Lyrics
What's the spring breathing jasmine and rose?
What's the summer with all its gay trees?
What's the splendor of autumn to those
Who barter their freedom for gain?
Let the love of our land's sacred rights
To the love of our people succeed
Let friendship and honor unite
And flourish on both sides between
No sweetness the senses can cheer
Which corruption and bribery bind
No brightness the sun can e'er clear
For honor's the sum of the mind
Let the love of our land's sacred rights
To the love of our people succeed
Let friendship and honor unite
And flourish on both sides between
Let virtue distinguish the brave
Place riches in lowest degree
Think them poorest who can be a slave
Them richest who dare to be free
Let the love of our land's sacred rights
To the love of our people succeed
Let friendship and honor unite
And flourish on both sides between
Let the love of our land's sacred rights
To the love of our people succeed
Let friendship and honor unite
