Bilingual
You know, in the bayous of Louisiana
"Quel beau pays", that's what the Cajuns say
And in New York's Little Italy
"Che bella terra", that's how they say it their way
And in the beer halls of Milwaukee
You'll hear the words, "Wie schön das Land"
And it's, "Qué lindo país"
That's what you'll hear them say
Along the border, down by the Rio Grande
You know, there's a lot of ways to say it
And it's a privilege to play it
'Cause a lot of good people earned it
And this is how I learned it
O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain
America, America
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good
With brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
