« Mirror, Mirror | Main | Thy History is An Epic of the Most Brilliant Exploits»

Perdu Dans La Traduction

I'm sure all of you have played the online translation game, where you take some text in English (to maximize entertainment value, I recommend song lyrics), translate them into another language using an online translation service, then translate them back into English. It's good clean fun.

Bored, I did something a little different using Google Translate (with a little help). Can anyone guess what the song below is, and how I got it?

Ground of our forbearers,
Your face east girds glorious florets.

Because your arm can carry the sword,
It can carry the cross.
Your history is epic,
more brilliant exploits.

And your value,
from soaked faith,
Will protect our homes and our rights.
Will protect our homes and our rights.

I may be wrong but I think this is a national anthem. By some freakish chance that I'm correct, could this be 'O, Canada'?
