by Anonymous / Unidentified Author
Translation by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben (1798 - 1874)

Quoad vivo, pietatem
Language: Latin 
Quoad vivo, pietatem
Iuro corde, dextera;
Quidquid sum et facultatem
Tu dedisti, patria.
Neque verbis nec canendo
Agam tibi gratias:
Respondere factis tendo,
Quando est necessitas.

Rebus laetis, in dolore
Testor hostem, socium:
Semper nos concordes fore,
Esse spem te, gaudium.
Quoad vivo, pietatem
Iuro corde, dextera;
Quidquid sum et facultatem
Tu dedisti, patria.

Mein Vaterland
 (Sung text for setting by B. Klein)
 Matches original text
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Latin 
Treue Liebe bis zum Grabe
Schwör ich dir mit Herz und Hand;
Was ich bin und was ich habe,
Dank ich Dir mein Vaterland!
Nicht in Worten nur und Liedern
Ist mein Herz zum Dank bereit,
Mit der Tat will ich's erwidern
Dir in Not, in Kampf und Streit.

In der Freude wie im Leide
Ruf ich's Freund und Feinden zu:
Ewig sind vereint wir beide,
Und mein Trost, mein Glück bist Du.
Treue Liebe bis zum Grabe
Schwör ich dir mit Herz und Hand;
Was ich bin und was ich habe,
Dank ich dir, mein Vaterland!
