I know it's been done-to-death. However I just found mine when going through my old posts and wanted a reason to post it. But if you like to post yours to then feel free to and I'll add it to the list.

English Version
Rotovia, The youth will stand!
Rotovia, May glory reign!
Long live your children
Forward we move

Rise up you people
And claim you birthright
You are the people
And such is yours

Glory and might and strength
This is the creed
This is honour
Rotovia, The land of hope

We stand together
And never waver
By Christs' Guidance
We never faulter

Rise up you people
And claim your birthright
You are the people
And such is yours

Long live Rotovia
Long the truth

Not really an anthem, but I like it... Hard to see how it is without knowing the tune...

"And we go marching,
mar-ar-arching,
for glorious,
for glorious,
Chellis! (Chellis!)"

Repeat for an indefident time. In the last Genk Day, Raslin(the dictator) got about 3 million chanting this for hours after his speech... It was great...

Hamptonshire has three national anthems:

The first national anthem (Its used to salute the flag each morning)

Hail, Hail Hamptonshire
Hail, Hail to Thee
Hail, Hail Hamptonshire
Hail, Hail to Thee

From Port Eastson
To Antietam
There is greatness
For all to see

Hail, Hail Hamptonshire
We stand on guard for Thee
Hail, Hail Hamptonshire
Land of the rich and free

Rise, Rise Hamptonians
Hear, Hear the Call
To arms we rise
Defend the skies
Liberty for all

Hamptonshire, Hamptonshire
Our lives for Thee
Hamptonshire, Hamptonshire
All Hail Me

Hamptonshire, O! Hamptonshire
God lives in Thee
Hamptonshire, My Hamptonshire
Land of the Rich and Free

Hamptonshire, Hamptonshire
All Hail to Thee

O! Hamptonshire

For Hamptonshire!


The National Anthem when the nation is at Peace:
Hymn to the Fallen (http://www.sonymusic.com/clips/selection/30/051333/051333_02_01_30.ram)


The National Anthem when the nation is at War:
Battle Hymn of the Grand Duchy (http://realserver.kataweb.it/ramgen/videob/musica/audio/apocalypse_now/ride_valkiries.rm)

The national anthem of the PCBG is without lyrics- those who remember The Prisoner will be familiar with the theme music...

Kilean, Laandesvaters!

(translated from Kileanishe)

The high peaks resound
with a mighty sound
from the sea to the plain
A sword is raised, an oath is made
from Mauerstaht to Polzn
Kilean, or the grave!

<chorus>
Land of our fathers
our blood, our soil
so long as one hero stands
so long as a fist can be made
so long as a sword may be drawn
Land of our fathers, you shall stand
you shall stand.
<end chorus>

When the thunder roars
and armies clash
our mothers shall give their sons
their sons their lives
and Kilean, you shall breathe.

Kilean, you shall breathe

<chorus>

When the battle is fought
we shall see what we have wrought
in the cities and the fields
our fatherland, we shall be as good children to you
and to you we pledge our lives.

....well, it rhymes in Kileanishe!

It does sort of carry across the Kilean ethos, however.

The United States of Tasty Toast National Anthem:

I have a borrowed worm,
He hangs out in the communal garden,
Playing hide and seek,
He is wormy brown,
And eats mud and jaffa cakes™,

Borrowed worm is my best friend,
He's only borrowed.
I don't know what I'll do when he's gone.
I've played with other worms,
But they're just not the same,
As my borrowed worm.

FIELDS OF GOLD -Sting

You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold

I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold

mine aint as long but i like it

Who controls the British Crown?
Who Keeps The Metric System Down?
We Do, We Do...
Who keeps Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
We Do, We Do...
Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Gutenberg, a star!
We Do, We Do...
Who robs kegfish of their sight?
Who rigs every Oscar night?
We Do... We Doooo!

