High on the young Rhine

The official lyrics of the National Anthem Liechtenstein

High on the young Rhine
Lies Liechtenstein, resting
On Alpine heights.
This beloved homeland
The dear fatherland
God’s wise hand has
Chosen for us.
This beloved homeland
The dear fatherland
God’s wise hand has
Chosen for us.

Long live Liechtenstein,
Blossoming on the young Rhine,
Fortunate and faithful!
Long live the Prince of the Land,
Long live our fatherland,
Through bonds of brotherly love
United and free!
Long live the Prince of the Land,
Long live our fatherland,
Through bonds of brotherly love
United and free!

The full lyrics of the National Anthem Liechtenstein

High on the young Rhine
Lies Liechtenstein, resting
On Alpine heights.
This beloved homeland
The dear fatherland
God’s wise hand has
Chosen for us.
This beloved homeland
The dear fatherland
God’s wise hand has
Chosen for us.

Where once St. Lucius
Peace to Raetia
Brought,
There by the border stone
And along the young Rhine
Liechtenstein stands fearless
On guard for Germany.
There by the border stone
And along the young Rhine
Liechtenstein stands fearless
On guard for Germany.

Lovely in the summer
On the high Alps’ meadows
Floats heavenly quietude.
Where the chamois leaps freely,
The eagle soars boldly,
The herdsman sings the Ave
For the native land.
Where the chamois leaps freely,
The eagle soars boldly,
The herdsman sings the Ave
For the native land.

From green rocky heights
It is lovely to look at
With one gaze:
How the Rhine’s silver band
Hems the beautiful land
A small fatherland
Of silent bliss.
How the Rhine’s silver band
Hems the beautiful land
A small fatherland
Of silent bliss.

Loyal and firm, even if small
In the German Empire association
Rests Liechtenstein.
Full of light on eternal ground
United and healthy
In storm and night the union
to be a shining star.
Full of light on eternal ground
United and healthy
In storm and night the union
to be a shining star.

Does the prince’s heart not share
Fatherly joy and pain
With children here?
The country is not receiving him
So give him your hand
In our fatherland
father and ornament!
The country is not receiving him
So give him your hand
In our fatherland
father and ornament!

Long live Liechtenstein,
Blossoming on the young Rhine,
Fortunate and faithful!
Long live the Prince of the Land,
Long live our fatherland,
Through bonds of brotherly love
United and free!
Long live the Prince of the Land,
Long live our fatherland,
Through bonds of brotherly love
United and free!
