America
Far, we've been travelling far
Without a home_, but not without a star
Free_, only want to be free__
We huddle close, hang on to a dream.
On the boats and on the planes, they're coming to America.
Never looking back again, they're coming to America.
Home_, don't it seem so far away.
Oh, we're travelling light today
In the eye of the storm, in the eye of the storm.
Home_, to a new and a shiny place.
Make our bed, and we'll say our grace.
Freedom's light burning warm, freedom's light burning warm
Everywhere around the world, they're coming to America.
Every time that flag's unfurled, they're coming to America.
Got a dream to take them there, they're coming to America
Got a dream they've come to share, they're coming to America
They're coming to America. They're coming to America.
They're coming to America. They're coming to America.
Today, today, today, today, today
My country 'tis of thee (Today) Sweet land of liberty (today)
Of thee I sing (today) Of thee I sing (today) (today) (today) (today)
Horch, was kommt von draussen rein?
(Germany)
Horch, was kommt von draussen rein?
Hollahi! Hollaho!
Wird wohl mein Finsliebchen sein.
Hollahihaho!
Geht vorbei und schaut nicht rein.
Hollahi! Hollaho!
Wird's wohl nicht gewesen sein.
Hollahihaho!
Hark, who's that outside right now?
Hollahi! Hollaho!
Could it be my love, somehow?
Hollahihaho!
Don't pass by, oh, won't you stay!
Hollahi! Hollaho!
Then I'd find my love today.
Hollahihaho!
Viva Mexico! (Mexico)
Viva Mexico! Viva America!
Oh suelo bendito de Dios!
Viva Mexico! Viva America!
Mi sangre por ti dare yo.
I am a Mexicano, was born a Mexicano,
Right on this very bedrock, that forms our precious land.
For my beloved country, for honor, flag, and glory,
I'll fight to save my country with my own heart and hand.
Viva Mexico! Viva America!
Oh suelo bendito de Dios!
Viva Mexico! Viva America!
Mi sangre por ti dare yo.

Right on this very bedrock, that forms our precious land.
For my beloved country, for honor, flag, and glory,

Waltzing Matilda (Australia)
1. Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree.
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til 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."
2. Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong.
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee.
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me."
Waltzing Matilda, . . .
And he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tucker bag, . . .
3. Down came the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred.
Up came the troopers, one, two, three.
Whose is that jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda with me."
Waltzing Matilda, . . .
Whose is that jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag? . . .
4. Up jumped the swagman and lept 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."
Waltzing Matilda, . .
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong, . . .
Why Tell a Lie (Ireland)
1. Two plus two is always four.
Why tell a lie when the truth is so good?
Elephants can't jump off the floor.
Why tell a lie when the truth is so good?
Mighty oaks from acorns grow;
The sky's above and the ground's below.
Plenty of good in what you know.
Why tell a lie when the truth is so good?
2. Yesterday has come and gone. Why....
There'll always be another dawn. Why...
3. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Why...
It's all in you, you're self-contained. Why...
4. One more thing you know is true:
Happiness just depends on you.
Just be honest through and through!
Why tell a lie . . . when the truth is so good?
Why tell a lie . . . when the truth is so good?

Wavin’ Flag
Wooh… Give me freedom, give me fire,
Give me reason, take me higher.
See the champions take the field now.
You define us, make us feel proud.
In the streets our heads are liftin’
As we lose our inhibition.
Celebration, it’s around us.
Ev’ry nation all around us.
Singin’ forever young, singin’ songs underneath the sun.
Let’s rejoice in the beautiful game,
And together at the end of the day we all sing,
When I get older, I will be stronger,
They’ll call me freedom just like a wavin’ flag.
And then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes…
When I get older, I will be stronger,
They’ll call me freedom just like a wavin’ flag.
And then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes…
Wooh…
Give you freedom, give you fire,
Give you reason, take you higher.
See the champions take the field now.
You define us, make us feel proud.
In the streets our heads are liftin’ as we lose our inhibition.
Celebration, it’s around us. Ev’ry nation all around us.
Singin’ forever young, singin’ songs underneath the sun.
Let’s rejoice in the beautiful game,
And together at the end of the day we all sing,
When I get older, I will be stronger,
They’ll call me freedom just like a wavin’ flag.
And then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes…
When I get older, I will be stronger,
They’ll call me freedom just like a wavin’ flag.
And then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes…

When I get older, I will be stronger,
They’ll call me freedom just like a wavin’ flag.
And then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes…
When I get older, I will be stronger,
They’ll call me freedom just like a wavin’ flag.
And then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes back, and then it goes…
Wooh…and everybody will be singin’ it.
Wooh…and we all will be singin’ it!
