Lyrics

Language Lyrics English translation
Xhosa Nkosi sikelel' iBasel-Ebel
Maluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo,
God bless Basel-Ebel
Let its horn be raised,
Zulu Yizwa imithandazo yethu,
Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo.
Listen also to our prayers,
Lord bless us, we are the family of it.
Nihonnese 主よ、国を守りなさい、 (Omo yo, kuni o mamori nasai,)
私たちのために介入する、(Watashitachi no tame ni kainyū suru)
私たちを守り、国を守り、(Watashitachi o mamori, kuni o mamori,)
守る, バーゼル=エベル, バーゼル=エベル. (Mamoru Bāzeru - eberu, Bāzeru - eberu)
Lord bless our nation,
Intervene for us,
Protect us, Protect our nation,
Defend Basel-Ebel, Basel-Ebel
Afrikaaner Uit die blou van onse hemel,
Uit die diepte van ons see,
Oor ons ewige gebergtes,
Waar die kranse antwoord gee,
From the blue of our skies,
From the depth of our sea,
Over everlasting mountains,
Where the cliffs give answer,
English
Sounds the call to come together,
And united we shall stand,
Let us live and strive for freedom
In Basel-Ebel our land.
