ADVANCE AUSTRALIE FAIR
Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history's page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We'll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
AVANCE BELLE ET JUSTE AUSTRALIE
Australiens réjouissons nous tous,
Car nous sommes jeunes et libres;
Nous avons un sol doré et de la richesse pour le labeur,
Notre patrie est ceinte par la mer ;
Notre terre abonde des cadeaux de la nature
D'une beauté riche et rare ;
Dans le livre de l'histoire, qu'à chaque page
Avance la belle et juste Australie !
Aux tons joyeux chantons alors,
« Avance belle et juste Australie ! »
Sous notre Croix du Sud rayonnante,
Nous œuvrerons avec nos cœurs et nos mains;
Pour rendre notre Communauté
Renommée de toutes les patries;
Pour ceux venus d'outre-mer
Nous avons des plaines sans bornes à partager
Avec courage unissons nous
Pour qu'avance la belle et juste Australie.
Aux tons joyeux chantons alors
Avance belle et juste Australie
Hymne Australien version originale publiée en 1879
Australia's sons let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in Nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In hist'ry's page, let ev'ry stage
Advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.
When gallant Cook from Albion sailed,
To trace wide oceans o'er,
True British courage bore him on,
Til he landed on our shore.
Then here he raised Old England's flag,
The standard of the brave;
"With all her faults we love her still"
"Britannia rules the wave."
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.
While other nations of the globe
Behold us from afar,
We'll rise to high renown and shine
Like our glorious southern star;
From England soil and Fatherland,
Scotia and Erin fair,
Let all combine with heart and hand
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair
Should foreign foe e'er sight our coast,
Or dare a foot to land,
We'll rouse to arms like sires of yore,
To guard our native strand;
Britannia then shall surely know,
Though oceans roll between,
Her sons in fair Australia's land
Still keep their courage green.
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.
