World Cup National Anthems

By: WC Bob | May 22nd, 2006 | 15 Comments »

The teams line up. The crowd rises. The national anthems are played. What a magical moment. Until you find out that the opposing country’s anthem lasts for 25 minutes and you realize that all that beer you have been drinking necessitates a trip to potty. To avoid this situation, you can check out the national anthems for your country and all of its World Cup opponents. I’ve been listening to my beloved Angola’s song all day long. You’ll want to get to know it now so that you can sing along when the Palancas lift the trophy on July 9.

I think the band, “A Flock of Seagulls” did the National Anthem for one of the teams in this year’s World Cup.

I can’t remember which one, though.

Should the fact that it said ‘For official US State Department use only’ at the bottom of the page worry me?

The Croatian National Anthem just rocks. Great melody and a powerful poem. Every Croat places his right hand over his hart when it is played something the Croatian team will be continuing in Germany.

Here is the English translation of this great work of art :-)

‘Our Beautiful Homeland’

Beautiful is our homeland,
O so fearless, o so gracious,
Our fathers’ ancient glory,
May God bless you, live forever!

You are our only glory,
You are our only treasure,
Yes, we love your plains and valleys,
Yes we love your hills and mountains.

Sava, Drava, keep on flowing,
Danube, do not lose your vigor,
Deep blue sea go tell the whole world,
That a Croat loves his homeland.

When his fields are kissed by sunshine,
When his oaks are whipped by wild winds,
When his dear ones go to heaven,
Still his heart beats for Croatia!

Hey Kevin. I wish exactly the same for my team – to repeat the glory of 1966, only this time Portugal winning the cup and not England… ;-)
