for the national Anthem of the Republic of Ireland

Sinne Fianna Fáil
A tá fé gheall ag Éirinn,
buion dár slua
Thar toinn do ráinig chugainn,
Fé mhóid bheith saor.
Sean tír ár sinsir feasta
Ní fhagfar fé'n tiorán ná fé'n tráil
Anocht a théam sa bhearna bhaoil,
Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil
Le guna screach fé lámhach na bpiléar
Seo libh canaídh Amhrán na bhFiann.

So what's your favourite National Anthem?

I like the french one. If it's the one I'm thinking of anyway.

johnnyskeleton · 07-12-2007 01:07AM

Oh Canada...

monkeyfudge · 07-12-2007 01:08AM

Yep.. the French one... if only for the scene in Casablanca.

Santa Claus · 07-12-2007 01:11AM

Advance australia fair is kinda catchy. The italian anthem is quite cheery too!

MagicMarker · 07-12-2007 01:12AM

Actually, pre fight anthem in Rocky IV ftw.

Yay, its allot better than that irelands call bollox i have to listen to sometimes. ****ing ruger bugger kunts. Sing the real anthom not some made up ****e for political reasons (i think someone told me its not the real anthom because some players are from the north?)if they want to play on our team then they should sing our anthom and if they have a problem with then **** off back to the north.

Do we really need to have this debate again? Can't we just talk about other national anthems? I mean, no one even argues that Ireland's Call is a national anthem. So let's just move on?

Anyway, the old Russian Communist anthem was awesome. Remember Drago's entrance before fighting Rocky in Rocky IV? I swear, that anthem was so slick that I quickly changed into something red.

chopperbyrne · 07-12-2007 10:00AM

It's the Ireland rugby team, not the Republic of Ireland rugby team. By your reasoning, we should sing God Save Our Queen at Irish rugby matches too.

Infraction given.

The question was "So what's your favourite National Anthem?".
Please stay on topic.

Uneducated fool. It's the rugby anthem not the nations anthem.

Someone's got issues with 'rugger bugger kunts' . secretly fancy some of them do we?

On topic/ the Italian one is good fun to listen to. Typically Italian... unnecessarily over the top. The Argentinian one too

Agreed, go Soviet Union.

User45701 · 07-12-2007 10:12AM

i was under the impression that when a team named after a country like Irealnd
Italy France ect engaged a international match they sing the nations national anthom. How many contries dont sing there national anthom at international matches? i dont know.

Chunks · 07-12-2007 10:26AM

I can't think of any off the top of my head because I can't think of any other countries in the world that have the same problem as us and play rugby. Can you think of any rugby playing nations that are split in two by another nation?

I think Wales is a principality not a nation so technically they don't have a national anthem other than 'God Save our Queen'....although I may be wrong.

Oh dear. Some people just won't be told, eh?

Anyway, the French and English anthems are both pretty slick. Did you guys know that the Star Spangled Banner doesn't feature the word 'America'; even once?

Banned.

The Spanish! Their national anthem has no words. Which, come to think of it could solve all the Ireland's Call hassle. We should just hum all national anthems.

I think I feel a letter to the Irish Times coming on.

(And it's countries not "contries", don't not "dont", their not "their", anthem not "anthom", and a capital letter after a full stop.)

Sleepy · 07-12-2007 10:52AM

Have to say I've always thought Flower of Scotland was pretty cool

delta_bravo · 07-12-2007 10:52AM

Orchestral versions of the English National Anthem are sublime. Have an excellent one on my mp3 player. The East German Anthem was also decent in its day

Ooh, Welsh people would not be happy with you saying that.

It's a pretty cool national anthem too. People really get in to it and sing with passion!

Weirdly enough, Liechenstein's national anthem uses the same music as God Save the Queen.

I really think "Jerusalem" would be a far better national anthem for England. "God Save the Queen" is British, not English, anyways.

Its also an anthem of New Zealand if you are going to be pedantic.
