German South West Africa (1884-1915) "Das Südwesterlied"

German South West Africa (German: Deutsch-Südwestafrika, DSWA) was a colony of the German Empire from 1884 until 1915. With an area of 835,100 km², it was one and a half times the size of the mainland German Empire in Europe at the time. The colony had a population of around 2,600 Germans.
In 1915, during the First World War, German South West Africa was invaded by the Western Allies in the form of South African and British forces. After the war its administration was taken over by the Union of South Africa (part of the British Empire) and the territory was administered as South West Africa under a League of Nations mandate. It became independent as Namibia in 1990.

[@axelkolle9994]

The melody is much older apparently than both the Panzerlied and the Suedwester Lied. Apparently based on a melody from the 1880's called the Luisger Lied. I quote from memory, so consider this fairly anecdotal.

“Nosso país é duro como espinho de camelo
E seus territórios estão secos.

E os animais são tímidos no mato.
E devemos ser questionados:
O que você está segurando aqui? Sim, com firmeza!
Só poderíamos dizer:
Nós amamos o sudoeste! E devemos ser questionados:
O que você está segurando aqui? Sim, com firmeza!
Só poderíamos dizer:

Heino Heino Mas nosso amor está bem pago
Apesar de tudo, não vamos deixar.
E todas as nossas preocupações são ofuscadas
Luz brilhando intensamente do sol.
E devemos ser questionados:
O que você está segurando aqui? Sim, com firmeza!
Só poderíamos dizer:
Nós amamos o sudoeste! E devemos ser questionados:
O que você está segurando aqui? Sim, com firmeza!

E nosso sol queimou em seu coração
Então você não pode sair daqui novamente. E se você for perguntado:
