- “Advance Australia Fair” composed by Peter Dodds McCormick (Amicus) in 1878 and recorded by Australian bass-baritone Peter Dawson in 1927. With many changes, it was then turned into the National Anthem of Australia in 1984.
Lyrics:
When gallant Cook from Albion sailed,
To trace wide oceans o'er,
True British courage bore him on,
Til he landed on our shore.
Then here he raised Old England's flag,
The standard of the brave;
With all her faults we love her still
Britannia rules the wave.
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.
Beneath our radiant Southern Cross,
We'll toil with hearts and hands;
To make our youthful Commonwealth
A prosperous, happy land;
For loyal sons beyond the seas
We've boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.
Australia's sons let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in Nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In hist'ry's page, let ev'ry stage
Advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.
(Not included in the song but the last few verses)
While other nations of the globe
Behold us from afar,
We'll rise to high renown and shine
Like our glorious southern star;
From England, Scotis and Erin's Isle
Who come our lot to share,
Let us all combine with heart and hand
To Advance Australia Fair
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.
Shou'd foreign foe e'er sight our coast
Or dare a foot to land,
We'll rouse like sires of yore
To guard our native strand;
Britannia then shall surely know,
Beyond wide ocean's roll,
Her sons in fair Australia's land
Shall keep a British soul
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.
Spicy Take:
This is, and always will be, a far superior version of the anthem, than what we currently have.
Cant believe they actually changed it in the first place.
@@modelo3375 Yeah, but as it is, the parliamentarians have the power to change something without the publics permission, consultation or knowledge.
@@sambutton8494 I prefer this original version since it states the origin of this nation and its aspirations to develop and improve. It does well in defining our origins, where we came from as a country, as well as illustrating our country as bountiful and rich. The nation was born of Britain, which is stated in the first verse, the second verse is about Australians building a nation and the third verse is about our proclamation of our countries richness.
Plus, what's not sung in this edition, are the extended lyrics which indeed input our culture in it:
While other nations of the globe
Behold us from afar,
We'll rise to high renown and shine
Like our glorious southern star;
From England, Scotis and Erin's Isle
Who come our lot to share,
Let us all combine with heart and hand
To Advance Australia Fair
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.
Shou'd foreign foe e'er sight our coast
Or dare a foot to land,
We'll rouse like sires of yore
To guard our native strand;
Britannia then shall surely know,
Beyond wide ocean's roll,
Her sons in fair Australia's land
Shall keep a British soul
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.
In which these verses, do in fact, show to me, of our culture and our respect for whom we came from. The last verse stating that to old Britannia that we, shall be a VAST improvement to her, but we shall not forget our oath of origin, lest we are left in anguish of disconnection. One may see the connection to a nation far away as not reflecting the present, but I see it as our Journey as a nation, from our origins, to our present and future aspirations. Our anthem isn't about the fancy of the day or the politics of the extremist, but of the Australian Journey. Not many anthems speak of their countries journeys in such a beautiful hymn, and I'm proud that ours does.
I prefer Waltzing Matilda to remain as a patriotic song, a great folk hymn. And for "We Are Australian", personally, I don't like it as an anthem, it picks and chooses parts of our history and individuals as part of misguided populism as it's reason to be labelled as an 'anthem'. It feels more like a folk pop song to me, rather than an anthem, as well that it feels like a song made during a time in which people tried to reinvent the wheel. Lots of symbolism, but no spirit. The only alternative that I'd prefer other than the original Advance Australia Fair is; God Bless Australia as it's to the tune of Waltzing Matilda and to which invokes more of a nationalistic force from its words.
I believe the same with our old "Maple Leaf Forever" Far far far superior to the drivel we have now here in Canada.
me too but what i like about it also is the way its sung, i love that early 1920's 1930's audio and singing.
That sounds much better than current national anthem, current one sounds like a tourism song instead of an anthem
Facts
Yes. The new one is not powerful enough.
