About Bloody Time

Our players have stood around looking bored before countless football matches, but now the powers-that-be have finally come up with a suitably rousing national anthem, titled...

Brothers of Bettia

Oh Brothers of Bettia
Be proud of your land, this Blessed Realm.
Be true to your God, and to yourselves
And all evil we shall overwealm!

Bettia, strong foes but stronger friends
Our freedom we shall defend
Oh Brothers of Bettia
Be proud of this Blessed Realm.

Our mighty Aroras,
Opponents stand in awe,
Green and gold
Are the colours of our flag
Our faith is ever
Solid to the core,
We'll never give up
And our spirits never sag

On the field of play
Or on the field of war
Don't let your nation down
Be firm and stand tall

Our foes may scorn us
So rise up and join us
Cry out as one! BETTIA! BETTIA!




If anyone fancies having a sing-along, Brothers of Bettia has exactly the same tune as the national anthem of Italy, which apparently is an 'RL' nation. Whatever it is, it ain't in AO, and I can't find them on the KPB rankings so their footy team can't be that good.

There are a bunch of people who'll be wearing red, white, and blue (some of them speaking English), that hope you're right on this one wink.gif

The National Anthem of the Allied States of Myrtannia: "Oh Myrtannia"
(shamelessly based on O Canada)

Oh Myrtannia,
Our long united land,
True brotherhood amongst the lands extend.
From the main isle
To our islands east,
Truth and justice we defend.
To all our kin
We promise this:
True equity for all!
Long live our land
Glorious and free!
Oh Myrtannia we stand on guard for thee!
Oh Myrtannia we stand on guard for thee!
Myrtannia

After stumbling over the words and massive accounts of snoring during 'Oh Myrtannia', the Minisrty of State and Foreign Affairs is proud to announce the ratification of a new, more rousing national anthem:

Stand Strong, United Isles


In our isles, their sands glistening,
Many people stand as one!
Long united, always resisting
Any wrongs that would be done!
We stand beside our brothers,
Let our foes fall and be gone.
Stand strong soldiers,
Shoulder to shoulder,
Fight injustice where you find it!
Evil falters
In our waters!
Stand strong our
Beloved Isles!
Evil falters
In our waters!
Stand strong our
United Isles!


(If you wish to sing along, 'Stand Strong, United Isles' is the exact same tune as the national anthem of Greece)

Spruitland's national anthem is a barely modified version of "Everybody must get stoned" by Bob Dylan.
Well, the actual title of the original is Rainy Day Women #12 & 35, actually, but since Spruitlanders have trouble remembering a title that isn't part of the song lyrics and doesn't seem to make much sense at all, they changed it to the phrase they most enthusiastically sing along.

Everybody Must Get Stoned

Well, we'll stone ya when you're trying to be so good,
We'll stone ya just a-like we said we would.
We'll stone ya when you're tryin' to go home.
Then we'll stone ya when you're there all alone.
But you would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.

Well, we'll stone ya when you're walkin' 'long the street.
We'll stone ya when you're tryin' to keep your seat.
We'll stone ya when you're walkin' on the floor.
We'll stone ya when you're walkin' to the door.
But you would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.

We'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
We'll stone ya when you are young and able.
We'll stone ya when you're tryin' to make a buck.
We'll stone ya and then they'll say, "good luck."
Tell ya what, you would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.

Well, we'll stone you and say that it's the end.
Then we'll stone you and then they'll come back again.
We'll stone you when you're riding in your car.
We'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Yes, but you would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.

Well, we'll stone you when you walk all alone.
We'll stone you when you are walking home.
We'll stone you and then say you are brave.
We'll stone you when you are set down in your grave.
But you would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Spruitland

Anthem of the Socialist Union
(Sung to the tune of the anthem of Russia/USSR)

United forever in friendship and labor,
Our mighty republic will ever endure!
The Socialist Union will live through the ages,
The dream of a people, their fortress secure!

Long live our Socialist Motherland,
Built by the people's mighty hand.
Long live our people united and free!
Strong in our friendship tried by fire,
Long may our crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all men to see!

Through days dark and stormy, when great Mosser lead us,
Our eyes saw above us the bright light of freedom.
And our socialist leader, with faith in the people,
Inspires us to build up the land that we love!

Long live our Socialist Motherland,
Built by the people's mighty hand.
Long live our people united and free!
Strong in our friendship tried by fire,
Long may our crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all men to see!

