Bill: A New Anthem for a New Indrala
Details
Submitted by[?]: Feudal Socialist Revolutionary Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: January 2444
Description[?]:
| In recent years, Indrala has gone through an unstable period. With the rivalries between socialist and capitalist and between religious and secular, with high-profile trials and political turmoil, our nation could well tear itself apart. What we need to remember now more than ever is that despite all of our differences, we are still Indralan. This is why we propose this new national anthem, which await the day when Indrala stands together in unity and peace. We hope to unite the varying factions behind this new Indralan anthem today and that one day, together, we can all unite behind a new, stronger, and freer Indrala. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Indrala, Indrala, blessed isle in the sea, Land of strength and liberty, From the mountains to the sea, A land beautiful and free, Indrala, Indrala, defended by the sea, Let no Indralan yield an inch, Let every citizen stand firm, To defend our beloved homeland, Indrala, we fight for you
Current:
(Yingdalan Version) 武宗在上、於昭于天。 武雖舊宗、其命維新。 有武不顯、帝命不時。 武宗陟降、在帝左右。 (Luthorian Version) The House of Wu is on high, Oh! Bright is it in Heaven. Although the Wu are an old clan, Heaven favored it only recently. Illustrious is the House of Wu, And the appointment of God came at the proper time. The House of Wu ascends and descends, On the left and right hand of God. |
Proposed:
| Our blessed island of ten thousand colors Rises in glory from the endless sea! O jewel of the ocean, shining forever, Indrala, our nation, we e'er stand for thee! Chorus: Sing for Indrala, founded in freedom, A nation of liberty, our motherland! Stand firm in solidarity; defend from all foes our unity! Liberty shall triumph through Indralas mighty hand! The ancient Indralans through darkness and turmoil, Built for us our homeland, this isle in the sea! Neer shall we yield one inch of her soil, Indrala will ever stand firm and free! Chorus Our nation shall neer feel the taint of corruption; For justice and peace we shall forever stand! Whatever the forces that seek our destruction, All will find freedom and hope in our land! Chorus We live for Indralas glorious ideal, A vision of a nation where all can be free, Our homeland a free nation among free nations, A light to the world, shining oer the sea! Chorus |
