Australians, given their national song is about stealing a sheep, it's known as Waltzing Matilda, and they like to sing it at the beginning of rugby games in Australia, below are the lyrics with translations:
Once a jolly swagman [typical unemployed australian] camped by a billabong [pond]
Under the shade of a coolibah [eucalyptus] tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy [pot of water] boiled
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me"
Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance]
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me"
And he sang as he watched and waited 'til his billy [pot of water] boiled,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me".
Down came a jumbuck [sheep] to drink at that billabong [pond],
Up jumped the swagman [typical unemployed australian] and grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck [sheep] in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me".
Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance]
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me"
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck [sheep] in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me".
Up rode the squatter [farmer], mounted on his thoroughbred [horse],
Down came the troopers [police], one, two, three, [australians can't count beyond 3]
"Where's that jolly jumbuck [sheep] you've got in your tucker bag?"
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me".
Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance]
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me"
"Where's that jolly jumbuck [sheep] you've got in your tucker bag?",
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me".
Up jumped the swagman [typical unemployed australian] and sprang into the billabong [pond],
"You'll never catch me alive", said he,
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong [pond],
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me".
Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance]
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me"
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by that billabong [pond],
"You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me."
"Oh, You'll come a-Waltzing Matilda [romantic australian dance], with me."
So there you have it, the Australian national song is basically about an unemployed Aussie who stole a sheep with romantic intentions, was caught by the local cops, and killed himself in a fit of romantic depression and not being able to get his jollies with his beloved sheep.
In New Zealand we have the haka:
