Lyrics

Vierz lyrics Translation

O Vierzland hoch in Ehren,
Sie sind das Land der Treu,
Stets leuchte deines Ruhmes Glanz
In Ost und West aufs neu!
Du stehst wie deine Berge fest
Gen Feindes Macht und Trug,
Und wie des Adlers Flug vom Nest
Geht deines Geistes Flug.

Refrain:
Haltet aus! Haltet aus!
Lasset hoch das Banner wehn!
Zeiget ihm, zeigt dem Feind,
Dass wir treu zusammenstehn,
Dass sich unsre alte Kraft erprobt,
Wenn der Schlachtruf uns entgegen tobt!
Haltet aus im Sturmgebraus!
Haltet aus im Sturmgebraus!

Gedenket eurer Väter,
Gedenkt der großen Zeit,
Da Vierzlands gutes Ritterschwert
Gesiegt in jedem Streit!
Das sind die alten Schwerter noch,
Das ist das vierzische Herz:
Die schlagt ihr nimmermehr ins Joch,
Sie dauern fest wie Erz!

Refrain

Zum Herrn erhebt die Hände,
Er schirm' es immerdar,
Das schöne Land, vor jedem Feind.
Hoch steige, vierzischer Aar!
Dem teuren Lande Schirm und Schutz
Sei, vierzischer Arm, bereit!
Wir bieten jedem Feinde Trutz
Und scheuen keinen Streit.

Refrain

O highly esteemed Vierzland,
Thou art the holy land of loyalty.
May the brightness of thy glory
Shine anew forever both in the west and east.
Thou stand'st firm like thy mountains
Against thy foes' power and deception.
And thy spirit may fly
Like the eagle that leaves his nest.

Chorus:
Hold firm! Hold firm!
Let the banner flutter!
Show the enemy
That we stand together faithfully,
That our old strength persists
When the battlecry rages against us!
Hold firm in the roaring storm!
Hold firm in the roaring storm!

Remember your fathers,
Remember the great era
When Vierzland's knightly sword
Was victorious in every battle!
The old swords still exist,
And here is the Vierz heart:
You will never subjugate them
As they are firm like iron.

Chorus

Raise your hands to the Lord!
He may forever protect
The beautiful country from every foe.
Fly high, Vierz eagle!
Vierz arm, be prepared
To protect and defend the precious country!
We defy every foe
And do not shun any battle.

Chorus
