German Patriotic Song - “Westerwaldlied“

●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩ENGLISH۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬● The “Westerwaldlied“ (transl. “Westerwald Song“) is a German folk song, written by Willi Münker in 1932, set to music by Joseph Neuhäuser in 1935, and published in 1937. An ode to the Westerwald region of Western Germany, it has been performed by the German military for many decades. The song’s lyrics were written by Willi Münker in November 1932. It was set to music by Joseph Neuhäuser in 1935, reportedly based on an old folk song. A Spanish-language song based on the “Westerwaldlied“’s melody as composed by Neuhäuser is sung by the Chilean Armed Forces, where it is known as “Himno de la Sección“. It is also the inspiration for the South Korean patriotic song “Our Nation Forever“, used by the South Korean military. ●▬▬▬ஜ°
