The blue, the red, the white, the black, the brown, Les rouges, les bleus, les blancs, les noirs, les bruns,
And all the colors in-between, Et toutes les couleurs qu’il y a,
Women and men and everyone who breathes Les femmes, les hommes, et tous ceux qui respirent,
Can sing along with me: Venez chanter avec moi :
We dream of a land of a world Rêvons d’une terre d’un monde
Brave enough, proud enough to be Assez braves, assez fiers d’être
United in song Unis en chantant.
To fight for justice and peace. Luttons pour la justice et la paix !
Your god, my god, our right to believe, or not— Votre dieu, mon dieu, nos droits de croire ou pas—
We all eat from an earth that’s green. La terre verte nous nourrit.
All bodies, all minds, the young, and elderly, Tous corps et tous esprits, les jeunes, les vieux,
We all want to be heard and seen. Nous tous voulons être entendus.
We dream of a land of a world Rêvons d’une terre d’un monde
Brave enough, proud enough to be Assez braves, assez fiers d’être
United in song Unis en chantant.
To fight for justice and peace. Luttons pour la justice et la paix !

Composer’s Notes
All of the discord over what patriotism is or is not led me to a question: “What anthem would I stand
for?” / Tout le désaccord, au sujet de qu’est-ce que le patriotisme, a inspiré une question : « Quelle
antienne supporterais-je ?»
