[ Family name | Anthem ]
My last name, Tsuyuzaki, is not so many in Japan. Using this merit to know the origin, I started to search the meaning and origin of the last name. Regretably, all are written in Japanese.
[ Australia | Canada | New Zealand ]
Australians all let us rejoice For we are young and free We've golden soil and wealth for toil, Our home is girt by sea: Our land abounds in nature's gifts Of beauty rich and rare, In history's page let every stage |
Advance Australia fair, In joyful strains then let us sing Advance Australia fair. Beneath our radiant Southern Cross, We'll toil with hearts and hands, To make this Commonwealth of ours |
Renowned of all the lands, For those who've come across the seas We've boundless plains to share, With courage let us all combine To advance Australia fair. In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Australia fair. |
I came from the dream-time, from the dusty red soil plains
We are one, but we are many
I came upon the prison ship, bowed down by iron chains.
We are one, but we are many
I'm the daughter of a digger who sought the mother lode |
We are one, but we are many
I'm a teller of stories, I'm a singer of songs
We are one, but we are many
I'm the hot wind from the desert, I'm the black soil of the plains
We are one, but we are many |
O Canada! |
HISTORY"O CANADA" was proclaimed Canada's national anthem on July 1 1980, a century after it was first sung on June 24, 1880. The music was composed by Calixa Lavall, a well-known composer; French lyrics to accompany the music were written by Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier. The song gained steadily in popularity. Many English versions have appeared over the years. The version on which the official English lyrics are based was written in 1908 by Mr. Justice Robert Stanley Weir. The official English version includes changes recommended in 1968 by a Special Joint Committee of the Senate and House of Commons. The French lyrics remain unaltered. |
Lacco un po MattoLento va,Il tempo, fredd-e grigio, In un vestito che, Bavero rialzato, copre la citta, Strade, case, gatti neri, Un'auto va, Corre, frena i suoi pensieri, Corre e va. Scacchi tutti bianchi, Tu regina nera del re, Scacco, scacco, scacco un po matto Scacchi tutti neri, Tu re bianco dei doveri, Scacco, scacco, scacco un pomatto. |