We fought for the future, destroyed the invader,
And brought to our homeland the laurels of fame!
Her victory will live in the memory of nations,
And all generations will honor her name!

Long live our Socialist Motherland,
Built by the people's mighty hand.
Long live our people united and free!
Strong in our friendship tried by fire,
Long may our crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all men to see!

Yihsrael's National Anthem: "Hatikvah"

(written in more or less phonetic for the Hebrew lyrics)

Kol od balevav p'nimah -
Nefesh Yehudi homiyah.
Ulfa'atey mizrach kadimah
Ayin l'Tzion tzofiyah.
Od lo avdah tikvatenu
Hatikvah bat shnot alpayim:
Li'hyot am chofshi b'artzenu -
Eretz Tzion v'Yerushalayim.
Li'hyot am chofshi b'artzenu -
Eretz Tzion v'Yerushalayim.

Republic of Ereeland Press Presents The National Anthem

The following is the more or less official national anthem of the Republic of Ereeland, to be played at diplomatic and sporting events, etc. In most cases, the Gaelige (Gaelic) version is sung, but lyrics in Ereeland's two other major languages are also available.

Gaelige:

Sinne Fianna Fáil
Atá faoi gheall ag Éiree
Buíon dár slua
Thar toinn do ráinig chughainn
Faoi mhóid bheith saor
Sean-tír ár sinsear feasta
Ní fhágfar faoin tiorán ná faoin tráill
Anocht a théam sa bhearna baoil
Le gean ar Ghaeil chun báis nó saoil
Le gunna scréach faoi lámhach na bpiléar
Seo libh canaig Amhrán na bhFiann


Phoenetics of Gaeliege version:

Shin-na fee-in-na fall
A-taw fwee yal eg Eree
Bween daur slew
Harr teen du rawnig cooin
Fwaw vode veh sair
Shann-tier awr shinshir fawsta
Nee awg-fur fween teer-awn naw fween trawl
A nukt a hay-un sa varna vwail
Lay g'yan air gwale cunn bawsh no sale
Le gunna schrake, fay law vock na bill air
Shuh liv con-ig arawn naveen


In English:

Soldiers are we
Whose lives are pledged to Ereeland
Some have come
From a land beyond the wave
Sworn to be free
No more our ancient sireland
Shall shelter the despot or the slave
Tonight we man the Tarnawhail
In Eree's cause, come woe or weal
'Mid cannon's roar and rifles' peal
We'll chant a soldier's song


In Badly Translated German:

Soldaten sind wir
Wer Leben nach Erland versprochen werden
Einige sind gekommen
Von einem Land über der Welle hinaus
Geschworen, um frei zu sein
Nicht mehr unser altes sireland
Schützt den Despot oder den Sklaven
Heute abend bemannen wir das Tarnawhail
In der Ursache Erees kommen Elend oder weal
Unter Brüllen der Kanone und Glockengeläut des Gewehrs
Wir singen das Lied eines Soldaten


Note: Because the German version is so unwieldy, it is never sung. It's just there because.. well, it is.

The Imperial Anthem of Zongguo

While the Imperial Anthem as yet has not been translated from Zongguoese into English (for 'traditional purposes'), the melody should be quite familiar to those in foreign nations. In fact, it is used for the national anthems of two 'real life' nations.

To the tune of Beethoven's 9th symphony, Ode To Joy.

Rise O Voices of Rhodesia

Rise O voices of Rhodesia,
God may we thy bounty share,
Give us strength to face all danger,
And where challenge is, to dare.

Guide us, Lord, to wise decision,
Ever of thy grace aware.
Oh, let our hearts beat bravely always
For this land within thy care.

Rise O voices of Rhodesia,
Bringing her your proud acclaim,
Grandly echoing through the mountains
Rolling over far flung plain

Roaring in the mighty rivers
Joining in one grand refrain
Ascending to the sunlit heavens
Telling of her honoured name
Rhodesia

Here're the lyrics to the Zarblese national Anthem


in Zarblese:

Kuando surjur zarblidu impontu
Kampnus lutnikus aguardur
Sabur ben vikur frentnus
Durzus batalius nan tardur

Zarblieus ardus komba'dus
Mudformund leaudadus padra'nus
Sabur semper levur
Vensu'dus mostreur
Fatdus sur vitoriozus

