AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL
(Bates/Ward)

(Performed live in 1986)

(Lyrics taken from Internet sources)

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

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassion'd stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness

America, America
God mend thine ev'ry flaw
Confirm thy soul in self-control
Thy liberty in law

O beautiful for heroes prov'd
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

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabster 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

SPANISH TRANSLATION:


AMÉRICA, LA HERMOSA
(Bates/Ward)

(Interpretada en directo en 1986)

(Letras extraídas de fuentes de Internet)

Oh, hermosa por los cielos espaciosos
Por las olas de grano color ámbar
Por las majestuosas montañas púrpura
Sobre la llanura de fruta

América, América
Dios derramó Su gracia sobre ti
Y que corone tu bondad con hermandad
De mar a brillante mar

Oh, hermosa por los pies peregrinos
Que con apasionada determinación crean
Una vía para el paso de la libertad
A través de la espesura

América, América
Que Dios enmiende cada fallo
Que confirme tu alma en autocontrol
Tu libertad como ley

Oh, hermosa por los héroes que se probaron
En luchas de liberación
Que más que a sí mismos amaban a su país
Y piedad más que vida

América, América
Que Dios refine tu oro
Que todo el éxito sea nobleza
Y cada grano divino

Oh, hermosa por el sueño patriótico
Que ve más allá de los años
Ciudades alabastro que brillan
No empañadas por lágrimas humanas

América, América
Dios derramó Su gracia sobre ti
Y que corone tu bondad con hermandad
De mar a brillante mar
