lyrics

In the sunset of my day
Stranger ! I have lost my home.
Over thy mountains, sunk in blood,
Are the waves of ruin hurled
Like the waters of the flood
Rolling round a buried world

On the day that made us slaves,
freedom's ark, by tempest tossed,
foundered in the swallowing waves
Therefore, therefore do I roam.
Weary, wandering, old and grey
Therefore, therefore do I roam.

Where the Alpine summits rise,
Height over height stupendous hurled
Like the pillars of the skies,
Like the ramparts of the world

As I climbed the mountain's side,
where the lake and valley meet,
all my country's power and pride
lay in ruins at my feet

Where the forest fronts the morn
whence the boundless eye might sail
over a sea of mountains borne
Therefore, therefore do I roam.
Weary, wandering, old and grey
Therefore, therefore do I roam.

Where the Alpine summits rise,
Height over height stupendous hurled
Like the pillars of the skies,
Like the ramparts of the world
Yet I feel, wherever I roam
that my heart is still the same,
This land is now my home
forever my home