Eskudu ningen pasu
Lansu espadeu rasdus
Povus kantkur vibereur

Deztrese nasanpu unidu
Sabkur sur zarblidu
Ostentun eldus fiberus


In English

When the imponent Zarblese appear
In the field where the fight awaits
They know well what they have ahead
That the hardness of the battle will not be long

And Zarbli in the heat of the combat
Making of loyalty its pattern
Always knows how to "take"
[the enemies] Defeated and show
That [Zarbli] is trully victorious

Shields that no one can trespass
Fierce spears and swords
A people that sings and cheers

For the thirteen nations united
That know how to be Zarblese
Showing off their fiber


Or something like that.
Zarbli
Inexperienced

Beneath The Skies - the Falcanian National Anthem

Upon an ancient mountaintop
Beneath those ancient skies
There hatched a mighty herald king
Whose glory never dies!

And lo, the people grew, and learned
When all around them fell
A mighty new society
For future bards to tell

The mighty tribes, Falcania
atop the mighty peak
They banded all together, then
And glory they did seek

They brought aloft the mighty walls
They manned the iron towers
And little did they all suspect
Approached the darkest hours

For darkness spread, without, within,
The low ones crawled from mud
They rose up from the valleys
And they spilled Falcanian blood

Our hero, Falcon, climbed aloft
And drew his mighty blade,
He charged into the hordes outside
For mercy, they all prayed

With endless grace, our noble king
He threw them from our land
The low ones were all exiled
But evil, they yet planned

For silent traitors they had sown
Who left open the gate
The Falcon took his blade to fight
But it was just too late

The low ones struck into our heart
It seemed that they had won
But the mighty Falcon gave himself,
And then, the war was done.

The women wept, the warriors bowed,
As Falcon's ashes burned,
And to the ancient sky above
Our king, at last, returned.

And then, atop that ancient mount
Beneath these ancient skies,
The elders met, and on that day
The New King's throne did rise,
And through the town, inside the walls
Were heard the joyous cries
For any man can kill a king
But the Falcon never dies!
Falcania
Winging It Since 2004

National Anthem of Arcadiana:

Arcadiana – our holy nation,
Arcadiana – our beloved country.
A mighty will, great glory –
Yours given for all time!

Chorus:

Be glorious, our free Homeland,
Age-old union of fraternal peoples,
National wisdom given by our forebears!
Be glorious, our country! We are proud of you!
From the southern seas to the polar lands
Spread are our forests and fields.
You are unique in the world, one of a kind –
Native land protected by God!

Chorus

Wide spaces for dreams and for living
Are opened for us by the coming years
Our loyalty to our Homeland gives us strength.
Thus it was, thus it is and always will be!
Arca
Two. Two.

The anthems name is ''The Sacred War''.its a call to arms agains the fascist forces that started the war in Savski Venac
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVKT0q_r3dc&feature=related


Danubian
Вставай, страна огромная,
Вставай на смертный бой
С фашистской силой тёмною,
С проклятою ордой.

Припев: (2x)
Пусть ярость благородная
Вскипает, как волна!
Идёт война народная,
Священная война!

Дадим отпор душителям
Всех пламенных идей,
Насильникам, грабителям,
Мучителям людей!

Припев

Не смеют крылья чёрные
Над Родиной летать,
Поля её просторные
Не смеет враг топтать!

Припев

Гнилой фашистской нечисти
Загоним пулю в лоб,
Отребью человечества
Сколотим крепкий гроб!

Припев (2x)
Vstavaj, strana ogromnaja,
Vstavaj na smertnyj boj!
S fašistskoj siloj tjomnoju,
S prokljatoju ordoj.

English

Pripev (2x)
Arise, great country,
Arise for a fight to the death
Against the dark fascist forces,
Against the cursed hordes.

Chorus: (2x)
Let noble wrath
Boil over like a wave!
This is the peoples' war,
a sacred war!

We shall repulse the oppressors
Of all ardent ideas.
The rapists and the plunderers,
The torturers of people.

Chorus

The black wings shall not dare
Fly over the Motherland,
On her spacious fields
The enemy shall not dare tread!

Chorus

We shall drive a bullet into the forehead
Of the rotten fascist filth,
We shall build a solid coffin
For the scum of humanity!

Chorus (2x)
Savski Venac

Glorious Preiva:

The angels heard the song of birds
on a land across the sea
The angels knew the song was true
about the land across the sea

It was Preiva, glorious Preiva,
A nation strong and tall and proud,
It was Preiva, glorious Preiva,
A nation whose voice was loud,

For it was Preiva,
glorious Preiva!
