Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Arise, ye workers from your slumber, Arise, ye prisoners of want. For reason in revolt now thunders, and at last ends the age of cant! Away with all your superstitions, Servile masses, arise, arise! We'll change henceforth the old tradition, And spurn the dust to win the prize! So comrades, come rally, And the last fight let us face. The Internationale, Unites the human race. So comrades, come rally, And the last fight let us face. The Internationale, Unites the human race. No more deluded by reaction, On tyrants only we'll make war! The soldiers too will take strike action, They'll break ranks and fight no more! And if those cannibals keep trying, To sacrifice us to their pride, They soon shall hear the bullets flying, We'll shoot the generals on our own side. So comrades, come rally, And the last fight let us face. The Internationale, Unites the human race. So comrades, come rally, And the last fight let us face. The Internationale, Unites the human race. No saviour from on high delivers, No faith have we in prince or peer. Our own right hand the chains must shiver, Chains of hatred, greed and fear. E'er the thieves will out with their booty, And to all give a happier lot. Each at his forge must do their duty, And we'll strike the iron while it's hot. So comrades, come rally, And the last fight let us face. The Internationale, Unites the human race. So comrades, come rally, And the last fight let us face. The Internationale, Unites the human race.
Current:
| (To the tune of "El Pueblo Unido" Egelian: ¡Los Gaduri unidos nunca serán derrotados! ¡Los Gaduri unidos nunca serán derrotados! Levántate para que prevalezcamos, Avanzaron ahora las banderas de la unidad, Marchando juntos en unida armonía, Y así verás, El pueblo Gaduri prospera. La luz de un nuevo amanecer, Ya anunciando la nueva vida por venir. Levántate, marcha, los Gaduri triunfarán, Y la nueva vida por venir será mejor. Para asegurar nuestra felicidad, Y en un clamor, Se alzarán mil voces de lucha, Para defender la libertad de Gaduridos, Con determinación, la patria prevalecerá. Y ahora la gente, Quien se levantó para defender la libertad, Con la fuerza de muchos, Gritando: ¡Adelante! ¡Los Gaduri unidos nunca serán derrotados! ¡Los Gaduri unidos nunca serán derrotados! De norte a sur, La patria está forjando la unidad. De los bosques del norte, A la costa sur, Unidos en la lucha y la libertad, Van uniendo la patria, Sus pasos anunciando un nuevo futuro. Levántate para que prevalezcamos, Millones ahora están unidos en armonía, Su ardiente defensa de la libertad, Toma en sus manos Justicia y razón. El pueblo de fuego y valor, Están aquí junto a la libertad. Y ahora la gente, Quien se levantó para defender la libertad, Con la fuerza de muchos, Gritando: ¡Adelante! ¡Los Gaduri unidos nunca serán derrotados! ¡Los Gaduri unidos nunca serán derrotados! Luthorian: The Gaduri united will never be defeated! The Gaduri united will never be defeated! Arise, so that we may prevail, Advancing now are the banners of unity, Marching together in united harmony, And so you will see, The Gaduri people prosper. The light of a new dawn, Already announcing the new life to come. Arise, march, the Gaduri will triumph, And the new life to come will be better. To ensure our happiness, And in a clamor, A thousand fighting voices will rise, To defend the liberty of Gaduridos, With determination, the fatherland will prevail. And now the people, Who rose up to defend liberty, With the strength of many, Shouting: Forward! The Gaduri united will never be defeated! The Gaduri united will never be defeated! From north to south, The fatherland is forging unity. From the northern forests, To the southern coast, United in struggle and freedom, They go uniting the fatherland, Their steps announcing a new future. Arise, so that we may prevail, Millions now are united in harmony, Their fiery defense of liberty, Take in their hands, Justice and reason. The people of fire and valor, Are here alongside freedom. And now the people, Who rose up to defend liberty, With the strength of many, Shouting: Forward! The Gaduri united will never be defeated! The Gaduri united will never be defeated! |
Proposed:
| Sound the call for freedom boys, and sound it far and wide, March along to victory, for God is on our side, While the voice of nature thunders o'er the rising tide: "God gave the land to the people." Chorus The land, the land, 'Twas God who made the land, The land, the land, The ground on which we stand, Why should we be beggars With a ballot in our hand? God gave the land to the people. Hark! The sound is spreading from the east and from the west! Why should we work hard and let the landlords take the best? Make them pay their taxes on the land just like the rest! The land was meant for the people. Chorus Clear the way for liberty, the land must all be free, None of us shall falter from the fight tho' stern shall be. 'Til the flag we love so well shall fly from sea to sea, O'er the land that is free for the people. Chorus The army now is marching on, the battle to begin, The standard now is raised on high to face the battle din, We'll never cease from fighting 'til the victory we win, And the land is free for the people. Chorus |
