Our Homeland

The official lyrics of the National Anthem Luxembourg

Where the Alzette through the meadows flows,
Through cliffs the Sauer breaks,
Where the shores of the Moselle fragrantly bloom,
Heaven gifts us wine:
This is the land for which we would,
on this earth give anything:
Our homeland which we carry,
So deep within our hearts.
Our homeland which we carry,
So deep within our hearts.

O Thou above, who with thine own hand,
Guides nations o’er the world,
Guard this, our Luxembourgish land,
From foreign yoke and woe!
As children, thou us bestowed,
A spirit, free, unbowed,
Let shine for evermore freedom’s sun,
Which we so long have seen!
Let shine for evermore freedom’s sun,
Which we so long have seen!

The full lyrics of the National Anthem Luxembourg

Where the Alzette through the meadows flows,
Through cliffs the Sauer breaks,
Where the shores of the Moselle fragrantly bloom,
Heaven gifts us wine:
This is the land for which we would,
on this earth give anything:
Our homeland which we carry,
So deep within our hearts.
Our homeland which we carry,
So deep within our hearts.

In her dark wreath of woods,
Guarded still by the peace,
Without splendor or costly shine,
She cozily and lovingly smiles!
Her people may with gladness say to themselves,
And they aren’t empty dreams:
How homely ’tis to live therein,
How good ’tis to be home.
How homely ’tis to live therein,
How good ’tis to be home.

Song, song, from mount and dale,
The earth who bore our births,
Love has rung a loyal echo,
In each and every Breast!
For her, no song too august be,
Every word that from her rings,
Our soul moves like heavenly sounds,
And the eye like fire shines.
Our soul moves like heavenly sounds,
And the eye like fire shines.

O Thou above, who with thine own hand,
Guides nations o’er the world,
Guard this, our Luxembourgish land,
From foreign yoke and woe!
As children, thou us bestowed,
A spirit, free, unbowed,
Let shine for evermore freedom’s sun,
Which we so long have seen!
Let shine for evermore freedom’s sun,
Which we so long have seen!

The national anthem Luxembourg was adopted in 1895.
