No man, no madness / Though their sad power may prevail Can possess, conquer, my country's heart / They rise to fail She is eternal / Long before nations' lines were drawn When no flags flew, when no armies stood my land was born And you ask me why I love her / through wars, death and despair She is the constant, we who don't care And you wonder will I leave her - but how?... I cross over borders but I'm still there now How could I leave her? Where would I start? Let man's petty nations tear themselves apart My land's only borders lie around my heart
