Proposals

Article 1

Proposal^[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.

Old value:: Arise, wretched of the earth Arise, convicts of hunger Reason thunders in its volcano This is the eruption of the end Of the past let us wipe the slate clean Masses, slaves, arise, arise The world is about to change its foundation We are nothing, let us be all This is the struggle final Let us group together, and tomorrow The Internationale will be the human race There are no supreme saviours Neither God, nor Caeser, nor tribune. Producers, let us save ourselves Decree the common welfare That the thief might bear his throat, That the spirit be pulled from its prison Let us fan the forge ourselves Strike the iron while it is hot This is the struggle final Let us group together, and tomorrow The Internationale Will be the human race The state represses and the law cheats The tax bleeds the unfortunate No duty is imposed on the rich 'Rights of the poor' is a hollow phrase Enough languishing in custody Equality wants other laws: No rights without obligations, it says, And as well, no obligations without rights This is the struggle final Let us group together, and tomorrow The Internationale Will be the human race Hideous in their self-glorification Kings of the mine and rail Have they ever done anything other Than steal work? Into the coffers of that lot, What work creates has melted In demanding that they give it back The people wants only its due. This is the struggle final Let us group together, and tomorrow The Internationale Will be the human race The kings make us drunk with their fumes, Peace among ourselves, war to the tyrants! Let the armies go on strike, Guns in the air, and break ranks If these cannibals insist On making heroes of us, Soon they will know our bullets Are for our own generals This is the struggle final Let us group together, and tomorrow The Internationale Will be the human race Labourers, peasants, we are The great party of workers The earth belongs only to men The idle will go reside elsewhere How much of our flesh they feed on, But if the ravens and vultures Disappear one of these days The sun will always shine This is the struggle final Let us group together, and tomorrow The Internationale Will be the human race

Lift up your head to the eternal sun, oh Barmenian land;
March on to glory your bright banners waving high.
See how the world marks the manner of your bearing!
Pledge to excel through love and unity.

Pressing onward, march together to a common loftier goal;
Steady sunward, tho' the weather hide the wide and treachrous shoal.

Lift up your head to the shining sun, oh Barmenia,

Proposed:

All hail our Barmenian land.
Rulers of Terra,
Where beaches bright with coral sand
And trade winds bless our native land.
All hail our Barmenian land,
Bathed in waters blue,
We give our loyalty,
Full to thee,
And pledge allegiance forever true.

To thee Barmenia,
Loving voices raise
A song in the sake of brotherhood,
Where right makes might to fight for good.
To thee Barmenistan,
Haven of the free,
We sing our love to thee,
Joyously,
Our own country of liberty.

March on oh Barmenia,
In the joyful throng,
Uphold the right and right the wrong
Where only peace and love belong.
March on oh Barmenia,
Democratic land.
Together hand in hand,
Take your stand,
Forever soldiers in freedom's band.

We our Barmenia,
Humbly now we say,
Where all mankind can join today
In friendly warmth of work and play.
We love our Barmenia,
Beautiful and tall.
Beneath a sunny sky,
Hilltops high
Hold out a welcome for one and all.
