ANTHEMS FOR THE SING-A-LONG

SCOTLAND v ARGENTINA 2.30pm Kick Off

SCOTLAND:
O FLOWER OF SCOTLAND (Matchday Version)

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

Those days are passed 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


ARGENTINA:
HIMNO NACIONAL ARGENTINO

Oíd, mortales, el grito sagrado:
"¡Libertad! ¡Libertad! ¡Libertad!"
Oíd el ruido de rotas cadenas
ved en trono a la noble igualdad

Ya su trono dignísimo abrieron
las Provincias Unidas del Sud
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!"
Y los libres del mundo responden:
"¡Al gran pueblo argentino, salud!"

Sean eternos los laureles,
que supimos conseguir,
que supimos conseguir.
Coronados de gloria vivamos
O juremos con gloria morir!
O juremos con gloria morir!
O juremos con gloria morir!


English Translation

Hear, mortals, the sacred cry:
"Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!"
Hear the sound of broken chains
See noble equality enthroned.

Their most worthy throne have now opened
The United Provinces of the South.
And the free people of the world reply:
"To the great Argentine people, good health!"
"To the great Argentine people, good health!"
And the free ones of the world reply:
"To the great Argentine people, good health!"
And the free ones of the world reply:
"To the great Argentine people, good health!"

May the laurels be eternal
that we were able to achieve
that we were able to achieve
Let us live crowned in glory
O let us swear to die with glory
O let us swear to die with glory
O let us swear to die with glory.
