National anthem -- can you sing it completely...

I can only sing the national anthem if my right hand is on my left chest. If I remove it I forget immediately. If I put it on some girls chest, that's a different story.

Yes I know both the first and third (for some reason the second is always missed out!) verses of our national anthem, I learned it at Brownies 50 years ago and never forgot it!! [i]God save our gracious Queen, long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen! Send her victorious, happy and glorious, long to reign over us, God save the Queen! Thy choicest gifts in store on her be pleased to pour, long may she reign: may she defend our laws, and ever give us cause to sing with heart and voice God save the Queen![/i]

i can sing my country's national anthem from beginning to end. i even know it in english (our national anthem is in our native language), and would love to learn the spanish version.

Well, I do know all of the words. That has to mean something. I might have to think for a couple of minutes to remember everything and I might stumble over everything. However, so many people could not remember a lot of the national anthem. So I would have to consider that a bit of a victory to be honest with you. It was one of the things that we were taught, at least at my school but its obvious that those lessons did not stick all that well. I do have the knowledge to sing it. However, the ability is another thing. I do admit that I am not the most musically gifted person in the world. So perhaps for the best that I do not try and sing. My singing could be considered to be a national offense by some people. Okay, that might be a little crazy but really its not that good. Of course, I could sing it, but not well.

yep..I can ... I'm from India & our national anthem stats..."Jana Gana Mana.....Jaya jaya jaya jaya he!" In all it takes 52 sec to sing the whole anthem... thanks for starting the discussion.... have a great day/night.....

i can sing it completely it is fixed in my heart as i will never forget it in my life . actually all must know it completely . i hope at least our friends here know it

I think I need an accompaniment, if it is not available it will take a while before i can finish the anthem.

I also know people who cannot sing their national anthem but I am not surprised because first it had to be taught in school itself and then there are people who cannot read so they cannot sing it and those who can read they are not interested to learn it.

Hi Bussybee10....... how are you today!. I think I still can sing my national anthem from beginning to the end. Here in Indonesia when we in elementary to high school we sing it every Monday. So its impossible if I can not remember. I will feel shame if I don't know my own national anthem. Have a nice day.

Hi busybee i too agree this. I can sing my national anthem. [b][i]Janaganamana adhinayaka jaya he Bharatha bhagyavidatha Punjaba sindh Gujaratha Maratha Dravida utkala banga Vindya Himachala yamuna ganga Ucchala jaladhi taranga Tava subha name jage Tava subha asisa mage Gahe tava jaya gatha Jana gana mangala dayaka jaya he Bharatha bhagyavidatha Jaya he, Jaya he, Jaya he Jaya jaya jaya jaya he Jai hind [/i] [/b] This is the song we will sing every Independence and Republic day. Also in the school we used sing every day while prayer.

I admit frankly that I do not know the anthem In our country were political changes and has changed the anthem. I know the old anthem.

I can sing it, but maybe out of tune. I learned it when I was in Grade 1 of primary school, and sang it every Monday in primary school and junior middle school, that's nine years. I think I will never forget hwo to sing it!

well the answer is that i can sing national anthem completely and i also come to know some people who cant sing it completely even some of them not learnt and they dont know what are its wording this means that they have no love for their country and they are mostly childeren of politicians i think such people must send to cold world.

I am proud to say that I can sing our national anthem here in the Philippines. I have memorized it since I was in preschool.I think that people should respect their national anthem enough to at least know it by heart. For some people, I would understand if they don't know it because they have not had any proper schooling, but for those who have gone to school they should know it.

I can sing Indian national anthem word for word, even though I don't speak Hindi. Learnt it in school. In my opinion, every citizen should know their national anthem. It is very important for sportpersons who are representing their countries and when their national anthem is played, they don't sing it along!! Whether they know it or not, I don't know. May be they just don't want to sing. When it is televised internationally, I think it is good to see sports person singing their national anthem. It just lifts the spirit. Just my opinion, though. I can mumble a little bit of England national anthem and a bit of American as well. (I am patting myself right now)
