Maybe you should practice again if you want to sing along loudly with our Bavarian anthem at the spectacular conclusion of the open-air concert on Sunday. But: the whole country can be there on TV at the Oktoberfest on Sunday, because: Bavarian television and Munich TV are broadcasting the open-air concert feet of Bavaria.
Official version / text of the Bavarian anthem
1st verse:
Gott mit dir, du Land der Bayern,

Über deinen weiten Gauen
ruhe Seine Segenshand!

schirme deiner Städte Bau
Und erhalte dir die Farben
Seines Himmels, weiß und blau! :|
2. Strophe:
Gott mit dir, dem Bayernvolke,
dass wir, uns’rer Väter wert,
fest in Eintracht und in Frieden
bauen uns’res Glückes Herd!

einig uns ein jeder schau
und den alten Ruhm bewähre
unser Banner, weiß und blau! :|

(only the German version is sung at the Oktoberfest concert and in Bavaria in general - anyone who knows Munich and Bavaria knows how the poet of the anthem thought and felt.)
1st verse:
God be with you, you land of Bavaria,
German earth, fatherland!
Over your wide horizons
rest His blessing hand!
|: He guards your fields,
protect the construction of your cities
And get the colors
His sky, white and blue! :|
2nd verse:
God be with you, the Bavarian people,
