The National Anthem God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen: Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us: God save the Queen. O Lord our God arise, Scatter her enemies, And make them fall: Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks, On Thee our hopes we fix: God save us all. Thy choicest gifts in store On her be pleased to pour; Long may she reign: May she defend our laws, And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice God save the Queen. Боже, храни нашу великодушную Королеву, Да здравствует наша благородная Королева, Боже, храни Королеву: Сделай её победоносной, удачливой и прославленной, Пусть она правит над нами: Боже, храни Королеву. Господь, ты наш Бог, воскресни, Поссорь её врагов, И заставь их проиграть. Запутай их действия, Сорви их подлые планы, На тебя мы возлагаем наши надежды, Боже, храни нас всех. Пусть будут обильные подарки, От её имени приятно раздаваемые; Пусть будет долгим её царствование: Пусть она защищает наши законы И пусть мы всегда сможем Петь сердцем и голосом Боже, храни Королеву.
