===Engelse tekst===
(>[[#Vooruit, mooi Australië|Nederlandse vertaling]]) all let us rejoice,<br />
For we are young and free;<br />
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,<br />
Our in Nature's gifts<br />
Of beauty rich and rare;<br />
In history's page, let every stage<br />
Advance Australia fair!<br />
In joyful strains then let us sing,<br />
"Advance Australia fair!"
When gallant Cook from Albion sail'd,<br />
To trace wide oceans o'er,<br />
True British courage bore him on,<br />
Till he landed on our shore.<br />
Then here he raised Old England's flag,<br />
The standard of the brave;<br />
With all her faults we love her still,<br />
"Britannia rules the wave!"<br />
In joyful strains then let us sing<br />
"Advance Australia fair!"
Beneath our radiant southern Cross,<br />
We'll toil with hearts and hands;<br />
To make this Commonwealth of ours<br />
Renowned of all the lands;<br />
For those who've come across the seas<br />
We've boundless plains to share;<br />
With courage let us all combine<br />
To advance Australia fair.<br />
In joyful strains then let us sing<br />
Advance Australia fair!"
While other nations of the globe<br />
Behold us from afar,<br />
We'll rise to high renown and shine<br />
Like our glorious southern star;<br />
From England, Scotia, Erin's Isle,<br />
Who come our lot to share,<br />
Let all combine with heart and hand<br />
To advance Australia fair!<br />
In joyful strains then let us sing<br />
"Advance Australia fair!"
Shou'd foreign foe e'er sight our coast,<br />
Or dare a foot to land,<br />
We'll rouse to arms like sires of yore<br />
To guard our native strand;<br />
Britannia then shall surely know,<br />
Beyond wide ocean's roll,<br />
Her sons in fair Australia's land<br />
Still keep a British soul.<br />
In joyful strains then let us sing<br />
"Advance Australia fair!"
==Vooruit, mooi Australië ==
