Esperanto Translation

Dio protektu nian gracan Reĝinon,
Vivu nian nobla Reĝino,
Dio protektu la Reĝinon;
Ŝin venkigu,
Feliĉigu kaj glorigu,
Por ke ŝi regnu nin longtempe;
Dio protektu la Reĝinon.

Ho Sinjoro, nia Dio, leviĝu,
Apartiĝu ŝiajn malamikojn,
Kaj faliĝu ilin.
Konfuzu iliajn politikojn,
Malhelpu siajn kanajlajn ruzojn,
Je Vi ni afiŝas niajn esperojn:
Dio savu nin ĉiujn.

Viajn plej bonajn donojn rezervitajn,
Sur ŝin bonvole verŝu;
Ŝi regnu longtempe;
Ŝi defendu niajn leĝojn
Kaj ĉiam donu al nin kaŭzon
Por kanti kun koro kaj voĉo
Dio protektu la Reĝinon.

In Canada, they sing this song with this accessional verse:

Our loved Dominion bless
With peace and happiness
From shore to shore;
And let our Empire be
Loyal, united, free
True to herself and Thee
( God save the Queen.  /  Forever more. )

하느님께서 자비로운 우리 여왕을 보듬으시기를 바라노니,
고귀하신 여왕페하의 만수무강을 비노니,
하느님께서 자비로운 우리 여왕을 보듬으시로다!
그에게 승리와 행복과 영광을 안기노니,
오래도록 우리 위에 다스리기를 비노니,
하느님깨서 자비로운 우리 여왕을 보듬으시로다!

오, 우리들의 주님께서 일어나사
우리의 원수(South Jorean)/원쑤(North Korean)들을 무찌르시고  
곧(SK)/인차(NK) 그들을 멸망에 이끄시길 비나이다!
저들의 악한 속임수를 꺾어주시고
저들의 책략 또한 헛되게 만드시는
주님의 은혜 아래 우리의 소망을 마음속에 맡기리라.
하느님께사 자비로운 우리 여왕을 보듬으시로다!

하느님이시여, 주님께서 담아두신 선물을
여왕의 머리 위에 기름같이 부어주시어
여왕이 오래도록 우리 위에 다스리기를 비옵니다!
권위로서 법을 지키도록 도와주시고
또 늘 저희에게 마음과 목소리로 노래부를 수 있게 도와주소서.
하느님께서 자비로운 우리 여왕을 보듬으시로다.

*(n)yeowang--<Queen>: About over 100 years ago, the Korean peninsula used to pronounce "nyeowang," but the South Korean area changed pronunciation as "yeowang" without "n." Not only this pronunciation, but also "ryeogwan--<Inn>" is also replace with "yeogwan" in South Korea; this pronounciation rule is called as the Initial Sound System. However, this Initial Sound System is not accepted in North Korea. That's why the North Koreans still keep the original pronunciation.

*weon(s)u--Enemy: The purpose of using the languge is mainly delivering ideological propaganda in North Korea; the standard North korean accent also sounds strong in this reason. For example. "weonsu" issoftly pronounced in South korea, but "weonssu" is strongly pronounced for emphasising in North Korea

"got/incha--Immedately: "Got" is a word mainly used in South Korea. "Incha" is used in North Korea, but most South Koreans don't know this word.  

I've noticed for some time that, the official words notwithstanding, British (or more usually, English) crowds invariably sing "God save our Queen" instead of "God save the Queen" in lines 3 and 7.

I had put this down to football-supporter-type ignorance, but yesterday I heard a recording of the Northern Ireland political leader, the Rev. Ian Paisley, singing the anthem -- and he too sang "God save our Queen". I would have thought that he, if anybody, would have been a stickler for getting it right!

Loath as I am to bow to the crowd, is it now perhaps time to recognize "the facts on the ground" and change the official text?

This verse, according to Rafal Heydel-Mankoo of ICS Canada,  was added to the British Anthem during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1746, but it stopped being used once the rebels had been duly crushed." For obvious reasons it no longer forms part of the anthem.

Interestingly, although 'God Save the King' became the Anthem in the Hanoverian era, it was actually first used as a patriotic tune by the Stuart Jacobites during their battles against the Hanoverians. (The Jacobite/Stuart version had existed for at least fifty years prior to this.) The Hanoverian verse (which became the National Anthem) was first sung in public in September 1745 in a London theatre. The audience leapt to their feet and demanded encores. Here is what they heard:

God Save our Noble King
God Save Great George Our King
God Save the King!
Send him Victorious
Happy and Glorious
Long to Reign over us
God Save the King!

You wouldn't know it by some of the discussion out there.  Even now, more than 250 years later, I've heard it said and written many many times that "God Save the Queen" isn't an acceptable anthem in Scotland "because of that 'rebellious Scots to crush' stuff."

I guess this is a byproduct of the anthem not officially being proclaimed and the words being a matter of tradition.  While that verse traditionally isn't sung, it is still out there and hasn't been codified out because nothing's been codified in yet.

I have a question : does anyone know a good source about the origin of this anthem ? I was asked if it was a french song adopted as the British anthem, or if it is a true British song, which some French claimed the authorship.

Here are the Finnish lyrics performed when a king reigns.
