Switzerland National Anthem (1848-1961; Instrumental) Rufst du, Mein Vaterland

"Rufst du, mein Vaterland" ("When You Call, My Country"; French: "Ô monts indépendants"; Italian: "Ci chiami o patria", Romansh: "E clomas, tger paeis"), is the former national anthem of Switzerland. It had the status of de facto national anthem from the formation of Switzerland as a federal state in the 1840s, until 1961, when it was replaced by the Swiss Psalm.

The text was written in 1811 by Bernese philosophy professor Johann Rudolf Wyss, as a "War song for Swiss artillerymen". It is set to the tune of the British royal anthem "God Save the King".

(English Lyrics / Translation)
Do you call, my Fatherland?
See us with heart and hand
All devoted to you!
Hail to you, Helvetia!
You still have sons,
Like St. Jacob saw them,
Joyfully hasten to the battle.
