Anthem Lyrics
Land of mountains, land by the river, Land of fields, land of cathedrals, Land of hammers, future-oriented! Home of great daughters and sons, People endowed with beauty, Much-praised Austria, Much-praised Austria! Hotly contested, fiercely fought over, You lie in the centre of the continent, Like a strong heart. Since the early days of the ancestors You have borne the burden of a high mission, Much-tried Austria, Much-tried Austria! Courageously into the new times, Free and faithful we stride, Working cheerfully and full of hope. In fraternal choirs united, We pledge allegiance to you, Fatherland, Our much-beloved Austria, Our much-beloved Austria!
Land der Berge, Land am Strome, Land der Äcker, Land der Dome, Land der Hämmer, zukunftsreich! Heimat großer Töchter und Söhne, Volk, begnadet für das Schöne, Vielgerühmtes Österreich, Vielgerühmtes Österreich! Heiß umfehdet, wild umstritten, Liegst dem Erdteil du inmitten Ein starkes Herz. Hast seit frühen Ahnentagen Hoher Sendung Last getragen, Vielf versucht Österreich, Vielf versucht Österreich! Mutig in die neuen Zeiten, Frei und gläubig sieh uns schreiten, Arbeitsfroh und hoffnungsreich. Einig laß in Brüderchören, Vaterland, dir Treue schwören, Vielgeliebtes Österreich, Vielgeliebtes Österreich!
