Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Stand up, all victims of oppression, For the tyrants fear your might! Don't cling so hard to your possessions, For you have nothing if you have no rights! Let racist ignorance be ended, For respect makes the empires fall! Freedom is merely privilege extended, Unless enjoyed by one and all. So come brothers and sisters, For the struggle carries on. The Internationale, Unites the world in song. So comrades, come rally, For this is the time and place! The international ideal, Unites the human race. Let no one build walls to divide us, Walls of hatred nor walls of stone. Come greet the dawn and stand beside us, We'll live together or we'll die alone. In our world poisoned by exploitation, Those who have taken, now they must give! And end the vanity of nations, We've but one Earth on which to live. So come brothers and sisters, For the struggle carries on. The Internationale, Unites the world in song. So comrades, come rally, For this is the time and place! The international ideal, Unites the human race. And so begins the final drama, In the streets and in the fields. We stand unbowed before their armor, We defy their guns and shields! When we fight, provoked by their aggression, Let us be inspired by life and love. For though they offer us concessions, Change will not come from above! So come brothers and sisters, For the struggle carries on. The Internationale, Unites the world in song. So comrades, come rally, For this is the time and place! The Internationale, Unites the human race.
Current:
| In die songloed van ons somer, in ons winternag se kou, In die lente van ons liefde, in die lanfer van ons rou, By die klink van huweliksklokkies, by die kluitklap op die kis — Streel jou stem ons nooit verniet nie, weet jy waar jou kinders is. Op jou roep sê ons nooit nee nie, sê ons altyd ja da kan! Om te lewe, om te sterwe - ja, ons kom Seridjan! Op U Almag vas vertrouend het ons vadere gebou: Skenk ook ons die krag, o Here! om te handhaaf en te hou — Dat die erwe van ons vad're vir ons kinders erwe bly: Knegte van die Allerhoogste, teen die hele wêreld vry. Soos ons vadere vertrou het, leer ook ons vertrou, o Heer — Met ons land en met ons nasie sal dit wel wees, God regeer. |
Proposed:
| All hail, Saridan, hail! All hail, Saridan, hail! This glorious land of liberty Shall long be ours. Though new her name, Green be her fame, And mighty be her powers, And mighty be her powers, In joy and gladness With our hearts united, We\'ll shout the freedom Of a race benighted, Long live Saridan, happy land! A home of glorious liberty, By God\'s command! A home of glorious liberty, By God\'s command! All hail, Saridan, hail! All hail, Saridan, hail! In union strong success is sure We cannot fail! With God above Our rights to prove We will o\'er all prevail, We will o\'er all prevail, With heart and hand Our country\'s cause defending We\'ll meet the foe With valour unpretending. Long live Saridan, happy land! A home of glorious liberty, By God\'s command! A home of glorious liberty, By God\'s command! |
