"And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda" is a song written by Scottish-born Australian singer-songwriter Eric Bogle in 1971. The song describes war as futile and gruesome, while criticising those who seek to glorify it. This is exemplified in the song by the account of a young Australian serviceman who is maimed during the Gallipoli Campaign of the First World War. The protagonist, who had travelled across rural Australia before the war, is emotionally devastated by the loss of his legs in battle. As the years pass he notes the death of other veterans, while the younger generation becomes apathetic to the veterans and their cause. At its conclusion, the song incorporates the melody and a few lines of lyrics of the 1895 song "Waltzing Matilda" by Australian poet Banjo Paterson.

  • And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda je píseň, kterou v roce 1971 napsal australský autor skotského původu . Píseň popisuje tragédii australských a novozélandských vojáků (Australských a novozélandských armádních sborů – ANZAC), kteří padli během vylodění v zálivu Suvla v rámci bitvy o Gallipoli na začátku první světové války. Pravděpodobně nejznámější interpretace písně pochází od irské skupiny The Pogues a jejího zpěváka Shane MacGowana. (cs)
