National Anthems


I was wondering what the words to everyones
National Anthems are?

Here's the Australian Anthem.

Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in Nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history's page, let every stage
Advance Australia fair!
In joyful strains then let us sing,
"Advance Australia fair!"

Beneath our radiant southern Cross,
We'll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing
"Advance Australia fair!"

Image

We only sing the first verse.

Star,nice thread...

Well, our National Anthem is "Fratelli d'Italia" or "Brothers of Italy" and it was written in 1847 by Goffredo Mameli.
It's very long but we don't use to sing it completely.

Here is the lyric:



Fratelli d'Italia,
l'Italia s'è desta,
dell'elmo di Scipio
s'è cinta la testa.
Dov'è la vittoria?
Le porga la chioma,
che schiava di Roma
Iddio la creò.

Stringiamoci a coorte,
siam pronti alla morte.
Siam pronti alla morte,
l'Italia chiamò.
Stringiamoci a coorte,
siam pronti alla morte.
Siam pronti alla morte,
l'Italia chiamò, sì!

Noi fummo da secoli
calpesti, derisi,
perché non siam popoli,
perché siam divisi.
Raccolgaci un'unica
bandiera, una speme:
di fonderci insieme
già l'ora suonò.

Uniamoci, uniamoci,
l'unione e l'amore
rivelano ai popoli
le vie del Signore.
Giuriamo far libero
il suolo natio:
uniti, per Dio,
chi vincer ci può?


If you want I can translate it but it took me a little bit.. emoticon



If you want to hear it there's a page you can visit.
In the middle of the page (more or less) you can read the words "ASCOLTA L'INNO",hear the anthem. You can click there and you see different versions.The third one is the complete version and very beautiful.
Enjoy!!! emoticon

Re: Your National Anthem.


Here is ours with some interesting information. There has been a dispute about this song for awhile because some of the notes are very hard to hit and we've had people "mess up" trying to hit them. We usually only sing the first

“The Star-Spangled Banner" - Words by Francis Scott Key - Notes by John Stafford Smith
 
 
1.Oh say can you see By the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed At the twighlight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars,Through the perilous fight,O'er the ramparts we watchedWere so galantly streaming? And the rockets' red glare,The bombs bursting in air,Gave proof through the nightThat our flag was still there. Oh say does that star-spangledBanner yet wave O'er the land of the freeAnd the home of the brave?
2.On the shore, dimly seen Through the mists of the deep,Where the foe's haughty host In dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, O'er the towering steep,As it fitfully blows, Now conceals, now discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam, In full glory reflectedNow shines in the stream: 'Tis the star-spangled banner!Oh long may it waveO'er the land of the freeAnd the home of the brave.
 
3.And where is that band Who so vauntingly sworeThat the havoc of war And the battle's confusion A home and a countryShould leave us no more!Their blood has wiped out Of their foul footsteps' pollution. No refuge could saveThe hireling and slave'From the terror of flightOr the gloom of the grave: And the star-spangled bannerIn triumph doth waveO'er the land of the freeAnd the home of the brave.

4.Oh! thus be it ever, When freemen shall standBetween their loved homes And the war's desolation! Blest with vict'ry and peace,May the heaven-rescued landPraise the Pow'r that hath madeAnd preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must,When our cause it is just,And this be our motto:"In God is our trust." And the star-spangled bannerForever shall waveO'er the land of the freeAnd the home of the brave.

"During a rendition of the national anthem -
(1) when the flag is displayed
(A) all present except those in uniform should stand at attention
facing the flag with the right hand over the heart;
(B) men not in uniform should remove their headdress
with their right hand and hold the headdress at the left
shoulder, the hand being over the heart; and
(C) individuals in uniform should give the military salute
at the first note of the anthem and maintain that position until the last note; and
(2) when the flag is not displayed,
all present should face toward the music and act in the
same manner they would if the flag were displayed."

Re: Your National Anthem.


Our national anthem is "Oi Maamme" which means "Our land", in finnish:

Oi maamme, Suomi, synnyinmaa,
soi sana kultainen!
Ei laaksoa, ei kukkulaa,
ei vettä rantaa rakkaampaa,
kuin kotimaa tää pohjoinen,
maa kallis isien!
 
Sun kukoistukses kuorestaan
se kerran puhkeaa,
viel lempemme saa hehkullaan
sun toivos, riemus nousemaan,
ja kerran, laulus synnyinmaa
korkeemman kaiun saa.

There are many more verses but we usually sing these two.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
 
Our land, our land, our native land,
Oh, let her name ring clear!
No peaks against the heavens that stand,
No gentle dales or foaming strand
Are loved as we our home revere,
The earth our sires held dear.
 
