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.
