Saarlandlied
"Das Saarlandlied (Saarland)" "English: The Saarland Tune" was the national anthem of the Saar Protecterate from 1947 to 1957. After World War II, the Saarland was an autonomous state and economically attached to France. On the occasion of the first game of the Saarland national football team in 1950 against Switzerland, a separate national anthem was therefore necessary. They chose the song "I know where a lovely, friendly valley is", also known as the Saarlandlied.

Strophe 2. Strophe 3. Strophe The Saarland  Tune. I know of a lovely friendly Valley Surrounded by sylvan Mountains Where Waves are flashing in Beams of Light With blooming Vines on every hillside And villages, cities beside greening lea And people of a hearty nature Here is my home in the land of Saar I shall give her loud praise all my days Here is my home in the land of Saar I shall give her loud praise all my days Who once went strolling by the banks of the Saar Who once has tasted her wine Whom once have stirred the maiden's eyes Deep in  his gleeming soul O Saarland, o gem of radiant shine O Land of Iron and Coal I'll give myself wholly unto you Noone shall henceforth bereave me of you Thus proudly I proclaim throughout the lands When I confess with happy heart: References. https://lyricstranslate.com/en/das-saarlandlied-saarland-saarland-tune.html
