"Motherland" is the national anthem of the island country of Mauritius. The music was composed by Philippe Gentil M.B.E. and the lyrics were written by Jean Georges Prosper.

[edit] English lyrics
- Glo-o-ory 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 thee,
- for ever and ever.
