Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Along the shore the cloud waves break The twin suns sink beneath the lake The shadow lengthen In Carcosa Strange is the night where black stars rise And strange moons circle through the skies But stranger still is Lost Carcosa Songs that the Hyades shall sing Where flap the tatters of the King Must die unsung in Dim Carcosa Song of my soul, my voice is dead Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed Shall dry and die in Lost Carcosa
Current:
(Kunikata): 海ゆかば 水漬く屍 山ゆかば 草生す屍 帝の 辺にこそ死なめ 返り見はせじ (Sekowan): 海ゆかば 水漬ちゅる屍 山いかー 草生する屍 帝ぬ 辺んかいどぅ死なめい けーいんーじぇーさじ (Luthorian): If I go far away to the sea I shall leave my bones there If I go far away to the mountains I shall leave my bones there Without one regret I shall sacrifice for His Majesty And for my fatherland (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfBebI2oFp4) |
Proposed:
My country, 'tis of thee, Sweet land of liberty, Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrims' pride, From every mountainside Let freedom ring! My native country, thee, Land of the noble free, Thy name I love; I love thy rocks and rills, Thy woods and templed hills; My heart with rapture thrills, Like that above. Let music swell the breeze, And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom's song; Let mortal tongues awake; Let all that breathe partake; Let rocks their silence break, The sound prolong. Our father's Gods to Thee, Authors of liberty, To Thee we sing. Long may our land be bright, With freedom's holy light, Protect us by Thy might, Great Gods our Rulers. |