I reccomend the new anthem “God Bless Australia” It’s much superior and is same melody as waltzing Matilda
I'm curtain we don't have this one because it has pride in Australian history
@@thepickle5214
Sounds familiar. From a Canadian.
Still doesn't include the two most important verses:
"While other nations of the globe
Behold us from afar,
We'll rise to high renown and shine
Like our glorious southern star;
*From England, Scotia, Erin's Isle,*
*Who come our lot to share,*
*Let all combine with heart and hand*
*To advance Australia fair!*
In joyful strains then let us sing
"Advance Australia fair!"
*Should foreign foe e'er sight our coast,*
*Or dare a foot to land,*
*We'll rouse to arms like sires of yore*
*To guard our native strand;*
*Brittannia then shall surely know,*
Beyond wide ocean's roll,
*Her sons in fair Australia's land*
*Still keep a British soul.*
In joyful strains then let us sing
"Advance Australia fair!
Beautiful.
I don't think those two are more important than the others. All 5 versus are important. I agree its a big shame and oversight that these two aren't included. God Bless Peter Dodds McCormick.
@@flinttolley I don't think it can be called an oversight so much as a deliberate omission. Also as of 2020, a politician changed the lyric "we are young and free" to "we are one and free", because *_obviously_* cosmopolitanism is more important than youthful vigor.

@@AngloAus FOR THE COMMONWEALTH
Australia's real national anthem
It doesn’t fit us anymore. We’re too diverse to sing solely of England’s loyal sons from Scotia and Erin fair. If our goal was to keep Australia british we failed miserably, perhaps for the better.
Don’t get me wrong - I love this place and call it home! Its opportunities brought my parents here and I identify as Australian, but I wasn’t born here, nor do I have British heritage. Instead I can only give glory to God for the existence of such a prosperous Western nation for my family to call home.
@@J3D1D14HBut isn’t the that the core Australian Value,
Especially in this bit “For loyal sons beyond the seas, we’ve boundless strains to share”
A true Australian, knows the culture of mateship, a true Australian sees the beauty of this country
A true Australian rebukes the attempts to smear our country or change the Australia Day date
If you do that, who’s to say you are not an Australian?
I wish they would get all the schools to sing this song 😭😞
Too late, it's welcome to country now
@@obZenism lol no it isn't
@@obZenism Blooooody hell, its ridiculous the welcome to country, if it were up to me it would be scrapped but sure if we must have it ONCE fine but I went to an awards ceremony, and it was a government organisation. Every. Single. Speaker. had to go on with the whole recongnise spiel. ridiculous. The first fella kicking the show off, sure perhaps, I guess. Every bloody bloke who is going to have a word, come on....
I have sung the original lyrics to Advance Australia Fair in protest in regard to the destruction of the Australian Flag by younger indigenous people,
Aboriginal elders are saying, we should move on as a country by moving on
from the past and not blame the people who are in power especially those who weren’t even born after the events of 200 or so years ago.
God has Saved the Queen, and God Save the King!
Reject woke modernity
Return to good old patriotism, dislike for politicians, respect to tradition and King.
Much better than the modern version
The such a shame this lyrics isn't in use anymore >:(

"we've boundless plains to share" *actually sends you to Manus island detention centre like a boss*
*Laughs in Strayan*.
Pretty interesting that they changed it to make it more multicultural and how the anthem is vastly different from other British colonies where they just sing God Save the Queen
We did sing God Save The Queen, until I think it was 1976 (?) when we adopted Advanced Australia Fair, but from what I know, people didn't realise that the lyrics had been changed after we voted for Advanced Australia Fair and thus that's the story of our anthem.
@@TheGrandBogan Oh I didn't knew that thanks so much for the info
@@luvee659 Also, that God Save the Queen had been turned into the Royal Australian Anthem, which is separate from the National Australian Anthem
@@TheGrandBogan The lyrics havent changed (Except for one word in 2021). They just only adopted 2 verses.
