Namibia Land of the Brave
Music and text by Axali Doeseb
Namibia land of the brave
Freedom fight we have won
Glory to their bravery
Whose blood waters our freedom
We give our love and loyalty
Together in unity
Contrasting beautiful Namibia
Beloved the land
Of savannahs
Hold high the banner of liberty
Namibia our country
Namibia our motherland
We love thee.
We sing this and the American national anthem every day. Humorously, I get a little emotional every time we sing our anthem. “Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there” gets me every time. Partially being in another country and missing home, but also because it is a strong reminder that we are here as Americans and hold onto our own identity. Also, there is just something really powerful about Namibian and Americans uniting and all singing both anthems together. It’s cool.
