Original text:
O Uganda! may God uphold thee,
We lay our future in thy hand;
United, free for liberty
together we`ll always stand.
O Uganda! the land of freedom,
Our love and labor we give;
And with neighbors all
At our country`s call
In peace and friendship we`ll live.
O Uganda! the land that feeds us,
By sun and fertile soil grown;
For our own dear country,
We`ll always stand,
The Pearl of Africa`s Crown.
German translation:
Oh, Uganda, may God preserve you,
We put our future in your hands,
United, ready for freedom
Together we will always stand.
O Uganda! Land of Liberty,
We give our love and our work
And with all our neighbors
Are we going to call our country
Live peacefully and amicably.
O Uganda! The land that nourishes us
Grown by sun and fertile soil;
For our beloved country,
Will we always stand up
The Pearl of Africa`s Crown
