1 Боже, храни нашу великодушную Королеву,
Да здравствует наша благородная Королева,
Боже, храни Королеву.
Дай ей ратных побед,
Счастья и славы,
И долгого царствования над нами,
Боже, храни Королеву.

Господи Боже наш, восстань,
Рассей её врагов
И приведи к погибели.
Посрами усилия их государств,
Расстрой их подлые уловки,
На Тебя возлагаем нашу надежду,
Боже, храни всех нас.

Благоволи излить на неё;
Да царствует она долго.
Да защищает она наши законы,
И да дарует нам повод
Воспевать сердцем и голосом:

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. 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. 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,

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. == == Soldiers are we Whose lives are pledged to Ireland; Some have come from a land beyond the wave.

my choice, The land in which poets and minstrels rejoice; The land whose stern warriors were true to the core, While bleeding for freedom of yore.
Chorus:
Wales! Wales! favorite land of Wales! While sea her wall, may naught befall To mar the old language of Wales.
Old mountainous Cambria, the Eden of bards, Each hill and each valley, excite my regards; To the ears of her patriots how charming still seems, The music that flows in her streams.
Chorus
My country tho' crushed by a hostile array, The language of Cambria lives out to this day; The muse has eluded the traitors' foul knives, The harp of my country survives.

Auld Lang Syne Should auld acquaintans be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And days o'auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my trusty friend, For auld lang syne! We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne. And here's a hand, my trusty friend, And gie's a hand o'thine, We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne. For auld lang syne, my dear, For auld lang syne. We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet For auld lang syne.
