WAGGGS / International Songs

Come Into Sangam
   
Come into Sangam,
Walk through the open door.
In this home of unity,
Listen, share, and explore
Leave behind the barriers
Of culture, race, and creed
Come together and begin.
World harmony can succeed.

Look into faces
Of ones who've come and gone.
See the love that shines from them,
The friendship that's been born.
The oneness found at Sangam
Brings joy to your soul.
Share it with your sisters
And your laughter will be whole.

Share it with your sisters
And your laughter will be whole.

Our Cabaña Song
   
'Neath the grand Sierra Madre
On a plain in Mexico,
Lies our beautiful Cabaña,
Where Girl Scouts and Guides go.
Oh, come then to see the mountains,
The cactus and sunny skies;
Hear the cricket in the evening
And see the white moon arise.

When you see the warm red roofs
You think of hearts that glow with cheer
And the walls of sturdy stone work
Stand for friendship so dear.
Each day there is filled with laughter,
Each evening is filled with song,
And our stay in Our Cabaña
Gives us memories life-long.

When we go to Our Cabaña
We will find ourselves at home;
There's a greeting smile so friendly
And a handshake so warm.
So come now to Our Cabaña
World friendship to increase,
And carry to your homeland
International peace.
In Spanish:

En la bella Cuernavaca
En un valle en México,
Se encuentra Nuestra Cabaña,
Un lugar lleno de sol.
Vamos a Nuestra Cabaña
Gozaremos al llegar
De amistad y de alegría
Y de belleza sin par.

Cada día en Nuestra Cabaña
Trabajamos por cumplir
Los ideales del Guidismo
Y de nuestro Fundador.
Vayamos a la Cabaña
Nuestra promesa a vivir
Con nuestras hermanas Guías
La amistad a compartir.

Our Chalet Song
   
High up, high on the mountain,
We’ve founded our Chalet. (repeat)

Its sloping roof and wide shall shelter us without a care.
And each Girl Scout and Guide shall find a welcome there.

High up, high on the mountain,
We’ll go to our Chalet. (repeat)

Our simple life is free, our hearts are light, our songs are gay,
We ever shall remember the joy of our Chalet.

High up, high on the mountain,
We’ve founded our Chalet. (repeat)

And this its dedication shall never fail nor be undone:
Each race, each creed, each nation, beneath its roof are one.

Làhaut, sur la montagne,
Il est un grand Chalet; (repeat)

Son large toit penché abritera notre amitié;
Pour toutes les Eclaireuses, il sera le foyer.

Làhaut, sur la montagne,
Allons au grand Chalet. (repeat)

Goûter la joie du camp et du travail fait en chantant,
La vie simple et sereine et te recueillement.

Làhaut, sur la montagne,
Dans notre grand Chalet, (repeat)

Autour de l’âtre gris où le feu clair pétille et rit,
Nous nous sentons unies et fortes par l’espirit.

Pax Lodge Song
   
We wish you love,
We wish you light,
We wish you colours soft and bright,
We wish you light,
We wish you love,
We wish you peace on the wings of a snow white dove.

And with our sisters by our side,
We learn to lead, we learn to guide,
We clear the path, we pave the way,
To peace on earth, to a brighter day.

We wish you love,
We wish you light,
We wish you colours soft and bright,
We wish you light,
We wish you love,
We wish you peace on the wings of a snow white dove.

Sometimes the road,
Is hard and long,
And yet together we are strong,
And as we weave life’s tapestry,
Each colour blends in harmony.

We wish you love,
We wish you light,
We wish you colours soft and bright,
We wish you light,
We wish you love,
We wish you peace on the wings of a snow white dove.

Where'er we wander,
Where'er we roam,
Pax Lodge will always be our home,
A place where strangers soon are friends,
I’ll meet you there where the rainbow ends.

We wish you love,
We wish you light,
We wish you colours soft and bright,
We wish you light,
We wish you love,
We wish you peace on the wings of a snow white dove.
Peace on the wings of a snow white dove.

The World Song
   
Our way is clear as we march on,
And see! Our flag on high
Is never furled throughout the world,
For hope shall never die!
We must unite for what is right
In friendship true and strong,
Until the earth in its rebirth
Shall sing our song!
Shall sing our song!

All those who loved the true and good,
Whose promises were kept,
With humble mind, whose acts were kind,
Whose honour never slept.
These were the free! And we must be
Prepared like them to live,
To give to all, both great and small
All we can give!
All we can give!

Ensemble marchon vers l’avenir
En chantant dans le soleil,
Nous promettons de toujours servir
En un monde fraternel,
Et nos voix unies par delà les mers
S’élèvant de toute la terre.
Dans l’amour et la joie nous suivons notre loi
Pour étre prétes
Pour étre prétes.

Le trèfle d’or sur le drapeau bleu
Flotte au vent de tous les ciels,
Nous accourons d’un élan joyeaux
Où retentit son appel,
Formant de nos mains pour le monde entie
La chaîne de notre amitié
Dans l’amour et la joie nous suivons notre loi
Pour étre prétes
Pour étre prétes.

The World Song of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts was adopted at the 13th World Conference. The music was adapted with the approval of Finnish composer Jean Sibelius from his March, Opus 91b, which had originally been composed for one of the oldest Scout companies  in Finland as their march. First published with English words by Gavin Ewart in 1952.
