Anthem of the British Hong Kong (1841-1997): "God Save The Queen"

- God Save the Queen" (alternatively "God Save the King" depending on the gender of the reigning monarch) is the national or royal anthem in most Commonwealth realms, their territories and the British Crown dependencies.[1][2] Members of the Commonwealth of Nations which are not a Commonwealth realm either do not have a royal anthem or have a different one, e.g. Malaysia. The author of the tune is unknown, and it may originate in plainchant; but an attribution to the composer John Bull is sometimes made.
"God Save the Queen" is the de facto national anthem of the United Kingdom and one of two national anthems used by New Zealand since 1977, as well as for several of the UK's territories that have their own additional local anthem. It is also the royal anthem - played specifically in the presence of the monarch - of the aforementioned countries, as well as Australia (since 1984), Canada (since 1980),[3] and most other Commonwealth realms. An exception is Barbados, where the national anthem is played instead.
In countries not previously part of the British Empire, the tune of "God Save the Queen" has provided the basis for various patriotic songs, though still generally connected with royal ceremony.[4] The melody continues to be used for the national anthem of Liechtenstein, "Oben am jungen Rhein", and the royal anthem of Norway, "Kongesangen". In the United States, the melody is used for the patriotic song "My Country, 'Tis of Thee" (also known as "America"). The melody was also used for the national anthem 'Heil dir im Siegerkranz' of the German Empire from 1871 to 1918 and as "The Prayer of Russians", the imperial anthem of Russia from 1816 to 1833.
Beyond its first verse, which is consistent, "God Save the Queen/King" has many historic and extant versions. Since its first publication, different verses have been added and taken away and, even today, different publications include various selections of verses in various orders.[5] In general, only one verse is sung. Sometimes two verses are sung, and on rare occasions, three.[1]
The sovereign and her or his spouse are saluted with the entire composition,[6] while other members of the royal family who are entitled to royal salute (such as the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge along with their spouses) receive just the first six bars. The first six bars also form all or part of the Vice Regal Salute in some Commonwealth realms other than the UK (e.g., in Canada, governors general and lieutenant governors at official events are saluted with the first six bars of "God Save the Queen" followed by the first four and last four bars of "O Canada"), as well as the salute given to governors of British overseas territories.
Lyrics:
God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queen!
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the Queen!
O Lord our God arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall:
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.
Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause,
To sing with heart and voice,
God save the Queen!

I was expecting a Cantonese version but this is still good
Cantonese version: 個個揸住個兜🤣🤣🤣
just for fun
Same

@@angustse9410 Most popular Cantonese version in the old days !
The classic monarchist internationale.
Literally, every monarchy gotta have a translated version
True facts tho, never realized that it was indeed the classic monarchist internationale of the monarchist world tho...
god save the tsar, god save the king, god save the tenno, god save the sultan, god save the emperor
@@user-bk4tv5vi2q I think there would be no "God save the tenno" because in Shinto, they believe that the emperor himself as God. Even tenno itself means "Heavenly Super Person".
@@user-bk4tv5vi2qGod save the Kaiser 🇩🇪 😊😊😊
As a Hong Konger, this hit me deeply.
How did Hong Kong end up after the handover to china?
@@Koch2289 Economically, it is good as it continues to serve as the financial hub. Although this might change soon, as the chinese government has broken its promise to keep the city free and it is impossible to criticise the government anymore.
Could rebellions strengthen and therefore keep its way? Or in matter of fact become a actual independent country.
@@Koch2289 No way, the CCP will never allow Hong Kong to be independent
@@taro7145 so the rebellions are powerless.
Her Majesty Queen of Hongkong pased away. God bless Her.
God Save the Queen! God Save Hong Kong!!!
may god bring unluckyness to the queen and entire of she's country

The Guilty Lean proper English before criticising the country that invented English.

I Miss this song so much
British Hong Kong. I loved the most. *God Save the Queen* .
- greetings from the Federal Kingdom of Lavendelle!
Why no French Songs? It's French National Day!
@ Nope. A nation from the *Alternative Universe* . (From the lands of the Philippines, Taiwan and Southern China in real life).
Gives me a reminder of growing up in British Hong Kong in the 80s , but now I am an American, this anthem is the same as my country it’s of ther
This version is so catchy
Oh! He's back! I'm so obsessed with your videos!
Gay
The English returned Hong Kong to the Wrong China. The ROC is the rightful heir of China if you trace the line from chaing Kai shek to Sun Yat Sen
Yup, both Hong Kong and Macau should have been returned to the ROC government based in Taiwan.
Yeah, if that had happened, China would have invaded Taiwan to take them back… not exactly helpful
@@paradoxmo practically speaking but ethically and morally, Hong Kong belongs to the ROC 🇹🇼
@@serniebanders2858 I’m Taiwanese, I think some people have very unrealistic idealized ideas about our government, we weren’t even a democracy until 1996. Life in Taiwan wasn’t as bad as it was in China maybe, but we still had dictators. Things are a lot better now.
Few people in Taiwan care about being the “real China”, we just want other countries to let us become the “real Taiwan”.
@@paradoxmoI understand everyone just wants to be left alone. The people of your country are unified as a people against an oppressor who wants to take your freedom from you. As long as the spirit of liberty burn in your people the Taiwanese ppl, authoritarianism will never succeed
Still missing Her Majesty The Queen! This just reminded me even more of something BIG missing in 2024.
Can you please do Military Bands Destroy Anthems part 5?

But now Hong Kong isn't happy either. China doesn't seem to treat her people well particularly those of Christian and Islamic faith. May God have mercy on us.
The most intense part is at the very end.
