Bill: National Anthem Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Soziale Gegenseitigkeitspartei
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill asks for an amendement to the Constitution. It will require two-thirds of the legislature to vote in favor. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 4333
Description[?]:
| The current anthem was put in place by dogmatic fascists wishing not to respect Dorvik's culture, but to ensure that the citizenship pledged allegiance to their godforsaken cause through song. This original anthem is a traditional pillar of this country, and was entrenched as this nation's official anthem near this nation's beginnings, in the autumn of 2076. We ask the council to respect the traditions of old, and restore the original anthem of Dorvik. Here is the original bill: http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=8568 |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Dundorfian: O Dorvik hoch in Ehren, Du heil'ges Land der Treu, Stets leuchte deines Ruhmes Glanz In Ost und West aufs neu! Du stehst wie deine Berge fest Gen Feindes Macht und Trug, Und wie des Adlers Flug vom Nest Geht deines Geistes Flug. Haltet aus! Haltet aus! Lasset hoch das Banner wehn! Zeiget ihm, zeigt dem Feind, Dass wir treu zusammenstehn, Dass sich unsre alte Kraft erprobt, Wenn der Schlachtruf uns entgegen tobt! |: Haltet aus im Sturmgebraus! :| Luthorian translation: O highly esteemed Dorvik, Thou art the holy land of loyalty. May the brightness of thy glory Shine anew forever both in the west and east. Thou stand'st firm like thy mountains Against thy foes' power and deception. And thy spirit may fly Like the eagle that leaves his nest. Hold firm! Hold firm! Let the banner flutter! Show the enemy That we stand together faithfully, That our old strength persists When the battlecry rages against us! |: Hold firm in the roaring storm! :|

Proposed:
| 1. O, Dorvik's placid banks heard The resounding shouting of a heroic people. And the sun of freedom, in bright rays, Shone at this moment in the homeland's skies. As the promise of this equality Was secured by our strong arms, In your bosom, O Freedom, We are ready to die. O beloved, idolized homeland, hail, hail! Dorvik, a vivid dream, a lively ray Of love and hope settles on the earth, As in your beautiful sky, smiling and limpid, The image of the Northern Sun shines resplendent. A giant by nature, you are beautiful, Strong, an intrepid colossus, And your future mirrors this grandeur. CHORUS: O land we adore, among a thousand others You are the beloved one. You are the gentle mother of the sons of this land, Beloved homeland, Dorvik! 2. Eternally laid in a splendid cradle, To the sound of the sea and the light from the depths of the sky, Dorvik, you gleam, fleuron of the World, Illuminated by the Sun of the North. Your smiling, lovely fields have more flowers Than the most attractive land elsewhere, Our forests have more life, Our life in your bosom more love. O beloved, idolized homeland, hail, hail! Dorvik, may you have as eternal symbol The brilliant banner you display, And may the green laurel of this pennant speak Of peace in the future and glory in the past. But if you raise a strong cudgel in the name of justice, You will see that a son of yours does not run from a fight, Nor does one who adores you fear death. |

| Message | Council. We ask Dorvikian patriots to support this restoration of our nation's traditional song, and to reject the warlike and non-traditional message of the new one. Patrik Neufeld SGP Chairperson for Education and Culture |

| Message | Frau Schroeder, Our national anthem in a foreign language? We are not Luthorian colonists, we are Dorvish. Why you hate out current anthem I do not understand. But I don't see what is pacifistic about "if you raise a strong cudgel in the name of justice". Many things are traditional, but we don't still use leeches.
