I Am Australian

I Am Australian
I came from the Dreamtime
From the mountains, rivers, caves
I am the ancient heart
The keeper of the flame
Saw the white man/strangers come towards
I am from
Long ago, at the first, in the beginning
I am
I am Australian

I came upon the prison ship
Bowed down by iron chains
I bought the land, endured the lash
And waited for the rain
I'm a settler, I'm a farmer's wife
On a dry and barren run
A convict, then a free man
I became Australian
Sono figlio di un soldato
Che cerco la verità
Son cresciuto sulla strada
Tra le polvere che va
So il sapore della fame
Puoi ho visto otre età
Ho un terra, una patria
È la mia Australia
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"
I'm a teller of stories
I'm a singer of songs
I am Albert Namatjira
And I paint the ghostly gums
I'm Clancy on his horse
I'm Ned Kelly on the run
I'm the one who waltzed Matilda
I am Australian

I'm the hot wind from the desert
I'm the black soil of the plains
I'm the mountains and the valleys
I'm the drought 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
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"
"I am, we are Australian"
