After [World War II](/source/World_War_II), the Saarland was an autonomous state and economically attached to [France](/source/France). On the occasion of the first game of the Saarland national football team in 1950 against [Switzerland](/source/Switzerland), a separate national anthem was therefore necessary. They chose the song "I know where a lovely, friendly valley is", also known as the Saarlandlied. ## Lyrics German Ich rühm’ dich, du freundliches Land an der Saar, von friedlichen Grenzen umgeben. Nie wieder bedrohe dich Krieg und Gefahr, in dir möcht’ ich immerzu leben. Und gibst du uns Arbeit, so hat’s keine Not, wir werden die Mühen nicht scheuen, und Feste auch feiern zum täglichen Brot, denn du, unser Land, sollst uns freuen.[1] Translation: English I praise you, you friendly country on the Saar, surrounded by peaceful borders. Never again will war and danger threaten you, I would like to live in you forever. And if you give us work, there will be no need, we will not shy away from the effort, and also celebrate festivals for daily bread, for you, our land, shall make us happy. ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Ich rühm' dich (Saarlandlied)"](https://www.saarland-lese.de/streifzuege/lieder/ich-ruehm-dich-saarlandlied/). *Saarland-Lese*. v t e Anthems of Europe Countries Albania Andorra Armenia Austria Azerbaijan Belarus Belgium Bosnia and Herzegovina Bulgaria Croatia Cyprus Czech Republic Denmark (Der er et yndigt land and Kong Christian stod ved højen mast) Estonia Finland France Georgia Germany Greece Hungary Iceland Ireland Italy Kazakhstan Latvia Liechtenstein Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Moldova Monaco Montenegro Netherlands North Macedonia Norway Poland Portugal Romania Russia San Marino Serbia Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland Turkey Ukraine United Kingdom Vatican City Territories, dependencies, other areas United Kingdom Constituent countries England Northern Ireland Scotland Wales British Overseas Territories Gibraltar Crown Dependencies Guernsey Isle of Man Jersey Counties Cornwall Lincolnshire Sussex Wiltshire Yorkshire Russia Adygea Arkhangelsk Oblast Bashkortostan Chechnya Chuvashia Dagestan Ingushetia Kabardino-Balkaria Kalmykia Karachay–Cherkessia Karelia Komi Mari El Mordovia Moscow Nenets Autonomous Okrug North Ossetia–Alania Rostov Saint Petersburg Tatarstan Tambov Udmurtia Vladimir Yugra Spain Andalusia Aragon Aran Valley Asturias Canary Islands Basque Country Cantabria Catalonia Galicia Madrid Majorca Valencia Disputed Kosovo Abkhazia South Ossetia Northern Cyprus Transnistria Crimea Sevastopol Donetsk Luhansk Other Flanders (Belgium) Wallonia (Belgium) Limburg (Belgium) Republika Srpska (Bosnia and Herzegovina) Istria (Croatia) Faroe Islands (Denmark) Greenland (Denmark) Åland (Finland) Alsace (France) Brittany (France) Corsica (France) Île-de-France (France) Occitania (France–Italy–Spain–Monaco) Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (France) Bavaria (Germany) Franconia (Germany) Hesse (Germany) Lusatia (Germany) Saarland (Germany) Schleswig-Holstein (Germany) Macedonia (Greece) Aosta Valley (Italy) Marche (Italy) Sardinia (Italy) Sicily (Italy) Flevoland (Netherlands) Friesland (Netherlands) Gelderland (Netherlands) Groningen (Netherlands) Limburg (Netherlands) Utrecht (Netherlands) Azores (Portugal) Madeira (Portugal) Székely Land (Romania) Sámi (Norway–Sweden–Finland) Gagauzia (Moldova) Canton of Bern (Switzerland) Other Europe and the European Union Sovereign Military Order of Malta This article about the music of Germany is a stub.
