  1. This song goes to all hearts that glow
    for Harz and Fläming ,
    the Elbe should also be home to us,
    Saxony-Anhalt proud and bold.
  2. Whether the seeds grow green in the Bördeland
    and the Saale cherries bloom,
    that is also in our own hands,
    Saxony-Anhalt proud and bold.
  3. If we now want to build a home,
    we have to make an effort,
    a good home without a fence,
    Saxony-Anhalt proud and bold.
  4. That wine flourishes in the Unstruttal
    and the forests are green,
    that hope gives us strength, that
    Saxony-Anhalt is proud and bold.
