Lyrics
Mine faithful Emperor,
Thou art our saviour!
May great bells ring
And the black swans sing:
"Long live our Emperor,
Guardian forever!
O may he bring
To this land great things!"
O sweet Liberty,
Born of thy great glory!
May thy grand reign bring great
Harmony.
May thou defend our laws,
And give us great cause,
To sing with heart of thee:
Long live our King!
