-Land der Berge, Land am Strome,
-Land der Äcker, Land der Dome,
-Land der Hämmer, zukunftsreich!
-Heimat bist du großer Söhne,
-Volk, begnadet für das Schöne,
-vielgerühmtes Österreich,
-vielgerühmtes Österreich!
+ Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
+Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!
+Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
+Painch, tripe, or thairm:
+Weel are ye worthy o' a grace
+As lang's my arm.
 
-Heiß umfehdet, wild umstritten
-liegst dem Erdteil du inmitten,
-einem starken Herzen gleich.
-Hast seit frühen Ahnentagen
-hoher Sendung Last getragen,
-vielgeprüftes Österreich,
-vielgeprüftes Österreich!
+The groaning trencher there ye fill,
+Your hurdies like a distant hill,
+Your pin wad help to mend a mill
+In time o need,
+While thro your pores the dews distil
+Like amber bead.
 
-Mutig in die neuen Zeiten,
-frei und gläubig sieh uns schreiten,
-arbeitsfroh und hoffnungsreich.
-Einig laß in Brüderchören,
-Vaterland, dir Treue schwören,
-vielgeliebtes Österreich,
-vielgeliebtes Österreich!
+His knife see rustic Labour dight,
+An cut you up wi ready slight,
+Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
+Like onie ditch;
+And then, O what a glorious sight,
+Warm-reekin, rich!
+
+Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive:
+Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,
+Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve
+Are bent like drums;
+The auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
+'Bethankit' hums.
+
+Is there that owre his French ragout,
+Or olio that wad staw a sow,
+Or fricassee wad mak her spew
+Wi perfect scunner,
+Looks down wi sneering, scornfu view
+On sic a dinner?
+
+Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
+As feckless as a wither'd rash,
+His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
+His nieve a nit;
+Thro bloody flood or field to dash,
+O how unfit!
+
+But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
+The trembling earth resounds his tread,
+Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
+He'll make it whissle;
+An legs an arms, an heads will sned,
+Like taps o thrissle.
+
+Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,
+And dish them out their bill o fare,
+Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
+That jaups in luggies:
+But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer,
+Gie her a Haggis
