Rule Britania 歌詞

Rule Britania - John Potter/Lucie Skeaping/The Broadside Band

When Britain first at heaven's command

 

Arose from out the azure main

 

Arose arose from out the azure main

 

This was the charter

The charter of the land

 

And guardian angels sang this strain

 

Rule

Britannia

Britannia rule the waves

 

Britons never will be slaves

 

The nations not so blest as thee

 

Must in their turn to tyrants fall

 

Must in their turn to tyrants fall

 

While thou shalt flourish

 

Great and free

 

The dread and envy of them all

 

Rule

Britannia

 

Britannia rule the waves

 

Britons never will be slaves

 

Still more majestic shalt thou rise

 

More dreadful from each foreign stroke

 

More dreadful from each foreign stroke

 

As the loud blast

That tears the skies

Serves but to root thy native oak

 

Rule

Britannia

Britannia rule the waves

 

Britons never will be slaves

 

Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame

 

All their attempts to bend thee down

 

All their attempts to bend thee down

 

Will but arouse thy generous flame

But work their woe and thy renown

 

Rule

Britannia

 

Britannia rule the waves

 

Britons never will be slaves

 

The muses still with freedom found

 

Shall to thy happy coasts repair

 

Shall to thy happy coasts repair

 

Blest isle

With matchless beauty crowned

 

And manly hearts to guard the fair

 

Rule

Britannia

Britannia rule the waves

 

Britons never will be slaves

 

Rule

Britannia

Britannia rule the waves

 

 

Britons never will be slaves
