原詩

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,

Of beauty rich and rare,

In history's page, let every stage,

Advance Australia Fair.

In joyful strains then let us sing,

Advance Australia Fair.

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross,

We'll toil with hearts and hands,

To make this Commonwealth of ours,

Renowned of all the lands;

For those who've come across the seas,

We've boundless plains to share,

With courage let us all combine,

To Advance Australia Fair.

In joyful strains then let us sing,

Advance Australia Fair.

和訳

オーストラリアの人々よ

私達が若く自由であることを喜ぼう

私達は黄金の大地と富を苦労して得た

私達の故国は海に囲まれ美しく豊かな自然の

恵に富んでいる

歴史のすべての段階でオーストラリアを前進させよう

喜びに満ちてさあ歌おう

進め美しきオーストラリア

光り輝く南十字星の下、私達は勤勉に働く

この国を名誉ある大陸とするために

海を渡ってきた人々のために限りない平原を

分かち合おう

私達は勇気をもってすべてのひとびとと共に

オーストラリアを前進させよう

喜びに満ちてさあ歌おう

進め美しきオーストラリア

Marie Cowan バージョン

Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong

Under the shade of a Coolibah tree

And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled

You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda

You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

And he sang as he watched and waited til his billy boiled

You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Down came a jumbuck to drink at that billabong

Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee

And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tuckerbag

You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda

You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

And he sang as he watched and waited til his billy boiled

You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Up rode the squatter mounted on his thoroughbred

Down came troopers one two three

Whose that jumbuck you've got in the tuckerbag?

You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda

You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

And he sang as he watched and waited til his billy boiled

You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me

Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong

You'll never catch me alive said he

And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong

You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me.

P.Allen

I've been to cities that never close down

from New York, to Rio and old London town,

but no matter how far or how wide I roam

I still call Australia home.

All the sons and daughters spinning 'round the world,

Away from their fam'ly and friends,

But as the world gets older and colder,

It's good to know where your journey ends.

I'm always trav'lin, I love being free,

And so I keep leaving the sun and the sea,

But still my heart lies waiting over the foam

I still call Australia home.

But someday we'll all be together once more

When all of the ships come back to the shore,

I realize something I've always known

I still call Australia home.
