Bill: National Anthem Proposal 2109
Details
Submitted by[?]: Totalitarian Party
Status[?]: passed
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: April 2110
Description[?]:
| The Totalitarian Party feels the current national anthem of Gaduridos does not do our nation justice. It attempts to be great, but sounds more like a child's nursery rhyme. Therefore, we propose this new anthem. We believe it embodies the spirit of our nation. Our citizens will no longer be ashamed to sing our national anthem at the top of their voices, and they will certainly fill with pride at the sound of it. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Gaduridos our country, Beloved, Free and True. Strong we stand United together loving you. We overcame oppressors, Poverty, Hate and Fear to build this Great Nation that we hold so dear.
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! |

| Unity, freedom and prosperity for the Gaduri land; This lets us all pursue, life with heart and hand. Unity, freedom and prosperity, are the pledge of happiness. Flourish in this nation's glory, flourish, our great land. Gaduridos, Gaduridos above all, above all that attempts to oppress us, when always, faced with hardship, we stand together as citizens.

Gaduridos, Gaduridos above all, and during disaster more than ever, only in disaster can we, show we are loyal and true; So shall our nation continue, despite vicissitude.
