Voting deadline: August 3424
Description[?]:
| Our current national anthem is not in German (I would also do Japanese but alas, I am not proficient) while our nation is somewhat allophone. It's also not singable. I have deviced a melody and here I will work on a German revised text of "Land of our Fathers". The translation, me being not a native speaker is of course fallible. Feel free to use this bill to comment. ENGLISH VERSION (original): Dear land of our fathers, of rivers and plains; Made rich by the sunshine, and lush by the rains, Set gem-like and fair, between mountains and sea, Your children salute you, dear land of the free. Long live the Kaiser! Long live the Mikado! Hulstria and Gao-Soto! Green land of our fathers, our heroes of yore, Both native and settler, laid bones on your shore. This soil so they hallowed, and from them are we, All sons of one Mother, the home of the free. Long live the Kaiser! Long live the Mikado! Hulstria and Gao-Soto! Great land of our fathers, diverse though our strains, We're born of their sacrifice, heirs of their pains, And ours is the glory their eyes did not see, One land of two peoples, united and free. Long live the Kaiser! Long live the Mikado! Hulstria and Gao-Soto! GERMAN VERSION (translation): Oh Land unser'n Vater, Flüsse und Flachen reich; Du leuchtest in den Sonne, und wachst in die Dau, Oh Land zwisch'n Meer und Bergen, so schön wie Diamant, Wir wollen dich grussen, der freien Heimatland! Gott erhalt' den Kaiser! Hoch leb den Mikado! Zwei völker vereinigt, Hulsterreich und Gao-Soto! Oh Land unser'n Vater, So grun wie ein Smaragd, Damals kraftige Sohne, sind für dich umgebracht, Und dankens ihren Opfer, geboren wird das Land, Und wir sind deine Kinder, du freie Heimatland! Gott erhalt' den Kaiser! Hoch leb den Mikado! Zwei völker vereinigt, Hulsterreich und Gao-Soto! Oh Land unser'n Vater, Vielseitig durch unser Streit, Gesamtlich geboren, in Opfer eher Zeit, Uns gaben sie Glücke, die nich in in ihr Sicht sei, Das land von zwei Völker, vereint und frei! Gott erhalt' den Kaiser! Hoch leb den Mikado! Zwei völker vereinigt, Hulsterreich und Gao-Soto! ENGLISH VERSION (translation of new version): Oh land of our Fathers, Rich in rivers and plains, You glow in the sunshine and grow with the dew, Oh land 'tween sea and mountains, beautiful as gems, We shall salute you, the free land of our home! God save the Kaiser! Long live the Mikado! Two peoples united, Hulstria and Gao-Soto! Oh land of our Fathers, As green as emerald. In these times strong sons were killed for you, And thanks to their sacrifice, the land was born, And we are your children, you free land of our home! God save the Kaiser! Long live the Mikado! Two peoples united, Hulstria and Gao-Soto! Oh land and our Fathers, Diverse through our struggles, Born together in the sacrifices of earlier times, They gave us the happy fate, that was not in their sight, The land of two peoples, united and free! God save the Kaiser! Long live the Mikado! Two peoples united, Hulstria and Gao-Soto! |

Current:
| 川が流れ、平野が広がる地に、 太陽の抱擁の下、露の優しい潮時に、 海と山々の間、美の誇りに、 自由の歩みの中、団結して立つ。 勇気の地よ、春の最初の日のように緑、 かつて勇敢な者たちがその命を捧げた君のために。 彼らの犠牲は、永遠に私たちの権利として残る、 自由の子供たち、調和の中で祈ります。 多様な系統から、一つの国、大胆で自由な、 すべてに見える統一の遺産。 二つの民族の地、連帯の中で、 私たちが永遠に大切にする、平和と統一の中で。 ====================================== In Ländern, wo Flüsse fließen und Ebenen weit sich strecken, Unter der Sonne Umarmung, im Tau's sanften Wecken, Zwischen dem Meer und Gipfeln, in Schönheit's Stolz, Stehen wir vereint, im Freiheitsschritt so holz. Oh Land des Mutes, grün wie der Frühling's erster Tag, Für dich, gaben die Tapferen einst ihr Leben, ohne Klage. Ihr Opfer, unser Geburtsrecht, für immer zu bleiben, Kinder der Freiheit, in Harmonie wir treiben. Aus diversen Strängen, eine Nation, mutig und frei, Ein Vermächtnis der Einheit, für alle sichtbar dabei. Ein Land zweier Völker, in Solidarität, Mögen wir für immer bewahren, in Frieden und Einigkeit. ====================================== In lands where rivers flow and plains stretch wide, Beneath the sun's embrace, in dew's gentle tide, Between the sea and peaks, in beauty's pride, We stand united, in freedom's stride. Oh, land of valor, green as spring's first day, For thee, the bold once gave their lives away. Their sacrifice, our birthright, forever to stay, Children of liberty, in harmony we pray. From diverse strains, one nation, bold and free, A legacy of unity for all to see. A land of two peoples, in solidarity, May we forever cherish, in peace and unity. |
