Question

Philippines "Chosen Land"

Land of the morning,

Child of the sun returning,

With fervor burning,

Thee do our souls adore.

Land dear and holy,

Cradle of noble heroes,

Ne'er shall invaders

Trample thy sacred shore.

Ever within thy skies and through thy clouds

And o'er thy hills and sea,

Do we behold the radiance, feel and throb,

Of glorious liberty.

Thy banner, dear to all our hearts,

Its sun and stars alight,

O never shall its shining field

Be dimmed by tyrant's might!

Beautiful land of love,

O land of light,

In thine embrace 'tis rapture to lie,

But it is glory ever, when thou art wronged,

For us, thy sons to suffer and die.

Answer 1

It sounds much better in Welsh:

The land of my fathers is dear unto me,

Old land where the minstrels are honoured and free:

Its warring defenders, so gallant and brave,

For freedom their life's blood they gave

Land, Land, True I am to my land!

While seas secure,

this land so pure,

O may our old language endure.

O land of the mountains, the bard's paradise,

Whose precipice, valleys lone as the skies,

Green murmuring forest, far echoing flood

Fire the fancy and quicken the blood

If the enemy oppresses my land under his foot,

The old speech of Wales will live forever,

Our passionate poets to silence command

Or banish the harp from your strand.

Answer 2

NEW ZEALAND:

God of nations at thy feet!

In the bonds of love we meet!

Hear our voices we entreat!

God defend our free lands!

Guard Pacific triple star!

From the shafts of strife and war!

Make her praises heard afar!

God defend New Zealand!

IN THE NATIVE TONGUE:

E ihoa atua!

O nga iwi! Matoura!

Ata whaka rongona!

Me aroha noa!

Kia hua ko te pai!

Kia tau to atawhai!

Manaakitia mai!

Aotearoa!

THE MAORI BATTALION SONG:  WW2 MARCH

Take the honour of the people with you

We will march, march, march to the enemy!

And we'll fight, fight, fight to the end!

Answer 3

O! Say can you see by the dawn's early light

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming.

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.  And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.  Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

Answer 4

I'm American so ours is The Star Spangled Banner, but I will say the french national anthem is pretty screwed up!

No offense to any french on here. :)

La Marseillaise

Let's go children of the fatherland,

The day of glory has arrived!

Against us tyranny's

Bloody flag is raised! (repeat)

In the countryside, do you hear

The roaring of these fierce soldiers?

They come right to our arms

To slit the throats of our sons, our friends!

Refrain

Grab your weapons, citizens!

Form your batallions!

Let us march! Let us march!

May impure blood

Water our fields!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

This horde of slaves, traitors, plotting kings,

What do they want?

For whom these vile shackles,

These long-prepared irons? (repeat)

Frenchmen, for us, oh! what an insult!

What emotions that must excite!

It is us that they dare to consider

Returning to ancient slavery!

What! These foreign troops

Would make laws in our home!

What! These mercenary phalanxes

Would bring down our proud warriors! (repeat)

Good Lord! By chained hands

Our brows would bend beneath the yoke!

Vile despots would become

The masters of our fate!

Tremble, tyrants! and you, traitors,

The disgrace of all groups,

Tremble! Your parricidal plans

Will finally pay the price! (repeat)

Everyone is a soldier to fight you,

If they fall, our young heros,

France will make more,

Ready to battle you!

Frenchmen, as magnanimous warriors,

Bear or hold back your blows!

Spare these sad victims,

Regretfully arming against us. (repeat)

But not these bloodthirsty despots,

But not these accomplices of Bouillé,

All of these animals who, without pity,

Tear their mother's breast to pieces!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Sacred love of France,

Lead, support our avenging arms!

Liberty, beloved Liberty,

Fight with your defenders! (repeat)

Under our flags, let victory

Hasten to your manly tones!

May your dying enemies

See your triumph and our glory!

Refrain

We will enter the pit

When our elders are no longer there;

There, we will find their dust

And the traces of their virtues. (repeat)

Much less eager to outlive them

Than to share their casket,

We will have the sublime pride

Of avenging them or following them!

Refrain

Answer 6

Soldiers are we,

whose lives are pledged to Ireland

Some have come from a land beyond the wave,

Some to be free,

no more our ancient sireland

Shall shelter the despot or the slave;

tonight we man the Bearna Baoghal

In Erin's cause.

come woe or weal;

'Mid cannon's roar and rifle's peal

We'll chant a soldier's song.

We'll sing a song, a soldier's song

With cheering, rousing chorus

As round our blazing fires we thong,

The starry heavens o'er us;

Impatient for the coming fight,

And as we wait the mornings light

here in the silence of the night

We'll sing a soldier's song

CHORUS

In valley green or towering crag

Our fathers fought before us,

And conquered 'neath the same old flag

That's floating o'er us,

We're children of a fighting race

That never yet has known disgrace,

And as we march the foe to face,

We'll sing a soldier's song

CHORUS

Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale!

The Long watched day is breaking;

The serried ranks of Innisfail

Shall set the tyrant quaking.

Our camp fires now are burning low;

See in the east a silvery glow,

Out yonder waits the saxon foe,

So sing a soldier's song

that is for ireland and eire is one of the celtic godesses

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Answer 10

United States of America "Star Spangled Banner"

Oh, say can you see,

By the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hailed

At the twilight's last gleaming,

Whose broad stripes and bright stars,

Through the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched

Were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets' red glare,

The bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night

That our flag was still there.

O, say, does that

Star-Spangled Banner yet wave

O'er the land of the free

And the home of the brave?
