National Anthem

Blessed be the Land of Zimbabwe

O lift high the banner, the flag of Zimbabwe
The symbol of freedom proclaiming victory ;
We praise our heros' sacrifice,
And vow to keep our land from foes ;
And may the Almighty protect and bless our land.

O lovely Zimbabwe, so wondrously adorned
With mountians, and rivers cascading, flowing free ;
May rain abound, and fertile fields ;
May we be fed, our labour blessed ;
And may the Almighty protect and bless our land.

O God, we beseech Thee to bless our native land ;
The land of our fathers bestowed upon us all ;
From Zambezi to Limpopo
May leaders be exemplary ;
And may the Almighty protect and bless our land.

Simudzai mureza wedu weZimbabwe

Simudzai mureza wedu weZimbabwe
Yakazvarwa nomoto wechimurenga ;
Neropa zhinji ramagamba
Tiidzivirire kumhandu dzose ;
Ngaikomborerwe nyika yeZimbabwe.

Tarisai Zimbabwe nyika yakashongedzwa
Namakomo, nehova, zvinoyevedza
Mvura ngainaye, minda ipe mbesa
Vashandi vatuswe, ruzhinji rugutswe ;
Ngaikomborerwe nyika yeZimbabwe.

Mwari ropafadzai nyika yeZimbabwe
Nyika yamadzitateguru edu tose ;
Kubva Zambezi kusvika Limpopo,
Navatungamiri vave nenduramo ;
Ngaikomborerwe nyika yeZimbabwe.

Rhodesia's National Song
 
Rise O Voices of Rhodesia
by Jack Watson.
------------------------

Once a column came a-marching
In the long, long, long ago,
And they came to found a country 
That the world would come to know ;
It was built on toil and courage
Out of what was wilderness-
So they gave us this our country
To preserve and ever bless.

The early fathers of our land
Have left their trust in us,
On guard for all they won we stand
As those who follow must,
Rhodesia, our homeland
We stand on guard for thee,
Rhodesia our homeland
We'll ever cherish thee.

Once a column came a-marching
In the long, long, long ago,
And they came to found a country
That the world would come to know ;
We who follow will remember
That to them this land we owe-
And to others who will follow
When it's time for us to go.
