The National Anthem of Austria was adopted on October 22, 1946.
English translation:
First stanza
Land of mountains, land on the stream,
Land of fields, land of cathedrals,
Land of hammers, with a rich future,
You are home to great sons,
A people blessed by their sense of beauty,
Highly praised Austria,
Highly praised Austria!
Second stanza
Strongly feuded for, fiercely hard-fought for,
You are 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.
Third stanza
Into the new times,
See us striding, courageous, free, and faithful,
Assiduous and full of hope,
Unified, in fraternal chorus, let us
Pledge allegiance to you, our country,
Much beloved Austria,
Much beloved Austria.
Parody
Land of the peas, land of the beans,
Land of the four zones of occupation,
we sell you in creep,
Much beloved Austria!
And up there over the Hermannskogel
gladly the federal bird flutters.
