Original text and translations

English text

O’er prairie green and fair,
We’re galloping, galloping on;
As free, as free as air,
We’re galloping, galloping on;
Where e’er we go no bounds arise,
Except the blue and cloudless skies,
We’re galloping, galloping on.

O’er prairie wide and free,
We’re galloping, galloping on;
As blithely as the bee,
We’re galloping, galloping on;
And nothing shall our progress stay,
As gaily on our course today,
We’re galloping, galloping on.

Thro’ beds of lovely flow’rs,
We’re galloping, galloping on;
As rich as maidens’ bow’rs,
We’re galloping, galloping on;
Tho’ ev’ry seed by Nature’s hand
Was scattered o’er this goodly land,
We’re galloping, galloping on.
