O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all of us command,
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix!
Ton histoire est une épopée
Des plus brillants exploits,
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
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
A beauty rich and rare
In history's page, at every stage
Advance Australia fair!
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We'll toil with heart and hand
To make this country of ours
Renowned through all the lands
For those who come across the sea
We've boundless plains to share
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair!
Yep, that dog's breakfast of lies and
non sequiturs is the official national anthem of Australia.
"I'm not sure how they got that, but you know there must have been a committee involved."
