English|Latin| I hear the land calling: ''terra, terra'' I hear the land calling me ''terra australis: non est terra incognita'' I hear the land calling me To walk on ochre soil under starry skies A million days I saw the sunrise And a million nights I danced I hear the land calling me ''Terra, grandis terra australis.''