Starblaydi National Anthem <to the 'Great Escape' Theme tune>


Starblaydia Triumphant

All Hail the Lord-Protector,
Our Light and triumphant benefactor,
With sword in hand,
He shields us all,
All Hail for Starblaydia!

With the mountains firm at our back,
Peaks white with snow,
With the waters so blue and pure,
Triumph for Starblaydia!

Our faith will see us though,
Victorious,
And our banners they shall proclaim,
Triumph for Starblaydia!

THE IMPERIAL MARCH (http://www.stardestroyer.net/Empire/Media/SKWEEG-Imperial-Groove.mp3)

Roycelandia has many Anthems...

The Roycelandian Empire as a Whole: The Imperial March (from Star Wars)

Roycelandia: Funky Strings (Mint Royale- the theme from Kung Pow: Enter The Fist)

Roycelandian East Africa: The Indiana Jones Theme (from Raiders of the Lost Ark and the other Indiana Jones films)

Coral Palm Island: Mucho Mambo (Sway) (by Shaft)

Glimmer Twins: The Lumberjack Song (Monty Python, Ladies & Gentlemen...) :D

The national anthem of Cousin Eddie changes reasonably often. However, the current one can be found below. The part in bold is the part commonly sung. The longer version is saved for special occasions.

Wake alone in the hills
With the wind in your face
It feels good to be proud
And be free and a race
That is part of a clan
And to live on highlands
And the air that you breathe
So pure and so clean

When alone on the hills
With the wind in your hair
With a longing to feel
Just to be free

It is right to believe
In the need to be free
It's a time when you die
And without asking why
Can't you see what they do
They are grinding us down
They are taking our land
That belongs to the clans

Not alone with a dream
Just a want to be free
With a need to belong
I am a clansman...Freedom! (x4)

It's a time wrought with fear
It's a land wrought with change
Ancestors could hear
What is happening now
They would turn in their graves
They would all be ashamed
That the land of the free
Has been written in chains

And I know what I want
When is timing is right
Then I'll take what is mine
I am the clansman

And I swear to defend
And we'll fight to the end
And I swear that I'll never
Be taken alive
And I know that we'll stand
And we'll fight for our land
And I swear that our people
Will be born free

And I know what I want
When is timing is right
Then I'll take what is mine
I am the clansman... Freedom! (x4)

No, no we can't let them take anymore
No we can't let them take anymore
We've the land of the free
Freedom! (x4)

It's a time wrought with fear
It's a land wrought with change
Ancestors could hear
What is happening now
They would turn in their graves
They would all be ashamed
That the land of the free
Has been written in chains

And I know what I want
When is timing is right
Then I'll take what is mine
I am the clansman... Freedom!(x4)

[This is an Iron Maiden track]

[OOC: I have no idea what to use as a national anthem... and I haven't sat down to write one yet.]

DRD National Anthem

It is time, time for a new place
Time for a change of face!.
It is time, for a new Nation
Time for welfare creation!.

CHORUS:
Our great Motherland Droondrala!
Where our people live in freedom!
Democracy is practiced nationwide!.

It is time to be something different
It is time! Time! Time! TO TRANSFORM!.

Chorus

Time for a change!.

O Talcose the brave!
Her progress shall never halt
With her lush, fertile lands,
Fine selection of name brands
New and improved, high in fiber, low in salt!

We're incorporated!
We're emancipated!
And we keep our noses clean!
Ever firm but fair
And ne'er to despair
And with the greatest football clubs ever seen!

(drum solo)

O Talcose the brave!
Half off on everything in stock
Open seven days a week,
Always friendly, never meek
And our credit is solid as a rock

Yes our credit is solid as a rock!

WOODSTOCK (ASP) -- President Mike Sarzo signed legislation today announcing a new national anthem for the Incorporated States of Sarzonia.

The Fleetwood Mac song "Freedom" from the 1990 album Behind The Mask, written by Stevie Nicks and Mike Campbell, was the choice, beating out "Fall From Grace" from the Stevie Nicks solo album Trouble in Shangri-la, released in 2001.

