O CANADA (Bilingual lyrics, but different than standard version)

Ô Canada!

Terre de nos aïeux,

Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux!

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,

The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,

Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

Ô Canada (French lyrics)

Ô Canada!

Terre de nos aïeux,

Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux!

Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,

Il sait porter la croix!

Ton histoire est une épopée

Des plus brillants exploits.

Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,

Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

O Canada 2nd verse

O Canada! Where pines and maples grow.

Great prairies spread and lordly rivers flow.

How dear to us thy broad domain,

From East to Western sea.

Thou land of hope for all who toil!

Thou True North, strong and free!

God keep our land glorious and free!

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER (National Anthem of the United States of America)

O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;

O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

KDE DOMOV MUJ (WHERE IS MY HOME? - National Anthem of the Czech Republic)

Kde domov můj, kde domov můj, (Where is my home, where is my home,)

Voda hučí po lučinách, (Water roars across the meadows,)

bory šumí po skalinách, (Pinewoods rustle among crags,)

v sadě skví se jara květ, (The garden is glorious with spring blossom,)

zemský ráj to na pohled! (Paradise on earth it is to see.)

A to je ta krásná země, (And this is that beautiful land,)

země česká domov můj, (The Czech land, my home,)

země česká domov můj! (The Czech land, my home!)
