
crown
always guarded by
peace,
So without pomp and
splendor expensive
Comfortable love laughing.
His people can say
is happy
And there is no empty
dreams:
How nice life here
but,
how far is it from
home.
How nice life here
but,
how far is it from
home.
(3) Singing, singing,
mountain and valley
The earth that bore
us,
The "love has
a faithful echo
conducted in each
breast.
For a country way
too good
Every word that sounds
out of it,
Take the soul as sky
tome
And our eyes shining
like fire.
Take the soul as sky
tone
And our eyes shining
like fire.
(4) O Thou in heaven
that night and day
Leads the nation in
the world;
Excludes the country
of Luxembourg
The foreign oppression
Children we have received
from you
The spirit of liberty;
Let the sun of freedom
To shine forever.
Let the sun of freedom
To shine forever.
