Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Vorona's sons let us rejoice, For we are young and free; We've golden soil and wealth for toil, Our home is girt by sea; Our land abounds in Nature's gifts Of beauty rich and rare; In history's page, let every stage Advance Vorona fair. In joyful strains then let us sing, Advance Vorona fair. When galleons sailed, To trace wide oceans over, True courage bore them on, Til they landed on our shore. Then here they raised our national flag, The standard of the brave; "With all her faults we love her still" "Vorona rules the waves." In joyful strains then let us sing Advance Vorona fair. While other nations of the globe Behold us from afar, We'll rise to high renown and shine Like our glorious hopeful star; From Vorona's soil our Fatherland, Foreigners also fair, Let all combine with heart and hand To advance Vorona fair. In joyful strains then let us sing Advance Vorona fair. Should foreign foe ever sight our coast, Or dare a foot to land, We'll rouse to arms like sires of yore, To guard our native strand; Vorona then shall surely know, Though oceans roll between, Her sons in fair Vorona's land Still keep their courage green. In joyful strains then let us sing Advance Vorona fair.
Current:
| -My Vorona- My Vorona, my joy – delight, How fair thou art – how bright! For nowhere in the world around Can ever such a place be found So well belov'd, from sense profound, My native country dear! May God in Heaven thee defend, My own beloved land! May He be guard, may He be shield, For ever bless and guardian wield Protection for all deeds of thine, My precious Vorona! |
