The lyrics of the National Anthem of Mauritius
Motherland
Glory to thee, Motherland
O Motherland of mine.
Sweet is thy beauty,
Sweet is thy fragrance,
Around thee we gather
As one people,
As one nation,
In peace, justice and liberty.
Beloved Country,
May God bless thee
For ever and ever.
The National Anthem of Mauritius was written by Jean-Georges Prosper and composed by Joseph Philippe Gentil.
The motto of Mauritius: Star and key of the Indian Ocean.
