There'll Always Be An England

Tekst: Hugh Charles - Kendteste sanger: Vera Lynn
Fra: 1940

Tyske bombefly over England
There'll be bluebirds over
The white cliffs of Dover,
Tomorrow
Just you wait and see.
We'll meet again
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day
Up to mighty London came an Irish-
man one day,
as the street are paved with gold
sure ev’ryone was gay;
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
t'is I'll be there in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.
Up to mighty London came an Irish-
man one day,
as the street are paved with gold
sure ev’ryone was gay;
In a quaint Italian garden
While the stars were all aglow
Once I heard a lover singing
Møde hvad der venter os,
og ingen véd hvordan det går.
Bære skæbnen uden trods,
hvad der så forestår.
To be or not to be
that's the question
but not to me,
I 1940 kæmpede England, i Slaget om England, for at undgå at blive besat.

Nederst kan en smuk fremførelse høres, med billeder fra Slaget om England.
I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen.
I give you a toast, ladies and gentlemen.
May this fair dear land we love so well
In dignity and freedom dwell.
Though worlds may change and go awry
While there is still one voice to cry - - -


There'll always be an England
8While there's a country lane,
Wherever there's a cottage small
Beside a field of grain.
There'll always be an England
While there's a busy street,
Wherever there's a turning wheel,
A million marching feet.


Red, white and blue; what does it mean to you?
Surely you're proud, shout it aloud,
"Britons, awake!"
The empire too, we can depend on you.
Freedom remains. These are the chains
Nothing can break.


There'll always be an England,
And England shall be free
If England means as much to you
As England means to me.
