Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Oh Fatherland, Fatherland, show us a sign, To lead us from hatred and substance malign; I wake from my slumber and gaze at the day, Yet look to you always to show me the way; Through sword, bow and arrows, the perils I've slayed, Would make e'er a weaker man sorely afraid; But with such a guidance I'll never stray, My Fatherland is my way. Oh Motherland, Motherland, tell us again, Of those you repulsed as they challenged your reign; The grass recalls battles, our stalwart prowess, The hawks soaring over note how we progress; Building our futures with esprit de coeur, We're once, twice, thrice, evermore striken with awe; But with my own glorious part to play, My Motherland is my way. Oh Pontesi, Pontesi, let us once more, Praise your grand name as our fathers before; As one valiant nation to challenge the sins, That fell naive countries whose morals wore thin; I will fight for home, my morale will not break, With forces of wickedness slain in my wake, It's with such a realm my loyalty stays My Pontesi is my way.

From mountain peaks to shores so wide, Your strength and spirit never subside. In harmony, our hearts resound, With freedom’s voice, forever bound. Six houses strong, we build and thrive, Pontesi’s flame, always alive. Through storm and sun, we carry on, In peace and war, united strong. For Pontesi, for truth and might, We stand as one, in morning light." |
