New nation, new anthem?
by hakmao, 4 November 2007
Fishheid McMoonface, when not involved in cocking up football semi-finals draws, has been flogging a two month nationalist stunt Winter Festival, which will run from 30 November to 25 January. In the event that the admirer of romanticised feudalist bullshit and his cronies succeed in freeing themselves of the yoke of competition with their southern counterparts, this song has all the prerequisites of a perfect nationalist anthem.
| Cha b’e sneachda ’san reothadh bho thuath Cha b’e crannadh geur fuar bho’n ear Cha b’e ‘n uisge ’san gailleon bho’n iar Ach an galair a bhlen bho’n deas Blath, duileach stoc agus freumh Canan mo threubh ’s mo shluaidh |
‘Twas not the snow and frost from the north ‘Twas not the bitterly cold wind from the east ‘Twas not the rain and the storms from the west But the blight from the south That withered the blossom, the foliage, the trunk and the root Of the language of my clan and my race |
