Australia is the only anthem who mentions how girt we are

    I think more boobs would be good in most national anthems

    one of the iterations of Ukraine's national anthem lyrics from early 20th century had blood mentioned in the context of dark past history of wars and occupation and how our people persist in spite of everything. that bit wasn't in the original poem and its musical adaptation which was about glorious past and wishful bright future. then there was late 20th iteration that replaced that bit with a bloody battle going from the river San to river Don. San and Don rivers were previously mentioned as abstract furthest points of slavic people agglomeration. That version also mentions river Dnipro in a different part and calls it Granpa Dnipro.

    Does this imply that some anthems ironically mention boobs?

    The Austrian anthem doesn't mention blood anywhere. It mentions "heart", as in "in the heart of Europe"

    Yep, unless they count Austrias "secret anthem" by Reinhardt Fendrich - I am from Austria, which references blood.

    Oh, you mean they knew the real anthem? ;) The one people actually know the lyrics to.

    I always find it funny when the far right voters are singing it whole hartedly.

    I really do not like austropop (outside of the EAV, courtesy of my childhood), but even i know those lyrics by heart.

    And yes, it is very funny - it's similar to republicans thinking Rage against the Machine became woke lol

    The only blood in the Australian national anthem is the blood dripping from my ears after listening to it

    I am much disappoint. Looking it up, I find that Brazil has four songs: the national anthem, the anthem of the republic, the flag anthem, and the anthem of independence. None of them mention boobs, and one of them does mention blood.
