Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Beluzia, Beluzia, Beluzia, Our enemy decimated, and our sacrifices vindicated by independence. Steadfast in our goal, symbolizing endurance, Beluzia, the pride of our determined people, proves that the truth prevails. Beluzia, Beluzia, Bailon! We hold our rightful place in the world. Dedication that led to victory, Will build up and make her green, We shall honour Beluzia with progress, We have a word to Beluzia to embellish. Beluzia, Beluzia, Beluzia holds our rightful place in the world.
Current:
| Land of the Free by the people, We pledge to thy liberty! No tyrants here linger, despots must flee. This tranquil haven of democracy, the blood of our sires which hallows the sod, brought freedom from slavery and oppressionists. By the might of truth, no longer shall we be hewers of wood. Arise! Sons, daughters of the united and democratic ancestors, put on your armor, clear the land! Drive back the tyrants, let despots flee -Land of the Free by the people! Nature has blessed us with wealth untold. Our mountains and valleys where prairies roll; our fathers, mothers, valiant and bold drove back the invader- those of tyranny. |
Proposed:
| When Beluzia first, at Heaven's command Arose from out the azure main; This was the charter of the land, And guardian angels sang this strain: "Rule, Beluzia! rule the waves: "Beluzians never will be slaves." The nations, not so blest as thee, Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall; While thou shalt flourish great and free, The dread and envy of them all. "Rule, Beluzia! rule the waves: "Beluzians never will be slaves." Still more majestic shalt thou rise, More dreadful, from each foreign stroke; As the loud blast that tears the skies, Serves but to root thy native oak. "Rule, Beluzia! rule the waves: "Beluzians never will be slaves." Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame: All their attempts to bend thee down, Will but arouse thy generous flame; But work their woe, and thy renown. "Rule, Beluzia! rule the waves: "Beluzians never will be slaves." To thee belongs the rural reign; Thy cities shall with commerce shine: All thine shall be the subject main, And every shore it circles thine. "Rule, Beluzia! rule the waves: "Beluzians never will be slaves." The Muses, still with freedom found, Shall to thy happy coast repair; Blest Isle! With matchless beauty crown'd, And manly hearts to guard the fair. "Rule, Beluzia! rule the waves: "Beluzians never will be slaves." |
