"Motherland" is the national anthem of Mauritius. The music was written by Philippe Oh San (former band master of the Mauritius Police Force), with the lyrics written by Jean Georges Prosper. However on official records, it has been stated that Mr Philippe Gentil wrote the music.
English lyrics
- Glory to thee,
- Motherland, oh motherland of mine,
- Sweet is thy beauty,
- Sweet is thy fragrance,
- around thee we gather,
- as one people,
- as one nation,
- In peace, justice and liberty,
- Beloved country may God bless you,
- for ever and ever.
