Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the Free, How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee? Wider still, and wider, shall thy bounds be set; God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet! Truth and Right and Freedom, each a holy gem, Stars of solemn brightness, weave thy diadem. Tho' thy way be darkened, still in splendour drest, As the star that trembles o'er the liquid West. Throned amid the billows, throned inviolate, Thou hast reigned victorious, thou has smiled at fate. Land of Hope and Glory, fortress of the Free, How may we extol thee, praise thee, honour thee? Hark, a mighty nation maketh glad reply; Lo, our lips are thankful, lo, our hearts are high! Hearts in hope uplifted, loyal lips that sing; Strong in faith and freedom, we have crowned our King! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=podh1wht9RY
Current:
| Canrillaise (French): La lutte sanglante a pris fin L'envahisseur d'hier est désormais un frère De trois millénaires nous avons lavé la honte En combattant au champ d'honneur. Celui qui hier se pliait à l'esclavage Aujourd'hui, est enfin libre et triomphant; Aujourd'hui, est enfin libre et triomphant; La liberté est l'héritage des braves, La victoire s'incline à ses pieds. La liberté est l'héritage des braves, La victoire s'incline à ses pieds. Refrain Chère patrie, acceptez notre dévotion Avec laquelle le Kanjor a juré sur tes autels Que tu seras la tombe des hommes libres, Ou l'asile contre l'oppression. Que tu seras la tombe des hommes libres, Ou l'asile contre l'oppression. Ou l'asile contre l'oppression. Ou l'asile contre l'oppression. Willitu (Mapudungun): Kaliffue wenu mapu mau m'lei gná Rhe k'meké k'rouff ndeyippei Kaiñ lelf'n mai rhe süniñ nguei ngá Ffei meu rhumé udyiñ mapu mai Ellanguechi güinkil lig mawida mai Elekumeleyiñ meu Ngenechen Elekumeleyiñ meu Ngüchén Ellanwechi futa lafken mapu Inawichaff K'leviñ mapu meu Ellanwechi mapu t'affá Rhumel pegulei taiñ einguemun Refrain Ka taiñ rhumel wüitraleam mai Chemché rhumé akui mongüepai Ka taiñ rhumel güitraleam mai Chemché rhumé akui mongüepai Ka taiñ rhumel güitraleam mai Chemché rhumé akui monguëpai Chemché rhumé akui mongüepai Chemché rhumé akui mongüepai Luthorian (English): The bloody fight has ceased; And yesterday's invader is now our brother; Three millennia we washed the affront Fighting in the field of honor. That who yesterday was a slave Is free and triumphant today; Is free and triumphant today; Freedom is the heritage of the brave, Victory lies shameful to his feet. Freedom is the heritage of the brave, Victory lies shameful to his feet. Chorus: Sweet Homeland, receive the vows That Kanjor gave you on your altars That you be either the tomb of the free Or a refuge from oppression. That you be either the tomb of the free Or a refuge from oppression. Or a refuge from oppression. Or a refuge from oppression. |
Proposed:
| Mes frères, les voix des bataillons morts, De ceux qui sont tombés pour la grandeur de Kanjor, S'associent à notre chanson; ils marcheront vivants, avec nous. Et contempleront toujours de là-haut nos actions aujourd’hui. Les rues sont muettes, la bataille finale est terminée Épuisés par le combat, nous saluons fiers l’aube. Regardez au-dessus des rues, les drapeaux ondulés! Les standards triomphants de la renaissance d’une race. Sang de notre sang, esprit de notre esprit Ont trempé cette terre pour laquelle nous avons combattu Les ennemis envahisseurs; avec la tête en haut et le bras fort. Nous poursuivront le combat pour la liberté et pour le pain. Réjouissons-nous avec la nouvelle aurore, Réjouissons-nous avec la nouvelle aurore, Réjouissons-nous avec la nouvelle aurore, Réjouissons-nous pour Kanjor! |

| Message | The current flag is the regional flag of Numineux and it was never the national flag before now. Would the AK support a change to a completely flag (which is, ironically, the old flag)? OOC: Change the flag, please take a look. |
| Date | 19:58:34, April 16, 2011 CET | From | Action Canrillaise | To | Debating the PDC I - National Anthem, Motto & Flag Change |
| Message | OOC: I had no idea that was a regional flag. It just looked better than the first one you proposed. We would support the other flag that you proposed then, the one with the coat of arms over the French tricolour. |
