Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: Take my love, take my home Take me where I cannot roam I don't care, I'm still free You can't take this land from me Lead me out on an attack Tell them I ain't comin' back Level the hills and boil the sea You can't take this land from me There's no place I'd rather be Since I found my liberty You can't take this land from me.
Current:
| Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people, dispenser of Malivia's destiny. Thy name rouses the hearts of Bhulkandra, Dendhadrash and Idhaghra, of the Washebar and Walkaunar and Hitam. It echoes in the winds of the Malivy Islands, mingles in the music of Auroria and Constantium and is chanted by the waves of the Malivian Sea. They pray for thy blessings and sing thy praise. The saving of all people waits in thy hand, thou dispenser of Malivia's destiny. Victory, victory, victory to thee. Day and night thy voice goes out from province to province, Calling the Gerajans, Daenists, Akalis and Wains round thy throne and the Hosians, Ahmadis and Rasezanians. The northern mainland and the southern Islands join hands in their prayer to thee, and the garland of love is woven. Thou bringest the hearts of all people into the harmony of one life, thou dispenser of Malivia's destiny. Victory, victory, victory to thee. |
Proposed:
| The Call to the Citizens Youth of Malivia, arise! And at our Country's call Single in heart let us open the way; let us keep in mind Our millenary history. From North to South, brothers, Let us unite. Our young hearts are crystal pure; Unsparing of our ardent blood, let our efforts increase. No danger, no obstacle can hold us back. Despite a thousand trials our courage is unshaken. On this new road our eyes embrace the horizon, Our soaring youthful spirit is undauntable. Youth of Malivia, to the very end! this we resolve. To give ourselves completely, this we vow. Forward together for a glorious life, Remember we are the sons of the Malvinese. |
