You're Welsh and you know you are is always a classic. I bet that really gets to them every time they hear it.
They are Welsh though so that makes no sense. Singing it to Bristol is a lot funnier.
Nope.
Issssssss the correct answer.

Excellent post
Like this................... and it celebrates wine, women and song
Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt,
Wenn es stets zu Schutz und Trutze
Brüderlich zusammenhält,
Von der Maas bis an die Memel,
Von der Etsch bis an den Belt -
Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Über alles in der Welt.
Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue,
Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang
Sollen in der Welt behalten
Ihren alten schönen Klang,
Uns zu edler Tat begeistern
Unser ganzes Leben lang.
Deutsche Frauen, deutsche Treue,
Deutscher Wein und deutscher Sang
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
für das deutsche Vaterland!
Danach lasst uns alle streben
Brüderlich mit Herz und Hand!
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
Sind des Glückes Unterpfand;
Blüh' im Glanze dieses Glückes,
Blühe, deutsches Vaterland.
Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,*
Und im Unglück nun erst recht.
Nur im Unglück kann die Liebe
Zeigen, ob sie stark und echt.
Und so soll es weiterklingen
Von Geschlechte zu Geschlecht:
Deutschland, Deutschland über alles,
Und im Unglück nun erst recht.

The most curious thing..
..and for those not familiar with the language of the FATHERLAND
Germany, Germany above everything,
Above everything in the world,
When it always for protection and defense
Together as brothers
From the Meuse to the Memel,
From the Adige to the Belt -
Germany, Germany above everything,
Above everything in the world.
German women, German loyalty,
German wine and German song
Shall retain in the world
Their old sound,
To inspire us to noble deeds
Our whole life.
German women, German loyalty,
German wine and German song
Unity and justice and freedom
for the German fatherland!
Then let us all strive
Brotherly with heart and hand!
Unity and justice and freedom
Are the pledge of fortune;
Flourish in this blessing,
Flourish, German fatherland.
Germany, Germany above all, *
And in misfortune all the more.
Only in misfortune can love
Show whether they are strong and true.
And so it should ring
From race to race:
Germany, Germany above everything,
And in misfortune all the more.
....google translate so possibly not entirely accurate, but you get the idea
Even better.....

Why can't we just sing Jerusalem....more English than GSTQ.
I refuse to sing GSTQ being a republican.

If we are doing foreign language anthems, is this of any help?
Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.
Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.
Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bardd,
Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn, i'm golwg sydd hardd;
Trwy deimlad gwladgarol, mor swynol yw si
Ei nentydd, afonydd, i mi.
Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad.
Tra môr yn fur i'r bur hoff bau,
O bydded i'r hen iaith barhau.
Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad tan ei droed,
Mae hen iaith y Cymry mor fyw ag erioed,
Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad,
Na thelyn berseiniol fy ngwlad.

Maybe, but we're not cockney wankers.
