We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearth-stone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

    No debemos ser enemigos. Aunque la pasión puede haber tensado, no debe romper nuestros lazos de afecto. los acordes místicos de la memoria, que se extienden desde cada campo de batalla y tumba patriota, hasta cada corazón vivo y piedra de hogar, en toda esta amplia tierra, aún hincharán el coro de la unión cuando nuevamente sean tocados, como seguramente lo serán, por el mejor Ángeles de nuestra naturaleza.

    biz düşman olmamalıyız. tutku gerilmiş olsa da, şefkat bağlarımızı kırmamalı. Her savaş alanından ve yurtsever mezardan, tüm bu geniş topraklarda yaşayan her kalp ve ocak taşına kadar uzanan mistik akorlar, sendikaların korosunu yine de dokunacakları zaman, kesinlikle daha iyi olacaklar doğanın melekleri.
