Mayn landt, mayn libe du, Mayn frayhayt-landt, nem tsu Mayn loyb-gezang! Do foters keyver shteyt, Do pilgrim-shtolts, tseshpreyt, Shtrom, landt, fun berger-keyt, Mit frayhayt-klang! Du libe heymlandt mayn, Du landt fun frayhayt-sheyn, Lib nomen du. Dayn barg-vald, feldz -- mir nont, Kh'ob lib dayn kval, vos shtromt, Dayn frayer horizont, Git harts mayns ru. Zol shvebn klang in roym, Zol zingen yeyder boym Dos fray gezang; Zol vakh zayn mentshns tsung, Gants landt in eyn tsezung, Brekh, feltdz, dayn shtilkayt-rung, Un kling mit klang. Fun mayne oves, -- Got, Du har fun fray-gebot, Mayn loyb nem tsu! Zol shaynen undzer landt Mit frayhayt nokhanand, Bashits undz mit dayn handt -- Bashefer du!
Translated lyrics
(original lyrics) My country tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died! Land of the Pilgrim's pride! From every mountain side, Let freedom ring! My native country, thee, Land of the noble free, Thy name I love. I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills; My heart with rapture fills Like that above. Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom's song. Let mortal tongues awake; Let all that breathe partake; Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong. Our father's God to, Thee, Author of liberty, To Thee we sing. Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light; Protect us by Thy might, Great God, our King!
