IRELAND v SAMOA ~ THE ANTHEMS

ANTHEM OF THE IRU
(Uniting the North & South of Ireland)

IRELAND’S CALL
( Matchday Version)

Come the day and come the hour
Come the power and the glory
We have come to answer
Our Country's call
From the four proud provinces of Ireland
Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We'll answer Ireland's call

Ireland, Ireland
Together standing tall
Shoulder to shoulder
We’ll answer Ireland’s Call
WE’LL ANSWER IRELAND’S CALL!


SAMOAN NATIONAL ANTHEM

Samoan Lyrics

Samoa, tula'i ma sisi ia lau fu'a, lou pale lea ;
Samoa, tula'i ma sisi ia lau fu'a, lou pale lea ;
Vaai i na fetu o loo ua agiagia ai ;
Le faailoga lea o Iesu na maliu ai mo Samoa Oi !
Samoa e, uu mau lau pule ia faavavau.
'Aua e te fefe, o le Atua lo ta fa'a vae
O lota Sa'o lotoga,
Samoa, tula'i, ia agiagia lau
Fu'a lou pale lea.


English Translation

The Banner of Freedom

Samoa, arise and raise your banner that is your crown !
Oh ! see and behold the stars on the waving banner !
They are a sign that Samoa is able to lead.
Oh ! Samoa, hold fast
Your freedom for ever !
Do not be afraid; as you are founded on God ;
Our treasured precious liberty.
Samoa, arise and wave
Your banner that is your crown!
