A Ballad of Nations

Here in this land where all are free

To enjoy the triumph of liberty

We celebrate a history

Of constant faith and loyalty.

 

Beneath Her broad majestic skies

A royal feast enchants our eyes

And every day brings new surprises

Filled with fruitful energy.

 

We are one people, proud and strong

With balance between right and wrong

Who bravely sing our victory song

For us and for our progeny.

 

When the storm clouds overcome

And fate belays our dream,

We’ll lift the torch of liberty

Rejoicing in Her golden beam.

 

Kingdoms will fade and empires go

In melancholic fits of woe,

But this republic continues to grow

To seek its greatest destiny.

 

And when it all is said and done

We will look back on all we’ve won.
