統治吧,不列顛尼亞!

統治吧,不列顛尼亞!()是英國的一首愛國歌曲。歌詞取自詹姆斯·湯姆森的同名詩作,由托馬斯·阿恩於1740年作曲。「不列顛尼亞」是不列顛的拉丁语旧称表达形式。

BBC每年舉辦的逍遙音樂會最後一個晚上通常都會演奏這首曲子。

原诗
歌詞
:When Britain fi-i-irst, at heaven's command,
:Aro-o-o-ose from out the a-a-a-zure main,
:Arose, arose from out the a-azure main,
:This was the charter, the charter of the land,
:And guardian A-a-angels sang this strain:
:[Rule Britannia!
:Britannia rule the waves
:Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.]
:

:The nations, no-o-o-o-ot so blest as thee,
: Must i-i-i-i-in their turn, to ty-y--yrants fall,
: Must in, must in, must in their turn, to ty-y-rants fall,
: While thou shalt flourish, shalt flourish great and free,
: The dread and e-e-e-e-nvy of them all.
: [Rule Britannia!
: Britannia rule the waves.
: Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.]
:

: Still more maje-e-estic shalt thou rise,
: More dre-e-e-e-eadful from each foreign stroke,
: More dreadful, dreadful from each foreign stroke,
: As the loud blast, the blast that tears the skies
: Serves but to ro-o-o-ot thy native oak.
: [Rule, Britannia!
: Britannia, rule the waves.
: Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.]
