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:
| Rising from the mists of hist'ry, As if waking from a dream, Land of plenty, land of myst'ry, Over her the sun's rays gleam. From the silent hills and forests, A soft voice begins to chime: Most beautiful Malivia, Our beloved homeland! May her mountains ring with freedom, And her valleys shine with peace! Serene land upon the sea, Lead the way to victory! May her people march to triumph, And her greatness never cease! We, Malivians, stand together, Keen on work and of one soul, May our people now and ever , Share in one ambitious goal. From the towns and from the cities, A people in reprise: Most beautiful Malivia, Our beloved homeland! May her mountains ring with freedom, And her valleys shine with peace! Serene land upon the sea, Lead the way to victory! May her people march to triumph, And her greatness never cease! Let us strive to build our nation, And to her be always true, Win the world's admiration, Malivia, we're proud of you! And across the endless ocean, A great voice echoes these words: Most beautiful Malivia, Our beloved homeland! May her mountains ring with freedom, And her valleys shine with peace! Serene land upon the sea, Lead the way to victory! May her people march to triumph, And her greatness never cease! |
