Lyrics

I. Land der dunklen Wälder
Und kristall'nen Seen,
über weite Felder
Lichte Wunder geh'n
Starke Bauern schreiten
Hinter Pferd und Pflug,
über Ackerbreiten
Streift der Vogelzug.

II. Und die Meere rauschen
Den choral der Zeit
Elche steh'n und lauschen
In Die Ewigkeit.
Tag ist aufgegangen
über Haff und Moor,
Licht hat angefangen,
Steigt im Ost empor.

I. Land of Somber forests
And crystal-clear lakes
Across wide-open plains
Vivid wonders occur.
Strong plowmen are striding
Behind steed and plow.
All across the farmland
The migratory birds fly.

II. And the Seas are roaring
The choral of time,
Elks stand and listen
Into eternity.
The day has broken,
Across lagoon and moor,
The light has risen
Rising in the east.
