Текст песни Rule Britannia - BBC Concert Orchestra , Barry Wordsworth , Royal Choral Society

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 the strain
Rule! Britannia!
Britannia rules the waves!
Britons never will be slaves!
Rule! Britannia!
Britannia rules the waves!
Britons never will be slaves!
Still more magestic shalt thou rise
More dreadful from each foreign stroke
More dreadful, dreadful,
From each foreign stroke
As the loud blast
That tears the skies
Serves but to root thy native Oak
Rule! Britannia!
Britannia rules the waves!
Britons never will be slaves!
Rule! Britannia!
Britannia rules the waves!
Britons never will be slaves!
The haughty tyrants never shall tame
All their attempts to bend the down
All their, all their!
Attempts to bend the down
Will but arouse,
Arouse thy generous flame
But work their woe, and thy renown
Rule! Britannia!
Britannia rules the waves!
Britons never will be slaves!
Rule! Britannia!
Britannia rules the waves!
Britons never will be slaves!
The Muses, with freedom found
Shall to thy happy coast repair
Shall to they happy, happy!
Coast repair
Blest Isle with matchless,
With matchless beauty crowned
And manly hearts to guard the fair.
Rule! Britannia!
Britannia rules the waves!
Britons never will be slaves!
Rule! Britannia!
Britannia rules the waves!
Britons never will be slaves!
