I Am From Austria

Your high time has long gone by,
and you've also already gone through hell,
not much is left from fame and glory,
tell me, who still tips their hat off to you,
besides me?
I know the people, I know the rats,
the stupidity screams heavenwards,
I stand by you, in light and darkness,
every time.
 
You can't do anything about it,
that's where I'm from, that's where I belong,
that's where the ice melts in my soul,
like from a glacier in April,
and when we've already forgotten,
I am your apple, you are my roots,
as your water flows downstream,
irresistible and so bright,
almost like the tears of a child,
my blood starts running fast,
I state at the end of the world with pride,
and if you want also all alone,
I am from Austria
I am from Austria
 
Often the storks were enviable,
today I fly much further away,
I only see you from far away,
who can understand how painful it sometimes is.
 
You can't do anything about it,
that's where I'm from, that's where I belong,
that's where the ice melts in my soul,
like from a glacier in April,
and when we've already forgotten,
I am your apple, you are my roots,
as your water flows downstream,
irresistible and so bright,
almost like the tears of a child,
my blood starts running fast,
I state at the end of the world with pride,
and if you want also all alone,
I am from Austria
I am from Austria

This is the English translation I like the best.
One line seems to be a bit misunderstood though: "I state at the end of the world with pride,"
>"sag´ ich am End´ der Welt voll Stolz" should be IMO:
When I eventually tell the world with pride
