Vicious National Anthems

flags-of-the-world-poster
America:
….Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air….
….may the heav’n-rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust”……

Algeria:
We swear by the lightning that destroys,
By the streams of generous blood being shed
…That we are in revolt, whether to live or to die,..
..We are soldiers in revolt for truth…
..When we spoke, nobody listened to us,
So we have taken the noise of gunpowder as our rhythm
And the sound of machine guns as our melody,…
From our dead we shall build up a glory,
…Let it be written with the blood of martyrs

Belgium:
…Our strength and the blood of our veins we offer,
Be our goal, in work and battle

China:
With our flesh and blood,
let us build our new Great Wall!
The Chinese nation faces its greatest danger…
…Millions with but one heart,
Braving the enemy’s fire.
March on!..

Colombia:
…In heroes’ blood is bathing
The Land of Columbus…

Cuba
..You do not fear a glorious death,
Because to die for the country is to live

Denmark
King Christian stood by the tall mast in smoke and mist;
his sword was hammering so hard,
that the Swedes’ helmets and brains cracked...
…Who can stand up to Denmark’s Christian in battle?”

Djibouti
…The flag which has cost us dear
With extremes of thirst and pain
…And the centre the red star of blood.

Ecuador
…And shed their blood for you.
God observed and accepted the sacrifice,
And that blood was the prolific seed

France
Th’avenging sword unsheathe!
March on, march on, all hearts resolved
On liberty or death

Greek
…And the light of thy Sword
From the graves of our slain
Shall thy valour prevail

Guatemala
…Will call to you: Conquer or die

Honduras
…To guard this sacred emblem
We shall march, oh fatherland, to our death;
Our death will be honoured
If we die thinking of your love.
Having defended your holy flag,
And shrouded in its glorious folds,
Many, Honduras, shall die for you,…

Iceland
…One small flower of eternity with a quivering tear,
That prays to its God and dies

Israel
So long as still towards the East,

Italy
…Let us band together,
We are ready to die,…
..Italy has called us.

Libya
…The enemy’s army is coming,
Wishing to destroy me.
With truth and with my gun I shall repulse him.
And should I be killed,
I would kill him with me…

Macdonian:
….The Macedonians fight
for their own rights!

Mexico:
Mexicans, at the cry of battle
lend your swords and bridle;
and let the earth tremble at its center
upon the roar of the cannon.
…But should a foreign enemy
Profane your land with his sole,
Think, beloved fatherland, that heaven
gave you a soldier in each son.
War, war without truce against who would attempt
to blemish the honor of the fatherland!
War, war! The patriotic banners
saturate in waves of blood.
War, war! On the mount, in the vale
The terrifying cannon thunder
and the echoes nobly resound..
Fatherland, before your children become unarmed
Beneath the yoke their necks in sway,
May your countryside be watered with blood,
On blood their feet trample
Fatherland, fatherland, your children swear
to exhale their breath in your cause….
…For them a tomb of honor!….

Philipines
…But it is glory ever
when thou art wronged
for us, thy sons,
to suffer and die.

Romania
Wake up, romanian from the sleep of death,
…all your enemies should adore!..
…Now or never, we have to demonstrate the world
that in our hands still flows romanian blood
With armed arms, with your fire in their veins,
they all shout: “Living in freedom, or death!”…
Priests with the crucifix on their foreheads
a christian army, the motto is freedom and it’s aim is sacred.
We rather fall in fight, with unflawed glory
than being slaves again on our own ancient place.

Scotland
That fought and died for,…
…Proud Edward’s Army, ..

Serbia
…When our host goes forth to battle
Death or victory to embrace-
God of armies
! be our leader
Strengthen then the Serbian race

Turkey
…do not frown for I am ready to sacrifice myself for you!…
…If you frown, our blood shed for you will not be worthy

Ukraine
Ukraine is not yet dead, nor its glory and freedom,
Luck will still smile on us brother-Ukrainians.
Our enemies will die, as the dew does in the sunshine,
and we, too, brothers, we’ll live happily in our land.
We’ll not spare either our souls or bodies to get freedom
and we’ll prove that we brothers are of Kozak kin…

Vietnam
…Soldiers of Vietnam, we go forward, ..
…Our flag, red with the blood of victory…
…The path to glory passes over the bodies of our foes…
…Let us hasten to the battlefield!
Forward! All together advancing! …
…Soldiers of Vietnam, we go forward!…

vatican city
O Rome immortal, city of martyrs and saints…
…You are the comfort and the refuge of those who believe and fight

Wales
…Her brave warriors, patriots much blessed,
It was for freedom that they lost their blood
