ISLE OF BEAUTY ISLE OF SPLENDOUR - Hymne de Dominique Version officielle
Isle of beauty, isle of splendour,
Isle to all so sweet and fair,
All must surely gaze in wonder
At thy gifts so rich and rare.
Rivers, valleys, hills and mountains,
All these gifts we do extol.
Healthy land, so like all fountains,
Giving cheer that warms the soul.
Dominica, God hath blest thee
With a clime benign and bright,
Pastures green and flowers of beauty
Filling all with pure delight,
And a people strong and healthy,
Full of godly, rev'rent fear.
May we ever seek to praise Thee
For these gifts so rich and rare.
Come ye forward, sons and daughters
Of this gem beyond compare.
Strive for honor, sons and daughters,
Do the right, be firm, be fair.
Toil with hearts and hands and voices.
We must prosper! Sound the call,
In which ev'ry one rejoices,
"All for Each and Each for All."
ILE DE BEAUTE ILE DE SPLENDEUR - Hymne de Dominique version française
Ile de beauté, île de splendeur,
Isle à tous si douce et juste,
Tous sûrement s'émerveillent
De tes dons si riches et rares.
Rivières, vallées, collines et montagnes,
Tous ces dons nous exaltent.
Terre saine, si semblable à toutes les fontaines,
Ce don si cher qui réchauffe l'âme.
Dominique, Dieu te bénis
Avec un climat clément et lumineux,
Tes verts pâturages et la beauté de tes fleurs
Remplissent chacun d'une joie pure,
Et c'est un peuple fort et sain,
Plein de piété, de crainte et de vénération.
Puissions-nous toujours chercher à te louer
Pour ces cadeaux si riches et rares.
Approchez-vous, fils et filles
De ce joyau incomparable.
Efforcez-vous dans l'honneur, fils et filles,
D'être droit, ferme et juste.
Œuvrons avec nos cœurs et nos mains et nos voix.
Nous tendons à prospérer!
Entendons l'appel, et réjouissons-nous,
"Tous pour chacun et chacun pour tous. "
