Argentina National Anthem

HIMNO NACIONAL ARGENTINO

First Part.
Oid, mortales el grito sagrado
libertad, libertad, libertad
Oid el ruido de rotas cadenas,
que responde a la noble igualdad.
Ya su trono dignisimo abrieron,
Ya su trono dignisimo abrieron,
las Provincias Unidas del sur,
las Provincias Unidas del sur,
y los libres del mundo responden
al gran Pueblo Argentino, Salud
al gran Pueblo Argentino, Salud !
Y los libres del mundo responden:
Al gran Pueblo Argentino, Salud !

Second Part
Sean eternos los laureles
que supimos conseguir,
que supimos conseguir !
Coronados de gloria vivamos
Oh, oh, juremos con gloria morir
Oh, juremos con gloria morir,
Oh, juremos con gloria morir !!


English Translation

Mortals! Hear the sacred cry;
Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!
Hear the noise of broken chains.
See noble Equality enthroned.
The United Provinces of the South
Have now displayed their worthy throne.
And the free peoples of the world reply;
We salute the great people of Argentina!
(repeat)
And the free peoples of the world reply;
We salute the great people of Argentina!
(repeat previous two lines)


CHORUS
May the laurels be eternal
That we knew how to win.
Let us live crowned with glory,
Or swear to die gloriously.
(repeat three times)


Lyrics: Vincente López y Planes, 1813
Music: Blas Parera, 1813
Adopted: 1813

Wales Team and Fans that have been able to make it to San Juan in Argentina are singing loud and proud

MAE HEN WLAD FY NHADAU (Match Version)

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed

Gwlad, gwlad,
pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

Gwlad, gwlad,

Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.

Just reapplied me RED LIPPY ....

I'm all ready in my WRU polo shirt

It's actually my World Cup 2015 one that I'm hoping I can embroider into 2019 when the time comes! :-D :-D :-D :-D

Well .... my Leigh Halfpenny top is not right for tonight as he is injured and not playing tonight!

My Welsh Rugby Shirt (nicked off my 19 year old Grandson from when he was 11) is worn out from MY use! :-D

So, now that I have lost 15lbs, I have been able to get back into this one :-D :-D :-D :-D


My obligatory red dangly earrings are on and my Two Wales Scarves are in situ

So almost ready to go! ;-) :-D :-D :-D :-D
