Namibia, Land of the Brave

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Namibia, Land of the Brave" is the national anthem of Namibia. After it became independent in 1990, Namibia held a competition to decide upon a new anthem, which was won by Axali Doëseb, the director of a traditional music group from the Kalahari desert. On the first anniversary of independence the new national anthem was played for the first time publicly and met with general public approval. However, there was some discussion over the text, since in the opinion of some musicologists the linguistic stresses are not always harmonious with the musical rhythm.

Namibia, land of the brave
Freedom fight we have won
Glory to their bravery
Whose blood waters our freedom
We give our love and loyalty
Together in unity
Contrasting beautiful Namibia
Namibia our country
Beloved land of savannahs,
Hold high the banner of liberty
Chorus:
Namibia our Country,
Namibia Motherland,
We love thee.

Namibia, Land der Mutigen.
Der Freiheitskampf ist gewonnen,
Ehre Ihrem Mut, deren Blut floß für unsere Freiheit.
Wir geben unsere Liebe und Freiheit,
In Einigkeit gemeinsam,
Kontrastreiches schönes Namibia,
Namibia unser Land.
Geliebtes Land der Savannen,
Haltet das Banner der Freiheit hoch.
Chorus:
Namibia unser Land,
Namibia Vaterland,
Wir lieben Dich.
