Swingin' Across America est une chanson en Anglais
Verse 1:
Oh, beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Across the fruited plain,
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
Chorus:
Swingin' through the land so free,
With a jazz groove, oh can't you see?
Let freedom ring, let voices sing,
In this land of harmony.
Verse 2:
Oh, beautiful for Pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness.
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw;
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.
Chorus:
Swingin' through the land so free,
With a jazz groove, oh can't you see?
Let freedom ring, let voices sing,
In this land of harmony.
Bridge:
Let the trumpets play, let the saxophones sway,
In the rhythm of the night, we'll find our way.
From the city lights to the countryside,
We'll dance together, side by side.
Verse 3:
Oh, beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life.
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And ev’ry gain divine.
Chorus:
Swingin' through the land so free,
With a jazz groove, oh can't you see?
Let freedom ring, let voices sing,
In this land of harmony.
Verse 4:
Oh, beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years,
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
Chorus:
Swingin' through the land so free,
With a jazz groove, oh can't you see?
Let freedom ring, let voices sing,
In this land of harmony.
Outro:
From sea to shining sea, we'll sing,
In every heart, let freedom swing.
America, in jazz we'll bring,
A song of love, forever spring.
