My heart I gave you with my hand | B |
In brighter days than these | C |
In that down trodden father land | B |
Beyond the distant seas | C |
Where you were all the world to me | A |
Devoted fond and true | D |
And I in our prosperity | A |
Was all the world to you | D |
Robbed by a tyrant's iron sway | E |
We're banished from that land away | E |

Sad wanderers from our native home | F |
A ruler in a foe | G |
An exiled caravan we roam | F |
But hand in hand WE go | G |
And thus whatever fate betide | H |
We bless our lot in life | I |
Since no misfortunes may divide | H |
The husband and the wife | I |
Here we defy the tyrant's will | J |
We're happy in each other still | J |
