Refrain
This land is your land
This land is my land
From Beuna Vista
To Vancouver Island
From the Arctic Circle
To the Great Lakes waters
This land was made for you and me.
As I was walking
That ribbon of highway
I saw above me
The open skyway
I saw below me
The open valley:
This land was made for you and me …
The sun was shining
And I was strolling
The wheat fields waving
And the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting
A voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me …
I roamed and rambled
And followed my footsteps
Across the muskeg
And arctic tundra
And all around me
The voice kept calling
This land was made for you and me …
IL NOUS APPARTIENT
CET IMMENSE PAYS
Version française
de David Watts
Refrain
Il nous appartient
Cet immense pays
De la Terre-Neuve
A la Columbie
Du haut arctique
Aux grands lacs, ce pays
Nous appartient à toi et moi …
Je m’suis balladé
Dans les prairies
Et la parout
j’ai fait des ami(e)s
De la compagne
aux grandes villes, ce pays
Nous appartient à toi et moi …
De grand Nord Ouest
Des espaces vides
Je me retourne
Aux Laurentides
Et là le chaleur
Des premiers habitants
Nous appartient à toi et moi …
Aux gens qui donnent
Sur le Pacifique
A leurs confrères
De l’Atlantique
Aux autochtones
Aux immigrants, ce pays
Nous appartient à toi et moi …
