Translation
Bilingual
I've slept beneath your bridges
Near your oil refineries
I've gambled on your riverboats
Shenandoah, Kanakee
I'm the homeless lad
I'm an orphan child
Leaves of grass sewn through my hair
Yeah, me and old Walt Whitman
We're the men from God knows where
America
Better with the people's daughters
People's sons
All, all alike in beauty
Grow, ungrown
Young or old
Strong, ample, fair
Enduring, capable
Rooted, colonial with the earth
With freedom, law and love
