Lied Der Deutschen / Song Of The Germans

1. Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt,
Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
Brüderlich zusammenhält,
Von der Maas bis an die Memel,
Von der Etsch bis an den Belt -
Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt.

2. Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue,
Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang
Sollen in der Welt behalten
Ihren alten schönen Klang,
Uns zu edler Tat begeistern
Unser ganzes Leben lang.
Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue,
Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang.

3. Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Für das deutsche Vaterland!
Danach laßt uns alle streben
Brüderlich mit Herz und Hand!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Sind des Glückes Unterpfand.
Blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes,
Blühe, deutsches Vaterland.

--------------------
1. Germany, Germany above all
Above everything in the world
When, always, for protection and defense
Brothers stand together.
From the Maas to the Memel
From the Etsch to the Belt,
Germany, Germany above all
Above all in the world.

2. German women, German fidelity,
German wine and German song,
Shall retain, throughout the world,
Their old respected fame,
To inspire us to noble deeds
For the length of our lives.
German women, German fidelity,
German wine and German song.

3. Unity and right and freedom
For the German Fatherland;
Let us all strive to this goal
Brotherly, with heart and hand.
Unity and rights and freedom
Are the pledge of fortune grand.
Prosper in this fortune's glory,
Prosper German fatherland.

The Maltese National Anthem


To our fair land,
The mother who gave us her name,
Lord look upon her the way you always did,
Remember that you clothed her with the brightest light.

Grant oh great God,
The wisdom to those who govern it,
Grant the pity to its leaders
Force and health to the workers

Stengthen the unity between the Maltese and peace.

The Swedish National Anthem and the King's Song

The text of the Swedish National Anthem, "Du gamla, Du fria" was written by folklorist and ballad writer Richard Dybeck (1811-77) and set to a folk tune from the province of Västmanland in the middle of the 19th century. At the end of the century, the song was so popular that, over the course of time it became the Swedish national anthem.

Listen to the Swedish National Anthem (wma)*

Du gamla, du fria, du fjällhöga Nord,
du tysta, du glädjerika sköna!
Jag hälsar dig, vänaste land uppå jord,
din sol, din himmel, dina ängder gröna,
din sol, din himmel, dina ängder gröna.

Du tronar på minnen från fornstora dar,
då ärat ditt namn flög över jorden.
Jag vet, att du är och du blir vad du var.
Ja, jag vill leva, jag vill dö i Norden!
Ja, jag vill leva, jag vill dö i Norden!

Thou ancient, thou freeborn, thou mountainous North,
In beauty and peace our hearts beguiling,
I greet thee, thou loveliest land on the earth,
Thy sun, thy skies, thy verdant meadows smiling.
Thy sun, thy skies, thy verdant meadows smiling.

Thy throne rests on mem’ries from great days of yore,
When worldwide renown was valour’s guerdon.
I know to thy name thou art true as before.
Oh, I would live and I would die in Sweden,
Oh, I would live and I would die in Sweden.


The King’s Song

Written around 1844, The King’s Song (“Ur svenska hjärtans djup en gång”) pays homage to the Swedish king as the symbol of the Swedish nation. Lyrics by C. V. A. Strandberg and music by Otto Lindblad.

Listen to the King\'s Song (wma)*

Ur svenska hjärtans djup en gång
en samfälld och en enkel sång,
som går till kungen fram!
Var honom trofast och hans ätt,
gör kronan på hans hjässa lätt,
och all din tro till honom sätt,
du folk av frejdad stam!

The lyrics of the Swedish National Anthem and the King\'s Song (as a pdf file)

Performed by the Band of the Royal Guards Regiment. Conductor: Mats Janhagen.

The Dutch Anthem (of which I'm not proud):

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.

On Official occasions:

God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queen!
God save the Queen!
Send her victorius,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the Queen.

Second verse sung rarely:

Thy choicest gifts in store
On her be pleased to pour.
Long may she reign
May she defend our laws
And give us ever cause
To sing with heart and voice
God saaaave the Queen

Ymnos eis tin Eleutherian-Hymn to Freedom

We knew thee of old,
Oh, divinely restored,
By the lights of thine eyes
And the light of thy Sword

From the graves of our slain
Shall thy valour prevail
As we greet thee again-
Hail, Liberty! Hail!

Long time didst thou dwell
Mid the peoples that mourn,
Awaiting some voice
That should bid thee return.

Ah, slow broke that day
And no man dared call,
For the shadow of tyranny
Lay over all:

And we saw thee sad-eyed,
The tears on thy cheeks
While thy raiment was dyed
In the blood of the Greeks.

Yet, behold now thy sons
With impetuous breath
Go forth to the fight
Seeking Freedom or Death.

From the graves of our slain
Shall thy valour prevail
As we greet thee again-
Hail, Liberty! Hail!

The Spanish national anthem is of unknown origin, and dates back to 1760. Some Kehler believes it was composed by Frederick the Great of Prussia and then offered to Spain, though there are no evidence for this. It was first known as "March of Grenadiers", then declared as "Honour March", and finally "Royal March". It is instrumental and has no lyrics.

In sailor's spirit, I much prefer "La Salve Marinera" (Sailor's Hail). It is actually a Hail to Our Lady of the Carmen, patroness of seamen:

Quote:

¡Salve! Estrella de los mares, de los mares
Iris de eterna ventura;
¡Salve! Fénix de hermosura
Madre del Divino Amor.

De tu pueblo a los pesares
Tu clemencia dé consuelo.
Fervoroso llegue al cielo
Y hasta Tí, y hasta Tí nuestro clamor.

¡Salve! ¡Salve! Estrella de los mares.
¡Salve! Estrella de los mares.
Si, fervoroso, llega al Cielo
hasta Tí, hasta Tí, nuestro clamor.

¡Salve! ¡Salve!, Estrella de los mares,
Estrella de los mares,
¡Salve! ¡Salve! ¡Salve! ¡Salve!

*******

Hail! Star of the seas, of the
Iris seas of aeternal venture;
Hail! Phoenix of beauty
Mother of divine love.

Of your people the sorrows
Your mercy give solace.
Fervent reach the sky
And reaches You, and reaches You our clamour.

Hail! Hail! Star of the seas.
Hail! Star of the seas.
If fervent reaches Heaven
reaches You, reaches You, our clamour.

Hail! Hail! Star of the seas,
Star of the seas,
Hail! Hail! Hail! Hail!
Some mp3s
