Fiji Day, 2009

Almost forgot! 10th October is Fiji Day, so Happy Birthday Fiji.

And for all those folk who want to sing along, let's see if we can find our National Anthem on youtube:

Oh, there's several. Here's Waisale Serevi, our greatest sporting hero, letting rip, so let's go with that one.




And if you want to sing along, here's the music:



And here are the lyrics:

GOD BLESS FIJI

Blessing grant oh God of nations on the isles of Fiji
As we stand united under noble banner blue
And we honour and defend the cause of freedom ever
Onward march together
God bless Fiji

CHORUS:
For Fiji, ever Fiji, let our voices ring with pride
For Fiji, ever Fiji, her name hail far and wide,
A land of freedom, hope and glory, to endure what ever befall
May God bless Fiji
Forever more!

Blessing grant, oh God of nations, on the isles of Fiji
Shores of golden sand and sunshine, happiness and song
Stand united, we of Fiji, fame and glory ever
Onward march together


And for a modern take on it:
