Lusatia, Beautiful Rjana Łužica · Rědna Łužyca Anthem of the Sorbian People [Please click here to read about the Sorbian people and their languages.] [Please click here for English only.]
Upper Sorbian Hornjoserbšćina Handrij Zejler (Andreas Seiler, 1804–1872)	Lower Sorbian Dolnoserbski	English Reinhard F. Hahn ©2008
Rjana Łužica, sprawna, přećelna, mojich serbskich wótcow kraj, mojich zbóžnych sonow raj, swjate su mi twoje hona!	Rědna Łužyca, spšawna, pśijazna, mojich serbskich woścow kraj, mojich glucnych myslow raj, swěte su mě twoje strony.	Lusatia, beautiful, Gracious, dutiful, Land of Sorbian forebears’ toil, Land of dreams, resplendent soil, Sacred are to me thy pastures.
Časo přichodny, zakćěj radostny! Ow, zo bychu z twojeho klina wušli mužojo, hódni wěčnoh wopomnjeća!	Cas ty pśichodny, zakwiś radostny! Och, gab muže stanuli, za swoj narod źěłali, godne nimjer wobspomnjeśa!	May thy future be Blooming joyously! Oh, may from thy womb appear People that the world holds dear, Worthy of eternal memory!
Bitwu bijachu, horcu, železnu, něhdy serbscy wótcojo, wójnske spěwy spěwajo. Štó nam pójda waše spěwy?		Battles hotly fought, Wars of iron wrought, Our forebears proudly sang. Words of war songs loudly rang. Who will now tell us their stories?
Boha čorneho, stare kralestwo rapak nětko wobydli, stary moch so zeleni, na skale, kiž wołtar běše.		Once the black god’s land, Ancient creed’s last stand, Now a raven’s perch is there, Ancient moss on rocks once bare, Altars for our forebears’ worship.
Verses 2 and 3 are not included in the official version.
Music by Korla Awgust Kocor (Karl August Katzer), 1845
