Lyrics
English
She is a rich and rare land;
O! She’s a fresh and fair land;
She is a dear and rare land
This native land of mine.
No men than hers are braver,
Her women’s hearts ne’er waver;
I’d freely die to save her
And think my lot divine.
O! She’s a fresh and fair land;
She is a dear and rare land
This native land of mine.
No men than hers are braver,
Her women’s hearts ne’er waver;
I’d freely die to save her
And think my lot divine.
