JAPAN v SCOTLAND ~ THE ANTHEMS

O FLOWER OF SCOTLAND

Match-day 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


JAPANESE NATIONAL ANTHEM ... KIMIGAYO

English Translation of the Japanese National Anthem

Thousands of years of happy reign be thine;
Rule on, my lord, until what are pebbles now
By ages united to mighty rocks shall grow
Whose venerable sides the moss doth line.

"Kimigayo" (His Imperial Majesty’s Reign) is the National Anthem of Japan.
Its lyrics are the oldest among the world's national anthems

JAPAN v SCOTLAND IS NEXT!

This is a game that was in doubt yesterday because of Typhoon Hagibis that has been hitting this part of Japan.

It would have been sad for Scotland as they are in with a chance of being the second team through to the Quarter finals as they battle it out for 2nd place behind Ireland.
