This Land is Your Land

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 …
