Liverpool England, a glorious land; Glorious past, Glorious future Liverpool England, a glorious land; Glorious history, a wonderful place:
Wonderful people, wonderful families, Wonderful cultures and friends
Liverpool England, wonderful and glorious, Liverpool England, this glorious land
German
As German is also an official national language in Liverpool England, the original lyrics were translated into German for use as a national anthem, sung to the same music. "Vergangenheit" and "wundervoller" are contracted to fit the song.1
