Kingdom of Italy Anthem (1922-1943; Instrumental) Giovinezza
"Giovinezza" ('"Youth"') is the official hymn of the Italian National Fascist Party and army, and was the unofficial national anthem of the Kingdom of Italy between 1924 and 1943. Although often sung with the official national anthem Marcia Reale, some sources consider Giovinezza to have supplanted the Royal March as the de facto national anthem (Inno della Patria) of Italy.
(English Lyrics / Translation)
Hail, people of heroes,
Hail, immortal Fatherland,
Your sons were born again
With the faith and the Ideal.
Your warriors' valour,
Your pioneers' virtue,
Alighieri's vision,
Today shines in every heart
Youth, Youth,
Spring of beauty,
In the hardship of life
Your song rings and goes!
And for Benito Mussolini,
Hip, hip hooray!
And for our beautiful Fatherland,
Hip, hip hooray!

(Lyrics of 1997 / Used today by the Navy)
Stand Navy out to sea, fight our battle cry!
We'll never change our course so vicious foes steer shy-y-y-y!
Roll out the TNT, anchors aweigh!
Sail on to victory, and sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray!
Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh!
Farewell to foreign Shores, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay;
Through our last night ashore, drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more, here's wishing you a happy voyage home!
Blue of the mighty deep, Gold of God's great sun;
Let these our colors be, Till All of time be done-n-n-ne;
On seven seas we learn, Navy's stern call:
Faith, courage, service true, With honor over, honor over all.

Peru National Anthem (Vocal / Estefanía Castilla Pajares) Himno Nacional del Perú
¡Somos libres! ¡seámoslo siempre!
Y antes niegue sus luces el Sol,
Que faltemos al voto solemne
Que la Patria al Eterno elevó.
Largo tiempo el peruano oprimido
La ominosa cadena arrastró
Condenado a una cruel servidumbre,
Largo tiempo en silencio gimió.
Mas apenas el grito sagrado:
¡Libertad! en sus costas se oyó,
La indolencia de esclavo sacude,
La humillada cerviz levantó.
Lima, cumple su voto solemne,
Y severa su enojo mostró,
Al tirano potente lanzando,
Que intentaba alargar su opresión.
A su esfuerzo, saltaron los hierros
Y los surcos que en sí reparó
Le atizaron el odio y venganza
Que heredó de su Inca y Señor.
Con su influjo los pueblos despiertan
Y cual rayo, corrió la opinión,
Desde el Istmo a las tierras del fuego
Desde el fuego a la helada región.
Todos juran romper el enlace,
Que Natura a ambos mundos negó,
Y quebrar ese cetro que España
Reclinaba orgullosa en los dos.
Lima, cumple su voto solemne,
Y severa su enojo mostró,
Al tirano potente lanzando,
Que intentaba alargar su opresión.
A su esfuerzo, saltaron los hierros
Y los surcos que en sí reparó
Le atizaron el odio y venganza
Que heredó de su Inca y Señor.
Compatriotas, no más verla esclava
Si humillada tres siglos gimió,
Para siempre jurémosla libre,
Manteniendo su propio esplendor
Nuestros brazos, hasta hoy desarmados,
Estén siempre cebando el cañón,
Que algún día las playas de Iberia,
Sentirán de su estruendo el terror.
Excitemos los celos de España
Pues presiente con mengua y furor
Que en concurso de grandes naciones
Nuestra patria entrará en parangón.
En la lista que de estas se forme
Llenaremos primero el renglón,
Que el tirano ambicioso Iberino,
Que la América toda asoló.
En su cima los Andes sostengan
La bandera o pendón bicolor,
Que a los siglos anuncie el esfuerzo
Que ser libres, por siempre nos dio.
A su sombra vivamos tranquilos,
Y al nacer por sus cumbres el Sol,
Renovemos el gran juramento
Que rendimos al Dios de Jacob.

Kde domov můj (English: "Where my home is") is the national anthem of the Czech Republic, written by the composer František Škroup and the playwright Josef Kajetán Tyl.
(English Lyrics / Translation)
Where my home is, where my home is,
Water roars across the meadows,
Pinewoods rustle among rocks,
The orchard is glorious with spring blossom,
Paradise on earth it is to see.
And this is that beautiful land,
The Czech land, my home,
The Czech land, my home!
Where my home is, where my home is,
If, in the heavenly land, you have met
Slender souls in spry bodies,
Of clear mind, vigorous and prospering,
And with a strength that frustrates all defiance,
That is the glorious nation of Czechs
Among the Czechs is my home!
Among the Czechs, my home!

Oh dear, heroic land,
Fatherland of ancient glory,
May you always be happy!
Dear, as much as you are glorious,
Only you are dear to us.
Dear, where your land is flat,
Dear, where it is mountainous.
Flow Sava, Drava flow,
Nor you, Danube, lose your power,
Azure sea, tell to the world
That a Croat loves his nation.
As long as sun warms his ploughed land,
As long as storms lash his oak trees,
As long as the grave hides his dead,
As long as his living heart beats!
Lyrics: Antun Mihanović, 1835
Music: Josip Runjanin, 1846

Csaba királyfi csillagösvényen!

Népek harcának zajló tengerén.
Fejünk az ár, jaj, százszor elborítja,
Ne hagyd elveszni Erdélyt, Istenünk!

Jabal Druze State Anthem (Instrumental) La Marseillaise
Jabal al-Druze (Arabic: جبل الدروز, French: Djebel Druze) was an autonomous state in the French Mandate of Syria from 1921 to 1936, designed to function as a government for the local Druze population under French oversight.
It was proclaimed as the State of Souaida, after the capital As-Suwayda, but in 1927 it was renamed Jabal al-Druze or Jabal Druze State. As a result of Syrian nationalist pressure, under the Franco-Syrian Treaty of 1936, Jabal al-Druze ceased to exist as an autonomous entity and was incorporated into Syria.

Over 't malse korenveld, 't lied des leeuweriks klinkt,
Waar de hoorn des herders schalt, langs der beekjes boord:
Daar is mijn vaderland, Limburgs dierbaar oord!
Daar is mijn vaderland, Limburgs dierbaar oord!

Where the little nightingale sings in the bronze green oak [forest],
[Where] the lay of the lark sounds over the tender cornfield,
Where the shepherd's horn echoes, along the bank of the little stream:
There is my fatherland, Limburg's dear place!
There is my fatherland, Limburg's dear place!
