Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Oh Pontesi! the land of freedom. Our love and labour we give, And with neighbours all At our country's call In peace and friendship we'll live.
Current:
| 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. |
