川が流れ、平野が広がる地に、
太陽の抱擁の下、露の優しい潮時に、
海と山々の間、美の誇りに、
自由の歩みの中、団結して立つ。

勇気の地よ、春の最初の日のように緑、
かつて勇敢な者たちがその命を捧げた君のために。
彼らの犠牲は、永遠に私たちの権利として残る、
自由の子供たち、調和の中で祈ります。

多様な系統から、一つの国、大胆で自由な、
すべてに見える統一の遺産。
二つの民族の地、連帯の中で、
私たちが永遠に大切にする、平和と統一の中で。
======================================
In Ländern, wo Flüsse fließen und Ebenen weit sich strecken,
Unter der Sonne Umarmung, im Tau's sanften Wecken,
Zwischen dem Meer und Gipfeln, in Schönheit's Stolz,
Stehen wir vereint, im Freiheitsschritt so holz.

Oh Land des Mutes, grün wie der Frühling's erster Tag,
Für dich, gaben die Tapferen einst ihr Leben, ohne Klage.
Ihr Opfer, unser Geburtsrecht, für immer zu bleiben,
Kinder der Freiheit, in Harmonie wir treiben.

Aus diversen Strängen, eine Nation, mutig und frei,
Ein Vermächtnis der Einheit, für alle sichtbar dabei.
Ein Land zweier Völker, in Solidarität,
Mögen wir für immer bewahren, in Frieden und Einigkeit.
======================================
In lands where rivers flow and plains stretch wide,
Beneath the sun's embrace, in dew's gentle tide,
Between the sea and peaks, in beauty's pride,
We stand united, in freedom's stride.

Oh, land of valor, green as spring's first day,
For thee, the bold once gave their lives away.
Their sacrifice, our birthright, forever to stay,
Children of liberty, in harmony we pray.

From diverse strains, one nation, bold and free,
A legacy of unity for all to see.
A land of two peoples, in solidarity,
May we forever cherish, in peace and unity.

Proposed:

Glory to the brave nation
Which shook off the yoke,
Respecting Justice, freedom, equality.

Let's cry out aloud, let's cry out aloud:
Down with oppression! Down with oppression!
Brave people, your strength
Lies in your unity;
