"Glory to Thee" (Motherland) is Mauritius's national anthem, adopted when the country gained independence in 1968. Written in English by Jean Georges Prosper and composed by Philippe Gentil, it's a beautiful tribute to the island nation.
The anthem celebrates Mauritius as the "star and key of the Indian Ocean" and expresses deep love and loyalty to the motherland. It's typically sung in English, though Mauritius is multilingual, and captures the pride and unity of this diverse island nation in the Indian Ocean. The melody is stirring and dignified, perfectly reflecting the country's journey to independence and its bright future. 🇲🇺✨
Lyrics
Glory to thee, Motherland,
O 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 thee
For ever and ever.

wow.,., That was such a powerful and heartfelt rendition of the national anthem. I could feel your dedication and the pride in our country! Looks like there is a War at your place before?
Thank you! No, there was no war, it's just that the island was for England and the politician wanted independence.