@@Reynaertphotos There are some changes between this version and the one we have today. Besides the change you mentioned, our current first verse doesn't have "Australia's sons let us rejoice" it's "Australians all let us rejoice" only very minor change as well, the second and unfortunately less known verse has a few more changes.
The video has "Beneath our radiant southern cross, we'll toil with hearts and hands, to make our youthful Commonwealth, a prosperous happy land, for loyal sons beyond the seas, we've boundless plains to share, with courage let us all combine, to make Australia Fair, in joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia Fair."
The modern second verse is "Beneath our radiant southern cross, we'll toil with hearts and hands, to make this Commonwealth of ours, renowned of all the lands, for those who've come across the seas, we've boundless plains to share, with courage let us all combine, to Advance Australia Fair, in joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia Fair."
Still has similarities but quite a few changes throughout the second verse especially 😄 🇦🇺
What a beautiful rendition, I really love the first stanza!
This is the best version, candid and proud
Happy Australia Day!
I am very happy to be in Aystralia since 1980 and I love very much and I call Australia ... MUM from Gino Girone, from Sydney.
The lyrics remind me a lot about our old (unofficial) anthem in Canada "The Maple Leaf Forever"
Beautiful anthem. Both have been butchered by anti white, anti British/nationalist policies. We are everywhere and we are waking up! 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇳🇿🇨🇦
The only proper Canadian anthem.
That's what i thought tho, also i mistakenly mashed up the two anthems tho
"True British courage bore him on, til he landed on our shore. Then here he raised old England's flag, the standard of the brave! *With all her faults we love her still,* Britannia rules the waves!"
Congratulations for your national holiday on 26th January Australia from your friends in Germany
God save the queen. God save Australia.
indeed
Don't understand why they needed to change the national anthem :/ this one is perfect as it is

I love this original version.
Absolutely!
Such a magnificent version. Happy Australia Day!
Happy invasion day
When britainica rule over the waves! The spirit of An Empire!
Australia should use this version
For me it should be included those original stanzes in singing the national Anthem so that we should feel proud as Australian.
Happy Australia day

I would say thanks, but I am not very happy with the vast lots of Indian populations invading and subverting our amazing culture. Same goes with any other group that isn't of the traditional anglo-celtic variety.
Should foreign foe e'er sight our coast,
Or dare a foot to land,
We'll rouse to arms like sires of yore,
To guard our native strand;
S-Stop, it's too beautiful
I'm going to cry...
"To those who come across the sea..." You can tell they denationalized the song.

Reminds me a lot of "The maple leaf forever"
With Christ our head and Cornerstone,
We'll build our nation's might;
Whose way and truth and light alone,
Will guide our path aright;
Our lives a sacrifice of love,
Reflect our master's care;
With faces turned to heav'n above,
Advance Australia Fair;
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair,
You honestly think Christ is going to bless white Australia who built this nation on stealing killing and lieing to justify your demonic behaviour then your more delusional the the jewish religious leaders who Jesus dealt with thinking because bloodline gave them a right to enter eternal life your white privilege don't mean squat and it's not going to save you m8
I get called a racist for playing this 🤣
A great version of the best anthem in the world.
@Have fun I think they should have left it alone.
Absolutely beautiful hymn, why in God's name would we want to change it, or, heaven forbid become a republic? I don't get it, the PM even recently changing it AGAIN to 'one and free' instead of 'young and free' annoyed me to no end
it's not "Multicultural" enough
you'll find most indigenous and Anglo Australians would be happy with the old anthem while most non Anglo "Australians" are self loathing foreigners who want Australia to be like their homelands atheist and cultureless with an anthem blander then the word bland
God bless Australia 🇦🇺 😁
The 1878 original "Advance Australia Fair" written by Peter Peter Dodds McCormick is of course far better than our current one, but just like our current one it still seems more descriptive than motivating. In my opinion the tune is inferior to Waltzing Matilda, yet the lyrics are superior.
That is why I prefer the patriotic lyrics of "God Bless Australia" written by Jack O'Hagan 1961 set to the tune of Waltzing Matilda.
