Long Live the Greatest Country

LONG LIVE THE GREATEST COUNTRY

 

OH, HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS COUNTRY THAT HAPPENS TO BE MY HOME

OF THE COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD, IT STANDS AT THE TOP ALONE

IN BEAUTY IT MAY HAVE EQUALS IN TREASURES AND MANY MORE

BUT IN USING THESE RESOURCES THEY ARE STILL VERY POOR

 

ITS PEOPLE SO ENERGETIC AND RESOURCEFUL THEY HAVE BEEN

THEY HAVE WORKED TO MAKE THIS COUNTRY THE BEST ANY ONE HAS SEEN

THEY HAVE THOUGHT OUT SOME IDEAS THAT HAVE HURLED US TO THE TOP

THUS LURING THE RICH, THE HUMBLE TO OUR LAND TO PUT UP SHOP

 

OPPORTUNITIES AND FREEDOMS ATTRACT PEOPLE TO OUR LAND

WHERE WITH EFFORT AND PERSISTENCE EVERYBODY CAN SUCCEED

        I KNOW THAT WHEN THEIR NEW LANGUAGE THEY SPEAK, WRITE AND UNDERSTAND          A NEW LIFE WITH OUR FREEDOMS, THEY WILL SOON OBTAIN, INDEED

 

WE GIVE THANKS TO ALL THOSE HEROES WHO ESTABLISHED OUR NEW LAND

THOSE WHO FOUGHT AGAINST THE BRITISH, HUNGRY FOR A FREE COUNTRY

THOSE WHO WROTE OUR CONSTITUTION PUTTING FREEDOMS IN OUR HANDS

AND ALL THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE FOUGHT TO KEEP US FREE

 

IT IS UP TO US THE LIVING TO OUR FREEDOMS GUARANTEE

BY SAFEKEEPING, BY ALL MEANS, AGAINST ALL OUR ENEMIES

BY GIVING OUR LIVES, IF NEED BE, THINKING OF POSTERITY

ONLY THAT WAY OUR GREAT COUNTRY FOREVER GREAT IT WILL BE

 

AMERICA IS THE GREATEST, IS THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD

FOR IT OFFERS ALL ITS PEOPLE THE BEST LIFE THEY CAN GAIN

FOR THAT REASON VERY PROUDLY OUR FLAG WILL BE UNFURLED

AND “LONG LIVE OUR GREATEST COUNTRY” WILL ALWAYS BE MY REFRAIN
