De Colores, living colors embrace all of nature with love in the springtime,

De Colores, living colors adorn all the birdies that fly day and nighttime,

De Colores, living colors envelope the rainbow in heavens above,

That's the reason I like all the colors that brighten

the life of the things that I love!

De Colores, living colors so brilliant and subtle that greet every morning,

De Colores, living colors reflecting the sunshine that brightens each dawning,

De Colores, living colors as graceful and peaceful as God's shining dove,

That's the reason I like all the colors that brighten the life of the things that I love!

Crows the rooster, crows the rooster with his kiri-kiri, kiri, kiri-kiri,

And the cluck-hen, and the cluck-hen with her kara-kara, kara, kara-kara,

And the babe chicks, and the babe chicks with their pio-pio, pio, pio-pi.

That's the reason I like all the colors that brighten the life of the things that I love!

We are joyful, we are joyful in God's loving grace, and that's why we sing,

We are happy, we are happy because we are subjects of Christ our King,

We are cheerful, we are cheerful and take our gladness to each faithful soul,

Radiating the truth that enlightens and brightens the way to our life's supreme goal!

We are joyful, we are joyful in God's loving Grace and that's why we sing.

We are happy, we are happy because we are subjects of Christ of King.

We are cheerful, we are cheerful and take our gladness to each faithful soul.

Radiating the truth that enlightens and brightens the way to our life's supreme goal.

De colores, De colores the fields love to dress in all during the springtime.

De colores, De colores the birds have their clothing that comes every season.

De colores, De colores the rainbow is vested across the blue sky.

De colores, and so must all love be of every bright color to make my heart cry.

De colores, De colores we witness the sun up on clear and bright mornings.

De colores, De colores the sun gives its treasures God's light to his children.

De colores, de colores The diamond will sparkle when brought to the light.

Joyfully Joyfully we will live in God's friendship because He has willed it

Faithfully, Faithfully we will slake the great thirsting of Christ the Immortal

Joyfully, Joyfully we will bring to our Saviour

A harvest of souls pouring outward the light from within,

The grace of Our God His infinite life

Missionaries, Missionaries of Christ with His courage determined to conquer

Cursillistas, Cursillistas who don't pay attention to human opinion.

Let the cowards, Let the cowards deride us and taunt us

But it is the truth that they really desire the pleasure

Of being in grace in colours with us

Springs of wattle; sprigs of wattle burst forth in their yellows and golds in the springtime.

Bougainvillea, see it sprawling around as it covers the ground like God's glory.

So the insects; so the insects flit down, blue, red, orange or brown; filled with life.

De Colores, the rainbow of Queensland, The gifts our Creator gave into our care.

De Colores, the rainbow of Queensland, The gifts our Creator gave into our care. Hooray!

Kangaroos, bounding late in the day In their great mobs of grey and of red,

And the reptiles; and the reptiles that slide, Hop or glide in the green blady grass.

Dancing brolgas, making praise in the morning, Rejoicing with pink underwing.

Hallelujah! The loving and giving, The colours are singing to make our hearts dance.

Hallelujah! The loving and giving, The colours are singing to make our hearts dance. Hooray!

Waterfalls; waterfalls rushing downwards To silver the rocks with their essence.

Golden beaches; golden beaches alive With the joy and the laughter of children.

See the desert, where the sands with their ochres Are blown by the wind of God's love.

De Colores, the rainbow of Queensland, The gifts our Creator gave into our care.

De Colores, the rainbow of Queensland, The gifts our Creator gave into our care. Hooray!

Sing the Chorus, sing the chorus, Because no one can really remember the verses,

Sing the chorus, sing the chorus 'cause what rhymes in Spanish does not rhyme in English.

Sing the Chorus, sing the chorus, Because all the words never really seem to fit____

Sing the chorus and clap your hands loudly and no one will notice you really don't know it!

Oh, the calories, the calories we see when we're happily camping with pasta;

Oh the colors, the colors we see when pajama and wine both catch fire;

Oh, the colors of gasoline, iris, vermin and lace;

And posses of grandmas and movies, we all find quite groovy, so gutsy are we!

Drinking Gallo, drinking Gallo makes us act queerly, queerly, queerly, queerly;

Oh that Gallo, that Gallo makes us gag cara, cara, cara, cara, cara;

The aroma, the aroma makes us go pee-o, pee-o, pee-o, pee;

And posses of grandmas and movies, we all find quite groovy, so gutsy are we!

Eat and Listen. Eat and listen, and listen, and listen and listen and listen;

Eat and Listen, Eat and Listen, and listen and listen and listen and listen........etc!
