Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: For Cobura, for Cobura, Across the land and sea! For Cobura, for Cobura, We pledge our hearts to thee! Your majestic lands and rivers, Flowing through our hearts and minds, Cities hills and oceans, And freedom for all time! For Cobura, for Cobura, Across the land and sea! For Cobura, for Cobura, We pledge our hearts to thee!
Current:
| The Triumph of Lord Psentkeri the Great When my Menna, charioteer, beheld in his dismay, How the horses swarmed around us, lo! his courage fled away, And terror and affright Took possession of him quite; "Gracious lord and bravest king, savior-guard Of Cobura, in the battle, be our ward; Behold we stand alone, in the hostile Celtoric ring, Save for us the breath of life, Give deliverance from the strife, Oh! save us, mighty Lord!" "Halt! take courage, charioteer As a sparrow-hawk swoops down upon his prey, So I swoop upon the foe, and I will slay, I will hew them into pieces, I will dash them into dust; Have no fear, Cast such evil thought away, These godless men are wretches that in Ajore put no trust." Then the Lord, he hurried forward, on the Celtoric host he flew, "For the sixth time that I charged them," says the king---and listen well, "Like Noshep in his strength, on their rearward, lo! I fell, And I killed them, none escaped me, and I slew, and slew, and slew." |
Proposed:
| Risen from the Ruins Risen from the ruins and faced towards the future, Let us serve you for the good, Cobura, united motherland. Old woes we will have to conquer, and, united, so we shall, For it lays within our power that the sun, beautiful as never before, Shines over Cobura. (bis) Happiness and peace be granted Cobura, our motherland. All the world now longs for peace, so go forth and extend your hand. When as brothers we unite, we defeat the people´s foe. Let it shine, the light of Peace! so that no mother again must Mourn her son. (bis) Let us plough, let us build, learn and work as never before, And, in confidence and strength, a free generation will come forth. Coburian youth, the best endeavor of our people combined in you, You will give Cobura new life. Then may the sun, more beautiful than ever Shine over Cobura. (bis) |

| Message | PTU statement it any other case of changing the National Symbols (Anthem, Flag, Capital City, HoS and Parliament names): We will vote against such, and we will fully support every action that gives a brand new value. Changing the tradition is against our conservative ideas. Extending, bringing new values is the thing that should be done, IOHO. Repairing something that is not broken is just a waist of everyones time and work. As for the artistic virtues, the current anthem is much better, IOHO. occ: IOHO - plural for IMHO ;-) |