"This was not an easy decision," Sarzo said. "I love both songs, but Freedom is just a little bit more appropriate, especially considering our national motto. This song just fits well."

[OOC: Here's the song:

Freedom
Dim and wavering
On a wind-blown night
Whose honour, whose anger
Cold and quivering
As was the wind-blown night
Into which she'd fallen, fallen

Freedom, well it's a thing that is fleeting
Freedom is standing next to you
My intentions were clear
I was with him
Everyone knew
Poor little fool

Beautiful as you are
With that high spirit
Morning star of evil hit me
Cut me like a knife
Cool and collected
She became that with time
Totally rejected

Freedom, well it's a thing that is fleeting
Freedom is standing next to you
Well my intentions were clear
I was with him
Everyone knew
Poor little fool

It's all in the eyes
It's all in the way that you look
It's all in the way
That you say very little
It's all in the way that you talk
Look at me with daggers
It won't do you any good
All the looks that you've used on me
Don't work now that you've fallen,
fallen, fallen

Freedom, well it's a thing that is fleeting
Freedom is standing next to you
My intentions were clear
I was with him
Everyone knew
Poor little fool

Look at me with daggers
It won't do you any good
All the looks that you've used on me
Don't work now that you've fallen
All the looks that you've used on me
Don't work now that you've fallen

Freedom
Freedom
Everyone knew
Poor little fool
Poor little fool
Poor little fool
Freedom
Come with me
Poor little fool
Freedom]

Feazanthian National Anthem lyrics: in original sanskrit and translation

Song is sung in original sanskrit. Students are taught both the original and translation.

Ode To Feazanthia
asato ma sad gamaya
tamaso ma jyotir gamaya
mrtyor mamrtam gamaya

From delusion lead me to truth
From darkness lead me to light
From death lead me to immortality.

vidyam cavidyam ca yas
tad vedobhayam saha
avidyaya mrtyum tirtva
vidyayamrtam asnute

He who knows both knowledge and action, with action overcomes death and with knowledge reaches immortality.

yasmin dyauh prthivi cantariksam otam manah saha pranais ca sarvaih tam evaikam janatha atmanam anya vacah vimuncatha amrtasya esah setuh

In him are woven the sky and the earth and all the regions of the air, and in him rest the mind and all the powers of life. Know him as the lord and leave aside all other words. He is the bridge of immortality.

indriyebhyah param mano
manasah sattvam uttamam
sattvad adhi mahan atma
mahato vyaktam uttamam

Beyond the senses is the mind, and beyond the mind is reason, its essence. Beyond reason is the Spirit in man, and beyond this is the Spirit of the Universe, the evolver of all.

yada pancavatisthante
jnanani manasa saha
buddhis ca na vicestate
tam ahuh paramam gatim

When the five senses and the mind are still, and reason itself rests in silence, then begins the Path supreme.

bhidyate hrdayagranthis
chidyante sarvasamsayah
ksiyante casya karmani
tasmin drste paravare

And when he is seen in his immanence and transcendence, then the ties that have bound the heart are unloosened, the doubts of the mind vanish, and the law of Karma works no more.

(The anthem is usually ended with the following cheer. It is repeated three times.)

HAIL! FEAZANTHIA! HAIL! FEAZANTHIA!
FREEDOM FOR ALL! OPRESSION FOR NONE!
THY ENEMIES RUN IN FEAR!
HAIL! FEAZANTHIA!

National anthem?

National Anthem: You Are The New Day -By The King's Singers

You are the new day.
You are the new day.

I will love you more than me and more than yesterday.
If you can but prove to me you are the new day.

Send the sun in time for dawn.
Let the birds all hail the morning.
Love of life will urge me say.
You are the new day.

When I lay me down at night, knowing we must pay.
Thoughts occur that this night might stay yesterday.

