Sing us the song of your people!

[Gamerking]

mine:

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."

[Holy Crap]

Yes, because our actual national anthem is incredibly gay.

[Acarr]

I don't know my country's national anthem. But I know America's since in every American film, they sing it.

[Gamerking]

Oh I just meant a patriotic song that makes you love your country...

[Acarr]

er...

"It's raining it's pouring
the several old men are snoring"

[Tobbe]

Our national anthem is max gay, so I'll use the unofficial anthem of the Norwegian national football team instead.

Norge er et vakkert land
Med fjell og daler
Hav og strand
Men våre vintrer kan bli kalde
Grønne slør og nakne trær
Varsler at en tid er nær
Som byr på spenning for oss alle

Våre beste menn
Skal
Ut i strid igjen

Vi gir alt
Alt for Norge
Ofrer alt
Om vi må
Vi er
Røde, Hvite, Blå
Hele kampen ut skal vi stå på
For Norge
Vårt fedreland

This is the first verse, pre-chorus and chorus.

[Limely]

Huhu, jaaaaa, vi elsker dette laaaandet...
I rarely sing it, but I know the melody by heart on the trumpet...

My city anthem is gayer though:
By ved hav, din egen stamme,
hyller deg med varme ord.
Du ha tent i oss din flamme,
og i oss din framtid gror.
Fram fra intet er du steget
høyt i ære, ry og makt.
Og vår by, du har ditt eget
sterke livsmot i oss vakt.

Rough, bad translation:
City by sea, your own tribe, (lol something like that)
hailing you with warm words.
You have lightened in us your fire
and in us your future grows.
Out of nothing you have risen
high in honour, glory and power.
And our city, you have your own
strong will to survive (couldn't find a good word for that) in us awakened.

There's a lot more worses but I only know the first one.

[Serza5]

I don't know my country's national anthem. But I know America's since in every American film, they sing it.

Shame on you! You don't know the Scottish national anthem. I've heard it but i don't know all the words.

[El Dango]

Der er et yndigt land,
det står med brede bøge
nær salten østerstrand
nær salten østerstrand.
Det bugter sig i bakke, dal,
det hedder gamle Danmark,
og det er Frejas sal,
og det er Frejas sal.

Der sad i fordums tid
de harniskklædte kæmper,
udhvilede fra strid
udhvilede fra strid.
Så drog de frem til fjenders mén,
nu hvile deres bene
bag højens bautasten,
bag højens bautasten.


Hard to translate, but i'll give it a try:

It is a beautyful country
It's standing with white... trees ( )
Near salty easterbeach
Near salty easterbeach
It's full of random hills and shit (i failed to translate this part, so i made something up instead)
It's name is good ol' Denmark
And that is Freja's hall
And that is Freja's hall

Long ago there sat
The very bad dressed giants (LOL)
Rested from fight
Rested from fight
Then they went to enemies... land
Now resting their legs
Behind the big stone of the hill
Behind the big stone of the hill

[Zay-el]

Isten áldd meg a magyart
Jó kedvvel, bőséggel
Nyújts feléje védő kart
Ha küzd ellenséggel
Balsors akit régen tép
Hozz rá víg esztendőt
Megbűnhődte már e nép
A múltat s jövendőt

Rough translation:
God bless the Hungarians
With good mood and prosperity
Give him a helping hand
When fighting the enemy
Misfortune that had been tearing you
Bring him a happy year
This nation repented already
The past and the future


Pretty...pessimistic, so to say. ^_^; Please note that I'm only using 'him', because in Hungarian, there is no verbal difference between he/she/it.

[Acarr]

I don't know my country's national anthem. But I know America's since in every American film, they sing it.

Shame on you! You don't know the Scottish national anthem. I've heard it but i don't know all the words.

It probably got banned since we're now called "brits" XD

Everybody in the world knows Scots songs anyway- they're played at hogmanay! (new year)

[Serza5]

I never say i'm Brittish, even when you have to say your brittish.

La Marseillaise

[Holy Crap]

It's so long.

[Matyuv]

Our national anthem has good music but lyrics are gay unfortunately.

[Xenon]

The English national anthem is similar to the Russian one, then. Well, I believe so.

[Holy Crap]

Our national anthem has good music but lyrics are gay unfortunately.

Many songs are like that.

[stan423321]

Polish anthem would annoy Germans and Russians, so I don't know is it a good think to post it here.

[Acarr]

O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen.
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's army,
And sent him homeward
Tae think again.


The hills are bare now,
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now,
Which those so dearly held
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again.


Those days are past now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again! (as if)
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again.


O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen.
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's army,
And sent him homeward
Tae think again.

[Tobbe]

Our national anthem has good music

+1

Russia and Italy have nice national anthems.
