I googled the Irish National anthem,
It only had music..... there were a few written lines.
Are there words with it, what I could see I couldn't understand.
Can anyone translate ?
Everyone takes the p out of of the Welsh, but google puts up a translation .!!

Watching ar Barb get all lairy
It's not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
Its not very sensible either
An ar friend Jen get beaten
He looked the wrong way at a policeman
Would never of happened to Stephen {aw poor think}
or An old scousian

I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot

I tried to get to my taxi
The man in a shellsuit {Hoff} attacks me
He said that he saw it before me
And wants to get things a bit gory
Girlies scrabble round with thee kilts on
To try and get hold of the wee bally
If it wasn't for Shims they'd be frozen
they're not very sensible

I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot

And if there's anybody left in here
That doesn't want to be out there
Watching old Stevie get lairy
It's not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
It's not very sensible

I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot

And if there's anybody left in here
That doesn't want to be out there

I predict a riot
I predict a riot
I predict a riot

Scottish National Anthem in Gaelic, translated into English

O Fhlu\ir na h-Albann,
cuin a chi\ sinn
an seo\rsa laoich
a sheas gu ba\s 'son
am bileag feo\ir is fraoich,
a sheas an aghaidh
feachd uailleil Iomhair
's a ruaig e dhachaidh
air chaochladh smaoin?

Na cnuic tha lomnochd
's tha duilleach Foghair
mar bhrat air la\r,
am fearann caillte
dan tug na seo\id ud gra\dh,
a sheas an aghaidh
feachd uailleil Iomhair
's a ruaig e dhachaigh
air chaochladh smaoin.

Tha 'n eachdraidh du\inte
ach air di\ochuimhne
chan fheum i bhith,
is faodaidh sinn e\irigh
gu bhith nar Ri\oghachd a-ri\s
a sheas an aghaidh
feachd uailleil Iomhair
's a ruaig e dhachaidh
air chaochladh smaoin.

ENGLISH LYRICS

O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

The Hills are bare now,
And Autumn leaves
lie thick and still,
O'er land that is lost now,
Which those so dearly held,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

Those days are past now,
And in the past
they must remain,
But we can still rise now,
And be the nation again,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,

Yes you did invent the game back in the 13th Century Barbara

Unfortunately the Aussie goverment let too many Englishmen into Australia.
Didn't leave any Good Cricketers behind for you. We got all the Good ones

O Flower of Scotland
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for
Your wee bit of hill and glen
And stood against him ('gainst who?!)
Proud Edward's army,
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
That stood against him ('gainst who?!)
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
Those days are past now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him ('gainst who?!)
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again

Who do you thinks gonna win....Engaland...Engaland......er who do we play next????