Thoughts that we as humans small.
Could slow worlds and end it all.
Lie around me where they fall.
Before the new day.
Before the new day.

One more day when time is running out for everyone.
Like a breath I knew would come I reach for a new day.

Hope is my philosophy.
Just needs days in which to be.
Love of life means hope for me!

Born on a new day!

You are the new day!

O'er the Seas
by T'sin T'sin the Great (1675? 1680? AD)

O'er the seas we did sail
Ne'er our strength did fail
To the land so green 'twas
That by Him our people did grow
To this land so green it is

But o'er the years we did fall
To War's great bitter call
That we all so did we hate
that no allied nation state
did emerge from our b'loved land

Then He, Th' Father, oh so High
On our sins did He spy
A Hand wa' shown t' the North
To guide us all, as a one
Ne'er to be fallen, t' be true
By His Great Code

So we did, pull our limbs
Uniform all our hymns
To be as brothers true
Our sins so gone our vices few
All t' Him that He may Be
Blue and True 'tis the sea.

OOC: A little late, but here is Cax's.

IC: Of course, the poor medium of electrons hitting a phosphorescent screen cannot truly capture the fireworks, elephants and cannon, but here are the approxiamate lyrics:

HE'S SO GREAT (An ode to the Emperor's Greatness)(Abridged Version)

*Orchestra and Brass Band start up. Choirs (3 of them, 1000 strong each) begin to sing:*
He's so great, he's so great, I can't believe he's so great,
He-e-e is so great, can't beleive he's so great, he's so great, great, great,
He-e-e is so great!!

*Tap Dancers (1000 on each staircase) parade down double-staircase. They too join in the second verse:*
I can't believe he's so great, he's so great, great, great,
He is rea-ll-y great!! Can't beleive he's so great, he's so great, great, great,
He-e-e is so great!!

*Brass bands (2 of them, each of 250 men) march in to accompany those already onstage. The tap dancers form huge dance lines:*
He's so great, he's so great, I can't believe he's so great,
He-e-e is so great, can't believe he's so great, he's so great, great, great,
He-e-e is so great!!

*1000 tap dancing elephants can-can onto the stage:*
I can't beleive he's so great, he's so great, great, great,
He is rea-ll-y great!! Can't believe he's so great, he's so great, great, great,
He-e-e is so great!!

1st Choir: He's so great!
3rd Choir: He's so great!
2nd Choir: He's so great, great great!!
Everyone: He-e-e is so great!!
1st Choir: He's so great!
3rd Choir: He's so great!
2nd Choir: He's so great, great great!!
Single Opera singer: He-e-e-e-e-e-e-E-E-E-E-e-e iiiiiiiihhhhhsssss sssssooooOOOO GRRRE-e-E-e-a-A-a-A-TTT!!!!!
1st Choir: He's so great!
3rd Choir: He's so great!
2nd Choir: He's so great, great great!!
All singers together, as music reaches its climax, which puts even the rest of the amazing spectacle to shame, and also as a giant picture of the Emperor unfurls at the back of the stage, spotlights shine upon it, fireworks go off, creating vast indoor explosions, and incidently setting the roof on fire, and cannon and guns go off, making clouds of smoke and demolishing vital supports: He-e-e-e-e-e-e-E-E-E-E-e-e iiiiiiiihhhhhsssss sssssooooOOOO GRRRRrrrrrRRRRR-E-e-E-e-E-e-E-e-E-e-E-e-E-e-E-e-E-e-E-e-E-e-E-e-E-e-E-e-a-A-a-A-A-a-A-A-a-A-A-a-A-A-a-A-A-a-A-A-a-A-A-a-A-A-a-A-A-a-A-A-a-A-A-a-A-ttttTTTTTTTT!!!!!

*The Emperor, the only patron of the vast theatre which seats 100,000 claps wildly, as the performers gasp for breath.*
