Summarizing the lyrics of national anthems in one sentence is fun

🇺🇸: Our flag is awesome and you cannot destroy it or us

🇨🇦: We really, really, REALLY love Canada

🇫🇷: Fellow citizens, gather your arms to murder the invaders

🇬🇧: We would like god to help out the richest man in the country

@designatednerd wait, the french anthem is directed at invaders? I thought it was directed at the sitting nobility
@gkrnours it’s more obvious in the later verses (that are never sung) that it’s about invaders and not the nobility, but I’m sure folks enjoy the main bit’s dual purpose
