National Anthem
German Version
Trittst im Morgenrot daher,
Seh' ich dich im Strahlenmeer,
Dich, du Hocherhabener, Herrlicher!
Wenn der Alpen Firn sich rötet,
Betet, freie Schweizer, betet,
Eure fromme Seele ahnt
Gott im hehren Vaterland!
Gott, den Herrn, im hehren Vaterland!
French
Version
Sur
nos monts, quand le soleil
Annonce un brillant réveil,
Et prédit d'un plus beau jour le retour,
Les beautés de la patrie
Parlent à l'âme attendrie;
Au ciel montent plus joyeux
Les accents d'un coeur pieux,
Les accents émus d'un coeur pieux.
Italian
Version
Quando
bionda aurora
Il mattin c'indora,
L'alma mia t'adora
Re del Ciel.
Quando l'alpe già rosseggia
A pregare allor t'atteggia,
In favor del patrio suol,
Cittadino Iddio lo vuol,
Cittadino Dio, si Dio lo vuol.
Rumantsch
(Latin) Version
In l'aurora la daman
At cugnuoscha bain l'uman, Spiert etern dominatur,
Tuot pussant!
Cur ils munts straglüschan sura,
Ura, liber Svizzer, ura.
Tia orma sainta ferm
Dieu in tschêl, il bap etern.
Dieu in tschêl, il bap, il bap etern.
English
Version
When
the morning skies grow red
And o'er their radiance shed,
Thou, O Lord, appeareth in their light.
When the Alps glow bright with splendour,
Pray to God, to Him surrender,
For you feel and understand,
For you feel and understand,
That he dwelleth in this land.
That he dwelleth in this land.
In
the sunset Thou art nigh
And beyond the starry sky,
Thou, O loving Father, ever near.
When to Heaven we are departing,
Joy and bliss Thou'lt be imparting,
For we feel and understand
For we feel and understand
That Thou dwellest in this land.
That Thou dwellest in this land.
When
dark clouds enshroud the hills
And gray mist the valley fills,
Yet Thou art not hidden from Thy sons.
Pierce the gloom in which we cower
With Thy sunshine's cleansing power
Then we'll feel and understand
Then we'll feel and understand
That God dwelleth in this land.
That God dwelleth in this land.
