Description[?]:
| There has been a great deal of debate regarding the national anthem. While we see nothing inherently wrong with the current anthem, we support the spirit of changing the anthem to reflect the new leadership and direction of the nation. However, we feel that the new anthem should be something that all citizens can actually stand up and sing at national events. To that end, we propose the following: http://www.coolcanuckaward.ca/i_am_canadian.htm |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: HYMN TO THE COMMONWEALTH 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 Commonwealth, 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! Long live for 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.)
