We are one, but we are many

我们是一个整体,但我们又是许多个体

And from all the lands on earth we come

来自世界各地。

We share a dream and sing with one voice:

我们有同一个梦想并齐声同唱:

I am, you are, we are Australian.

我是,你是,我们都是澳大利亚人!

Thanks!

we are one - 我們合而爲一

but we are many - 但我們也各有不同

and from all the lands on earth we come - 我們來自五湖四海

we share a dream - 我們分享同一個夢想

and sing with one voice - 齊聲高歌

I am, you are, we are Australian - 我是 你是 我們是澳大利亞人

I think you guys should take this up a notch, let's make this a true translation challenge:

sm888 should provide the music (sheet music too optional) and whoever translates it has to make sure is can be sung to the music and that it actually sounds good....

ok, but not me...I should be getting back to work now....hehe

You could cut down the new extra syllables (which will wreak havoc with rhythm) by replacing 澳大利亚 with 澳洲.

澳洲 refers more to the continent I suppose, just like 欧洲 and 非洲 being continents. Since Australia is both a continent and a country there is no difference.
