Текст песни I Am Australian (Stewart Peters) с переводом

I came from the dreamtime

From the dusty red-soil plains

I am the ancient heart

The keeper of the flames

i Stood upon the rocky shore

I watched the tall ships come

For fourty thousand years i’ve been the first australian

I came upon the prison ships

Bound down by iron chains

I cured the land

Endured the lash

And waited for the rains

I’m a settler

I’m a farmers wife

On a dry and barron run

A convict and a free man

I became Australian

Im a daughter of a digger

Who sought the mother load

The girl became a women

On the long and dusty road

Im a child of the depression

I saw the good time come

Im a bushy im a battler

I am australian

Chourus:

we are one

but we are many

and from all the lands on earth we come

we’ll share a dream

and sing with one voice

i am, you are we are australian

Im a teller of stories

Im a singer of songs

i am Albert namajera

and i paint the ghostly gums

im clancy on his horse

Im ned kelly on the run

Im the one who waltzed matilda

i am australian

im the hot wind from the desert

im the black soil of the plain

im the mountains and the valleys

im the drowned and flooding rains

i am the rock

i am the sky

the rivers when they run

the spirit of this great land

i am australian

Chorus x2
