Most nationalistic National Anthem?

Non existent?

Why do athiests have their own forum when they can't resist bringing it up in nearly every other forum?

So you have proof that "God" exists?

It's relevant to the discussion.

Yes, it's in the bible.

Still waiting on actual proof.

The big book of nonsense doesn't count.

While I haven't an iota what their saying...the welsh national anthem sounds insane

It's mostly about sheep.

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr* tra mad,
Tros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.
Cytgan:
Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad,
Tra môr yn fur
I'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.
2. Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bardd,
Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn, i'm golwg sydd hardd;
Trwy deimlad gwladgarol, mor swynol yw si
Ei nentydd, afonydd, i mi.
Cytgan:

3. Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad dan ei droed,
Mae hen iaith y Gymry mor fyw ag erioed,
Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad,
Na thelyn berseiniol fy ngwlad.
Cytgan:

O land of my fathers, O land of my love,
Dear mother of minstrels who kindle and move,
And hero on hero, who at honour's proud call,
For freedom their lifeblood let fall.
Chorus:
Wales! Wales! O but my heart is with you!
And long as the sea
Your bulwark shall be,
To Cymru my heart shall be true.
2. 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.
Chorus:

3. For tho' the fierce foeman has ravaged your realm,
The old speech of Cymru he cannot o'erwhelm,
Our passionate poets to silence command
Or banish the harp from your strand.
Chorus:

P.S. Not a mention of sheep.

The Soviet anthem makes me want to pick up arms to defend Mother Russia from the capitalist pigs. And I'm not even Russian at all.

The UK is great though. Rule Britannia speaks of a time when Empire ruled. I only wish I was alive in them days.

Rereg Orangebrigade ......... your power, as John Bulls, is on the wane. Look back on your halcyon days prior to the late 60s. In today's enlightened viewpoint, you must feel very proud of your ancestor's racist thinking.

The Chinese anthem March of the Volunteers is fairly out there, with its lines about building a new Great Wall with their flesh and blood ...

Orangebrigade clearly enjoys trying to rise people. That kind of yobbery is not unknown in Boards.ie. There must be very little in the way of stimulation where he lives if he feels the need to rub shoulders with a community he clearly despises. In one way I can sympathise with him because I have been to many strange places in his neck of the woods, and I have witnessed the breadth of culture in those places, where an orchestra is a fellow with a flute and another with a drum playing the same two tunes over and over, art is the same picture at every street corner i.e. a depiction of a royal paedophile on a white horse, and proof of one's educational accomplishments is provided not by a degree parchment, but by a tattoo on one's buttocks. But you need that kind of uplifting when you live in a slum.
On the other hand, I have no interest in golf ( each to his own, a concept that he probably needs explained to him ) but I have better things to do than go into premises frequented by golfers to tell them what a terrible game golf is.
Now fellow boardsies can I suggest that you all activate the ignore button in the face of his ignorant posts and get back to talking about anthems.
