Mu isamaa, mu õnn ja rõõm,
kui kaunis oled sa!
Ei leia mina iial teal see
surre lai a ilma peal,
mis mul nii armas oleks ka,
kui sa, mu isamaa!

Sa oled mind ju sünnitand
ja üles kasvatand;
sind tänan mina alati
ja jään sull' truuiks surmani,
mul kõige armsam oled sa,
mu kallis isamaa!

Su üle Jumal valvaku,
mu armas isamaa!
Ta olgu sinu kaitseja
ja võtku rohkest õnnista,
mis iial ette võtad sa
mu kallis isamaa!

English tranlation

My native land, my joy, delight,
How fair thou art and bright!
And nowhere in the world all round
Can ever such a place be found
So well beloved as I love thee,
My native country dear!

My little cradle stood on thy soil,
Whose blessings ease my toil.
With my last breath my thanks to thee,
For true to death I'll ever be,
O worthy, most beloved and fine,
Thou, dearest country mine!

May God in Heaven thee defend,
My best, my dearest land!
May He be guard, may He be shield,
Forever may He bless and wield
O graciously all deeds of thine,
Thou dearest country mine!

BULGARIAN LYRICS

Gorda Stara Planina,

Do nej Dunava sinej,

Sluntse Tkrakija ogr'ava,

Nad Pirina plamenej

Milo Rodino,

Ti si zemen raj,

Tvojta khubost, tvojta prelest,

Akh te n'amat kraj
Padnakha bojtsi bezchet,

Za naroda nash l'ubim,

Majko, daj mi muzhka sila,

Put'a im da prodolzhim

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Proudly rise the Balkan peaks,

At their feet Blue Danube flows;

Over Thrace the sun is shining,

Pirin looms in purple glow.

Oh, dear native land,

Earthly paradise!

For your loveliness, your beauty

E'er will charm our eyes.
Uncounted fighter died

for the beloved our people

Mother, give me man's power

Their path to continue.

FRENCH LYRICS

Allons enfants de la Patrie,
Le jour de gloire est arrivé !
Contre nous de la tyrannie,
L'étendard sanglant est levé !
L'étendard sanglant est levé !
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats ?
Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras
Egorger nos fils et nos compagnes !

Aux armes, citoyens !
Formez vos bataillons !
Marchons ! marchons !
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons !

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Arise children of the fatherland
The day of glory has arrived
Against us tyranny's
Bloody standard is raised
Listen to the sound in the fields
The howling of these fearsome soldiers
They are coming into our midst
To cut the throats of your sons and consorts

To arms citizens
Form you battalions
March, march
Let impure blood
Water our furrows

Heróis do mar, nobre povo,

Nação valente, imortal,

Levantai hoje de novo

O esplendor de Portugal!

Entre as brumas da memória,

Ó Pátria, sente-se a voz

Dos teus egrégios avós,

Que há-de guiar-te à vitória!

Às armas, às armas!

Sobre a terra, sobre o mar,

Às armas, às armas!

Pela Pátria lutar!

Contra os canhões,marchar, marchar!

Approximate translation

Heroes of the sea, noble people,

Brave and immortal nation,

Now is the time to raise again

The splendor of Portugal!

Amidst the mists of memory,

Oh Fatherland, we hear the voice

Of your noble forefathers,

That shall lead you to victory!

To arms, to arms!

Over the land, over the sea,

To arms, to arms!

To fight for our Fatherland!

Against the cannons, march, march!
