Where the green meadows shine
- Where the green meadows shine far and wide
- where the ears of wheat weighed at harvest time
- where the pine forests stand on the beach of the Baltic Sea
- |: there is my home Mecklenburg Land : |
- Where the farmhouse stands in a wide field
- where the village chapel faithfully strikes the hour
- where the forester's hut stands at the edge of the forest
- |: there is my home Mecklenburg Land : |
- Where the farmer can manage the long day
- where the forester hunts in the dark woods
- where the fisherman fishes with his strong hand
- |: there is my home Mecklenburg Land : |
- Where the hammer blows on the slipway,
- where the proud ships sail,
- where the mother tongue still applies in the whole country,
- |: there is my home Mecklenburg Land : |
- This homeland peace is so beautiful
- Nowhere in the world can there be anything more beautiful
- from the pine forests to the Baltic Sea beach
- |: we love our home region of Mecklenburg : |
In the Low German chorus variant, “Da ist Meine Heimat” is simply replaced by “Dor is miene Heimat”.
