Lyrics
[Intro] From the peaks of the Alps, where the echoes start, A story unfolds from Austria's heart. [Verse 1] High in the alpine air, where the Edelweiss grows, Vienna's calling with its vibrant shows. From Mozart's melodies to Strauss's dance, Culture and history in every chance. [Pre-Chorus] Through valleys and lakes, traditions flow, Where the blue Danube continues to glow. [Chorus] Austria, land of mountains and dreams, In every village and river, your heritage gleams. From the palaces grand to the alpine views, Austria, oh Austria, forever true. [Verse 2] In Salzburg's lanes, hear the music play, Where every stone has a story to say. Vienna's cafes, the intellect's delight, Inspiring hearts from morning 'til night. [Chorus] Austria, land of mountains and dreams, In every village and river, your heritage gleams. From the palaces grand to the alpine views, Austria, oh Austria, forever true. [Bridge] Home to Sigmund and to Haydn's grace, Where innovation and art embrace. Beyond the story of every steeple and dome, This is Austria, where the heart finds home. [Final Chorus] Austria, land of mountains and dreams, In every village and river, your heritage gleams. From the palaces grand to the alpine views, Austria, oh Austria, forever true. [Outro] So sing with the yodel, let your spirit fly, In Austria, under the vast, open sky.
