Edelweiss (Switzerland)

Edelweiss, Edelweiss. Every morning you greet me.
Small and white, clean and bright,
You look happy to greet me.

Blossoms of snow, may you bloom and grow,
Bloom and grow forever,
Edelweiss, Edelweiss. Bless my homeland forever!

Suitors (Brazil)

There are suitors at my door   O aleo paquio
Six or eight or maybe more     O aleo paquio
And my father wants me wed  O aleo paquio
Or at least that’s what he said. O aleo paquio

Chorus:
O le o la  O aleo paquio
O le o la  O aleo paquio
O le o la  O aleo paquio
O le o la  O aleo paquio

But I vow I never will
‘Til the rivers run uphill
And the fish begin to fly
And the day before I die

But my father said to me
You will marry and you’ll see
That your dreams will all come true
In a paradise for two

I was married just today
And the rivers run their way
And the fish will surely fly
And tomorrow I must die.

Waltzing Matilda (Australia)

Once a jolly swagman camped beside a billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he sat and waited while his billy boiled,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?

Chorus:
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda,
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
And he sang as he sat and waited while his billy boiled,
Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"

Down came a jumpbuck to drink at the billabong,
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he stowed that jumback in his tuckerbag,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"

Up came the squatter, mounted on his thoroughbred
Down came the troopers - one, two, three,
"Where's that jolly jumpbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?
You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me"

Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong,
"You'll never take me alive!", said he.
And his ghost may be heard as you pass beside that billabong,
"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"
