Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sinn

Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sinn ([miːɐ̯ ˈvələ ˈblɑɪvə vɑt miːɐ̯ ˈzin]; Luxembourgish for "We want to stay what we are"; archaic spelling Mir wölle bleiwe wat mir sin) is the national motto of Luxembourg. The national motto is also translated into the other two official languages, French and German, although they do not have the status of a national language: "Nous voulons rester ce que nous sommes" (French) and "Wir wollen bleiben, was wir sind" (German). It refers to the ambition of the Luxembourgish people to retain their independent identity and sovereignty.
