Proposals

Article 1

Proposal^[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.

Old value:: O rich Dranland, our home and greatest pride Secure us in Hope so we might abide By honor and strength and glorious might If we stray, O Dranland, please set us Right Our swaying meadows and lushest forests Deep and dense, now and forever ours, lest We fall from glory and then loose our way But graced by the People we shall etern�ly stay Our gleaming ships carry our flag at sea Our peoples from all corners shout in glee Our country shining above all others Bright and proud, to all of us a father War and strife, anger and fear, all derailed For through these perils we have prevail�d For no hostile forces, no barricade Will block the splendid path that Fate has made Our glory bright in the light of the sun This is great Dranland, so strong it does stun Even the oldest states, none can compare, None can contest this nation we all share

National Anthem of Dankuk - 'Tierra Adorada'

Kyo:
一
아침의 땅이여,

해는 아이에게 돌아간다네,
불타는 열정은,
우리의 영혼을 숭배하지 않는다네.

사랑하고 거룩한 땅이여,
귀족 영웅의 요람은,
정복자를 찾지 못하네
그대의 바다는 밟혔네.

하늘과 구름을 넘지 않으면,
그대의 언덕과 바다 위에 아른거리네.
빛을 보면,
영광스런 자유를 느끼네.

아버지의 깃발은 우리 모두의 마음을 사랑하네
해와 별이 내려오네.
오, 그대가 평원에 비치지 않는다면,
폭군에게는 빛나지 않을 것이네!

사랑과 빛과 아름다움의 땅이여,
포옹은 거짓말이네.
하지만 예술계에서 실패해도 영광이네.
우리를 위해 아들은 희생하리라.
一
Draniano:

Tierra adorada
Hija del sol de Oriente,
Su fuego ardiente
En ti latiendo está.

¡Tierra de amores!
Del heroísmo cuna,
Los invasores
No te hollarán jamás.

En tu azul cielo, en tus auras,
En tus montes y en tu mar
Esplende y late el poema
De tu amada libertad.

Tu pabellón, que en las lides
La victoria iluminó,
No verá nunca apagados
Sus estrellas ni su sol.

Tierra de dichas, del sol y amores,
En tu regazo dulce es vivir.
Es una gloria para tus hijos,
Cuando te ofenden, por ti morir.

(Tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT1VHI5m3_Q)

Proposed:

Our Father, who art in Wales,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy Cymru come,
thy will be done,
on Terra as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily leek.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory. for ever and ever. Amen

From	Plaid Gyfreithiol Cymru
To	Debating the Hallowed Be Thy Welsh
Message	The PGC is against every provision of this bill, including the national anthem. While it is a nice gesture from the CZL we feel it would divide the nation more than it would unite it. Dranland is a diverse nation with many ethinicities. While the Welsh-Dranian ethnicity is the best known and most dominant, we do not feel it proper to give it exclusive prominance over other ethnicities. As for all the religous stuff, our feelings are well documented.
