Best National Anthem?

[ifiwasarichfan]

There is not an anthem on earth to touch this, even the translated words work.

O land of my fathers, so precious to me
Proud mother of minstrels high home of the free
The tales of her heros her annals shall tell
For freedom they fought and they fell

Wales

Wales

Ever my heart is in Wales......

Have to admit was visiting cardiff some years back and went to watch Wales v Russia when Mark Huges was the Manager. The way the welsh sung that anthem made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and I am not welsh.. Every one of them was belting it out and all were in tune.

This has to be the clear winner by a mile. It could be improved though if they had a Dance to go with it like the Maori's do.

Imagine Bellamy and monkey features Bale pretending to throw spears at your feet.

I don't know what it is about GSTQ, but I feel immensely patriotic and proud when I hear it.

For me, even if it's shit, I wouldn't swap it.

Or maybe a response to the challenge. If anyone hasn't seen this before it is absolutely fantastic. Well worth watching.

Our swimming club competes at meets in Llandudno every year and one of Llandudno's helpers is a trained opera singer (RNCM Manchester apparently) and before the day's events start, she sings the Welsh national anthem and it is fantastic

That's the one... sung in Welsh at a packed Millenium stadium before a rugby international..... nothing touches it

Wish I could do those linky things

Never understood why a principality has a national anthem

If we had Land Of Hope And Glory (that is England's anthem in the Commonwealth Games), ours would be the best.
