Proposed:
HYMN TO THE FEDERATED STATES 1. O Rutania, for ever you're strong sacred country! O Rutania, for ever the land that we love! The glory that's great and the will that is mighty - So be they thy virtue for ages to come. CHORUS Praised be the Federated States, cherishing home of ours - Cent'ries-old union of peoples in free, Popular wisdom given us by forefathers. Praised be our country! And we're proud of thee! 2. From seas in the West and to Artania's borders Our woods and our meadows have stretched far away. Alone in the whole world, you stand one and only! By God saved as ever our dear native land. CHORUS 3. For generous dreaming, for living and longing The years approaching give us ample scope. With faith in our Homeland we are getting stronger. It was so, it is so and it will be so! (To the tones of the Hymn of the Russian Federation, music by Alexandr Vasilievich Alexandrov.) |

Message | "God" would refer to any deity you believe in, or in the metaphysical force you believe, or if you're an atheist it means nothing. I don't really mind that reference, it's better to have a national anthem than not having a national anthem at all. Besides, the music's nice. |
Date | 22:10:04, July 28, 2005 CET | From | RSDP - Democratic Front | To | Debating the National Anthem Proposal 2086 |
Message | Or, if this doesn't pass, I could scratch that reference and replace it with something else. |
