豊かな時も、いざという時も(In Plenty and In Time of Need)は、バルバドスの国歌。Irving Burgieが作詞し、C. Van Roland Edwardsが作曲して、1966年に制定された[1]。 。1966年まではバルバドスは西インド連邦に属していたため、西インド連邦国歌であるForged from the Love of Libertyを使用していたが、連邦解体とともにこの曲はトリニダード・トバゴが引き継いでトリニダード・トバゴの国歌となり、バルバドスはこの曲を国歌に制定した。
歌詞[編集]
In plenty and in time of need
When this fair land was young
Our brave forefathers sowed the seed
From which our pride was sprung
A pride that makes no wanton boast
Of what it has withstood
That binds our hearts from coast to coast
The pride of nationhood
Chorus:
We loyal sons and daughters all
Do hereby make it known
These fields and hills beyond recall
Are now our very own
We write our names on history's page
With expectations great
Strict guardians of our heritage
Firm craftsmen of our fate
The Lord has been the people's guide
For past three hundred years.
With Him still on the people's side
We have no doubts or fears.
Upward and onward we shall go,
Inspired, exulting, free,
And greater will our nation grow
In strength and unity.
(Chorus)
