It's so confusing for me to look at that and think "How can that say anything?"
It's awesome and weird at the same time.

And in English
[quote]We'll sing a song, a soldier's song,
With cheering rousing chorus,
As round our blazing fires we throng,
The starry heavens o'er us;
Impatient for the coming fight,
And as we wait the morning's light,
Here in the silence of the night,
We'll chant a soldier's song.
Chorus:
Soldiers are we
whose lives are pledged to Ireland;
Some have come
from a land beyond the wave.
Sworn to be free,
No more our ancient sire land
Shall shelter the despot or the slave.
Tonight we man the gap of danger
In Erin's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid cannons' roar and rifles peal,
We'll chant a soldier's song.
In valley green, on towering crag,
Our fathers fought before us,
And conquered 'neath the same old flag
That's proudly floating o'er us.
We're children of a fighting race,
That never yet has known disgrace,
And as we march, the foe to face,
We'll chant a soldier's song.
Chorus
Sons of the Gael! Men of the Pale!
The long watched day is breaking;
The serried ranks of Inisfail
Shall set the Tyrant quaking.
Our camp fires now are burning low;
See in the east a silv'ry glow,
Out yonder waits the Saxon foe,
So chant a soldier's song.

The National Anthem of Slovenia
Lyrics:
Zive naj vsi narodi
ki hrepene dočakat' dan,
da koder sonce hodi,
prepir iz sveta bo pregnan,
da rojak
prost bo vsak,
nee vrag, le sosed bo mejak!
English Lycrics(isn't translated literally):
God's blessing on all nations,
Who long and work for that bright day,
When o'er earth's habitations
No war, no strife shall hold its sway;
Who long to see
That all men free
No more shall foes, but neighbours be.

And now Germanys Anthem
But only the third stanza, the first and second are forbidden, or at last not official (anymore)
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 in dem Glanze dieses Glückes,
Blühe, deutsches Vaterland! :|
(The original Refrain don't have in dem, but the original word is not liked by the smartness system)
And for all non-Germans
Unity and justice and freedom
For the German fatherland;
For these let us all strive,
Brotherly with heart and hand.
Unity and justice and freedom
Are the pledge of happiness.
|: flourish in this fortune's blessing,
flourish, German fatherland. :|
Yeah, we have a fatherland, not a motherland.
Mu isamaa, mu õnn ja rõõm,
kui kaunis oled sa!
Ei leia mina iial teal
see suure, laia ilma peal,
mis mul nii armas oleks ka,
kui sa, mu isamaa!
Sa oled mind ju sünnitand
ja üles kasvatand;
sind tänan mina alati
ja jään sull' truuiks surmani,
mul kõige armsam oled sa,
mu kallis isamaa!
Su üle Jumal valvaku,
mu armas isamaa!
Ta olgu sinu kaitseja
ja võtku rohkest õnnista,
mis iial ette võtad sa,
mu kallis isamaa!

Wenn der Alpenfirn sich rötet,
betet, freie Schweizer betet !
Eure fromme Seele ahnt,
eure fromme Seele ahnt
Gott im hehren Vaterland,
Gott, im hehren Vaterland
Kommst im Abendglühn daher,
find ich dich im Sternenheer,
dich, du Menschenfreundlicher, Liebender !
In des Himmels lichten Räumen
kann ich froh und selig träumen;
denn die fromme Seele ahnt,
denn die fromme Seele ahnt
Gott im hehren Vaterland,
Gott, im hehren Vaterland
Fährst im wilden Sturm daher,
bist du selbst uns Hort und Wehr,
du allmächtig Waltender, Rettender !
In Gewitternacht und Grauen
lasst uns kindlich ihm vertrauen !
Ja, die fromme Seele ahnt,
ja, die fromme Seele ahnt
Gott im hehren Vaterland,

English:
When the morning skies grow red
and over us their radiance shed
Thou, O Lord, appeareth in their light
when the alps glow bright with splendor,
pray to God, to Him surrender
for you feel and understand
that He dwelleth in this land.
In the sunset Thou art night
and beyond the starry sky
Thou, O loving father, ever near,
when to Heaven we are departing
joy and bliss Thou'lt be imparting
for we feel and understand
that Thou dwellest in this land
When dark clouds enshroud the hills
and gray mist the valley fills
yet Thou art not hidden from thy sons
pierce the gloom in which we cower
with Thy sunshine's cleansing power
then we'll feel and understand
that God dwelleth in this land.
Once again smartness prevails.

And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.

O’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?[/QUOTE]

And autumn leaves lie thick and still

And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again

our country reeks of trees
our yaks are really large and they smell like rotting beef carcasses
and we have to clean up after them and our saddle sores are the best
we proudly wear womans' clothing and seering sand bloes up our skirts
and the buzzards they soar overhead and poisonous snakes will devour us whole
and our bones will bleach in the sun
and we will probably go to hell and that is our great reward for being the uh-roy-oy-al canadian kilted yaksmen
