Guess what this is....

[SnoopDog]

.....

Land of the morning
Child of the sun returning
With fervor burning
Thee do our souls adore.

Land dear and holy,
Cradle of noble heroes,
Ne'er shall invaders
Trample thy sacred shores.



So, guess what this is....besides being stuck in my head right now.

Snoopy, whistling

It's a national anthem.

Close.

The Philippine National Anthem, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[neonlyte]

Tierra adorada,
hija del sol de Oriente,
su fuego ardiente
en ti latiendo esta.

Tierra de amores,
del heroismo cuna,
los invasores
no te hollaran jamas.

It's better in the original language - I'm intriqued as to why this is stuck in your head right now.

Your new girlfriend wouldn’t be a Filipina, would she, Snoop?

Nope. It's stuck in my headbecause a co-ed of mine is Fillipino. She sang it to me in class because we were dealing with the U.S. annexation of the Philipines. And somehow it is a catchy tune.

The Philipino national anthem must be the only anthem that's not in the native language of the country it celebrates.

Well, technically the National Anthems of the United States, Canada, and Australia (probably New Zealand as well, but I don't know the New Zealand National Anthem) aren't in entirely native tongues.

Isn't what Snoopy posted just the English Version?

I thought it would be in Tagalog or Spanish

Somehow I doubt that the Tagalog or even a Spanish version would communicate the message well to a bunch of German students.

I guess there was no good German translation or that would be what Snoop would be humming now.

Humming the words instead of the tune? Hmm.

Still working on it erise