Ultimately though either the 1878 "Advance Australia Fair" or the 1961 "God Bless Australia" would be a great improvement over the contemporary version we have now, especially after the "young and free" to "one and free" change.
Don’t we just all love the queen
God Save the Queen and Heaven Bless Australia
GSTQ
I always thought the anthem wasnt that good, after this i changed my mind, its just sung by mediocre singers, this is the best version and real version
These lyrics are much better
100%
bootiful singing
This is what we should we sing today.
I am Aboriginal but this doesn’t annoy me at all. In fact I like how it is. But I would prefer God Bless Australia or some other Waltzing Matilda tune simply because it sounds good and patriotic (not that Advance Australia Fair isn’t’
beautiful to hear!
The First verse gives me the "Maple Leaf Forever" Vibes
Coincidentially, i sometimes mixed up the Tune of Maple Leaf Forever and Advance Australia Fair
I am sorry but this song absolutely demolishes the current anthem.
This is so much better
They actually showed a guy throwing a boomerang ha.
Funny how all the non-White immigrants who are “proud to be Australian mate 🇦🇺 (insert flag of third world hole)” suddenly disappear from the comments sections of the songs they don’t like with more explicit lyrics.
Let us true blue Australians sing along proudly and unashamedly!
Australia for the White Man! 🇦🇺
*BRITTANIA RULES THE WAVES*
Love C.O.A.(=Commonwealth Of Australia) from South Korea.
God save the Queen
Yep, this is much better.
As Australia Day approaches, here we go again. If its nor the Anthem then its the Flag or the date. Morrison sneaked another change in, an other stupid idea. 👎
As Australia Day approaches, play this song at full blast wherever you are, wave the flag proudly and buy merch defending the date.
Not many people I know appreciate the “poms” anymore, so if we made it our anthem again, it would NOT be received well...
Face it: the Australian identity has changed. We’ve got people from everywhere now, so this anthem does not fit us anymore.
Love you Australia . Lord bless you 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Make australia based again
i Want to Scream the Lyrics to This Song!
Where is the footage from 0:32 from?
Can't believe my kids start school with welcome to country shit instead of this beautiful song
Based
Extended? Short? Politically Incorrect to today's standards? Who gives a shit? As long as there an anthem for this land, may we honour it.
This should be the one we use
God Bless King Charles!
It's so much better :')
I wonder who was throwing the boomerang at the end of it
You know you're early when the video is 2 years old. It turned 2 years old 25 days ago when I write this.
The based version
1: Amazing song! Better than the one you have currently!
2: I thought of this when I saw the clip of the guy tossing a boomerang:
How on Earth is it effective as a weapon?
Yes it returns to you, which is nice, but if you actually hit something, it doesn't return, because the kinetic energy is transferred to the target. Making it basically a spear, but without the spear's penetrating ability.
You throw a boomerang into a flock of birds. The way it loops ensures it cuts through the flock. You then run and pick up the birds. There are larger boomerangs made to fly straight for larger prey.
@@bonnypop5764 - Thank you, sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar :D I've often wondered what the point of the boomerang as a weapon even is. So it's more like a hunting tool than a warfare-weapon
This should be the anthem its much better than the butchered woke version
At least this version actually had Australian and pan-Anglo-Saxon nationalism in it!
Just arrived in Australia 1 year ago and trust me I'm in love with this country. One day I will be Australian too. Inshallah انشاء اللہ
Australia debe de ser un país sin problemas. No debe haber paro ni delincuencia ni separatistas ni problemas raciales ni con el idioma ni nada

Why did they take it off the nfsa page I can't find it
The new anthem has zero mention of the British, Cook and the origin of Australia… so much for the commonwealth I suppose chaps.
Oh yes, thie is the version we sang on the extremely rare occasions this was ever sung. The standards for patriotism were God Save the Queen and Waltzing Matida.
I Dedicate this song to our Gracious Lidia Thorpe!!! God Bess All Australian's))))))))))))))))))))))))