The flowers in their buds that grope
Shall burst their sheaths with spring;
So from our love to bloom shall ope
Thy gleam, thy glow, thy joy hope,
And higher yet some day shall ring
The patriot song we sing!

Canada's National Anthem:

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Hi Christy,

Canada, governed by a Liberal (democratic) government, is a Parliament type thingy... emoticon

Although I can literally have one foot standing in Canada, and one standing in the US, we are different......

Canada is very "European-like" in the sense that we:

- have a Prime Minister (not President);

- use Celcius (not Fahrenheight);

- use kilometers (not miles)....

just to name a few things! emoticon

And the Queen is very important to Canada--she is on our $20.00 bills, and it was a Queen who chose our nation's capital. emoticon

Re: Your .


This is the National Anthem of The Netherlands.

Wilhelmus van Nassouwe
ben ik, van Duitsen bloed,
den vaderland getrouwe
blijf ik tot in den dood.
Een Prinse van Oranje
ben ik, vrij onverveerd,
den Koning van Hispanje
heb ik altijd geëerd.

In Godes vrees te leven
heb ik altijd betracht,
daarom ben ik verdreven,
om land, om luid gebracht.
Maar God zal mij regeren
als een goed instrument,
dat ik zal wederkeren
in mijnen regiment.

Lijdt u, mijn onderzaten
die oprecht zijt van aard,
God zal u niet verlaten,
al zijt gij nu bezwaard.
Die vroom begeert te leven,
bidt God nacht ende dag,
dat Hij mij kracht zal geven,
dat ik u helpen mag.

Lijf en goed al te samen
heb ik u niet verschoond,
mijn broeders hoog van namen
hebben 't u ook vertoond:
Graaf Adolf is gebleven
in Friesland in den slag,
zijn ziel in 't eeuwig leven
verwacht den jongsten dag.

Edel en hooggeboren,
van keizerlijken stam,
een vorst des rijks verkoren,
als een vroom christenman,
voor Godes woord geprezen,
heb ik, vrij onversaagd,
als een held zonder vreden
mijn edel bloed gewaagd.

Mijn schild ende betrouwen
zijt Gij, o God mijn Heer,
op U zo wil ik bouwen,
Verlaat mij nimmermeer.
Dat ik doch vroom mag blijven,
uw dienaar t'aller stond,
de tirannie verdrijven
die mij mijn hart doorwondt.




Van al die mij bezwaren
en mijn vervolgers zijn,
mijn God, wil doch bewaren
den trouwen dienaar dijn,
dat zij mij niet verassen
in hunnen bozen moed,
hun handen niet en wassen
in mijn onschuldig bloed.

Als David moeste vluchten
voor Sauel den tiran,
zo heb ik moeten zuchten
als menig edelman.
Maar God heeft hem verheven,
verlost uit alder nood,
een koninkrijk gegeven
in Israël zeer groot.

Na 't zuur zal ik ontvangen
van God mijn Heer dat zoet,
daarna zo doet verlangen
mijn vorstelijk gemoed:
dat is, dat ik mag sterven
met eren in dat veld,
een eeuwig rijk verwerven
als een getrouwen held.

Niet doet mij meer erbarmen
in mijnen wederspoed
dan dat men ziet verarmen
des Konings landen goed.
Dat u de Spanjaards krenken,
o edel Neerland zoet,
als ik daaraan gedenke,
mijn edel hart dat bloedt.

Als een prins opgezeten
met mijner heires-kracht,
van den tiran vermeten
heb ik den slag verwacht,
die, bij Maastricht begraven,
bevreesde mijn geweld;
mijn ruiters zag men draven
zeer moedig door dat veld.

Zo het den wil des Heren
op dien tijd had geweest,
had ik geern willen keren
van u dit zwaar tempeest.
Maar de Heer van hierboven,
die alle ding regeert,
die men altijd moet loven,
en heeft het niet begeerd.




Zeer christlijk was gedreven
mijn prinselijk gemoed,
standvastig is gebleven
mijn hart in tegenspoed.
Den Heer heb ik gebeden
uit mijnes harten grond,
dat Hij mijn zaak wil redden,
mijn onschuld maken kond.

Oorlof, mijn arme schapen
die zijt in groten nood,
uw herder zal niet slapen,
al zijt gij nu verstrooid.
Tot God wilt u begeven,
zijn heilzaam woord neemt aan,
als vrome christen leven,-
't zal hier haast zijn gedaan.

Voor God wil ik belijden
en zijner groten macht,
dat ik tot genen tijden
den Koning heb veracht,
dan dat ik God den Heere,
der hoogsten Majesteit,
heb moeten obediëren
in der gerechtigheid.
