''Meda Dau Doka'' or ''God Bless Fiji'' is the national anthem of Fiji. The melody was adapted from a 1911 hymn by Charles Austin Miles entitled ''Dwelling in Beulah Land''. The lyrics and music were composed by Michael Francis Alexander Prescott and adopted upon independence in 1970. The English and Fijian lyrics are not translations of each other, and in fact have very little in common. ==English lyrics== Blessing grant oh God of nations on the isles of Fiji As we stand united under noble banner blue And we honour and defend the cause of freedom ever Onward march together God bless Fiji CHORUS: For Fiji, ever Fiji, let our voices ring with pride For Fiji, ever Fiji, her name hail far and wide, A land of freedom, hope and glory, to endure what ever befall May God bless Fiji Forever more! Blessing grant, oh God of nations, on the isles of Fiji Shores of golden sand and sunshine, happiness and song Stand united, we of Fiji, fame and glory ever Onward march together God bless Fiji. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「God Bless Fiji」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
