 Fly, Gay Freedom
[ Giuseppe Verdi, "Va',
Pensiero" - in Nabucco ]
Fly, gay freedom, upon
wings all golden:
Fly across ev'ry plain
and hill and mountain.
Near to our hearts now
come and so gently remain,
Taking up thy sweet
rest in our gay spirit again.
From the seas to
highest peaks forever bravely soar;
From the gulf to the
great lakes go wandering tirelessly.
Oh, my country, so fair,
yet us you still ignore;
But remember: our gay freedom burns
bright also in thee.
Open our mighty nation's justful arms even to us!
We, gay citizens, do love you so dearly.
Let the mem'ries of
freedom now arise to uplift us;
Let those dreams of
revolution now be reborn.
As we cry with gay
tears of lamentation,
We await that great day
of liberation.
Fly, gay freedom, upon
wings all golden;
While your many-hued
radiance shines, proudly we sing:
May true justice
prevail, and may gay freedom ring!
May true justice
prevail, and may gay freedom ring!
Let gay freedom ring!
Let gay freedom ring!
Let gay freedom ring!
Let gay freedom ring!
