ENGLAND ANTHEM ~ GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

God save our gracious Queen!

God save the Queen.


FRENCH NATIONAL ANTHEM ~ LA MARSEILLAISE

Allons, enfants de la Patrie
Le jour de gloire est arrivé!
Contre nous, de la tyrannie
L'étendard sanglant est levé
Entendez-vous dans les campagnes
Mugir ces féroces soldats?
Ils viennent jusque dans nos bras
Égorger nos fils, nos compagnes!
Aux armes, citoyens!
Formez vos bataillons
Marchons, marchons!
Qu'un sang impur
Abreuve nos sillons!


English translation :-0

Arise, children of the Fatherland
The day of glory has arrived
Against us tyranny's
Bloody banner is raised
Do you hear, in the countryside
The roar of those ferocious soldiers?
They're coming right into your arms
To cut the throats of your sons, your women!
To arms, citizens!
Form your battalions
Let's march, let's march
Let an impure blood
Water our furrows! :-D

Well we had an amazing time at The Principality Stadium in Cardiff yesterday watching my beloved Wales "in the flesh" for the very first time :-D

Wish I could say the same for our train experience ..... but that's a different story!
Never again!

AND I HAD A BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF MY LITTLE LEIGH KICKING :-D :-D :-D <3
