Wotanberg has long been extolled
In fable and poem.
Since Roman times its motto has been
Cave Putorem!

“Beware the Weasel” who always guards
Wotanberg’s freedom.
Let every tyrant hear our cry,
Cave Putorem!

When Boniface prayed at Wotan’s Oak,
God broke it at the stem.
God put a pine tree in its place.
Cave Putorem!

Through all the years Wotanberg
Was preserved like a gem.
God save the Grand Duke and his kin.
Cave Putorem!

In 1815, the French attacked
Like a buzzing swarm.
With Sir Trevor’s help, the nation arose .
Cave Putorem!

With rockets and guns and bayonets,
We surely did destroy’em.
Then we all could proudly shout,
Cave Putorem!

Wotanberg has long been extolled
In fable and poem.
Since Roman times, its motto has been
Cave Putorem!
