Till earth and Heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty

High as the list'ning skies,
Let it resound loud as the Rolling sea
T: Sing a song
full of the faith that the Dark past has taught us,

Facing the rising sun
of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.

Que chaque voix s’élève et chante jusqu’à ce que la terre et le ciel résonnent
Résonnent des accents de la Liberté
Que notre joie s’élève
Jusqu’aux oreilles attentives des cieux
Qu’elle résonne aussi fort que le déferlement de la mer.
Entonnez un chant que le sombre passé nous a enseigné
Entonnez un chant plein d’espoir que le présent nous donne
A l’aube
De notre renaissance,
Marchons jusqu’à la victoire.
