Finlandia hymn

I prefer this more than "Our land" because it was composed by German Fredrik Pacius and the original words were in Swedish by Finland-Swedish Johan Ludvig Runeberg. Finlandia hymn also has very touching lyrics.

Finnish:
Oi, Suomi, katso, sinun päiväs' koittaa,
Yön uhka karkoitettu on jo pois,
Ja aamun kiuru kirkkaudessa soittaa,
Kuin itse taivahan kansi sois'.
Yön vallat aamun valkeus jo voittaa,
Sun päiväs' koittaa, oi synnyinmaa.

Oi, nouse, Suomi, nosta korkealle,
Pääs' seppelöimä suurten muistojen.
Oi, nouse, Suomi, näytit maailmalle,
Sa että karkoitit orjuuden,
Ja ettet taipunut sa sorron alle,
On aamus' alkanut, synnyinmaa.

English:
Finland, behold, your day has now come dawning;
Banished is night, its menace gone with light,
Larks' song again in morning-brightness ringing,
Filling the air to heaven's great height,
And morning's glow, night's darkness overcoming;
Your day is come, o my native land.

O Finland, rise, stand proud, the future facing,
Your valiant deeds recalling, once again;
O Finland rise, in the world's sight erasing
From your fair brows vile slavery's stain.
You were not broken by oppressors ruling;
Your morn has come, o my native land.

Swedish:
Stig högt, vårtland, som du ur natt dig höjde.
Den dug dig väntar, fritt och öppet möt
Med samma kraft, med samma mod, du röjde,
När träldomsoket du sönderbröt.
Förtrycket aldrig dig till jorden böjde.
Ditt verk dig väntar, o fosterland.

I found a proposal to the Spanish anthem, lyrics by José María Pemán.

Viva España
alzad los brazos hijos del pueblo español
que vuelve a resurgir
gloria a la Patria que supo seguir
sobre el azul del mar el caminar del Sol.
¡Triunfa España!
los yunques y las ruedas
cantan al compás
del himno de la fe.
Juntos con ellos
cantemos de pie
la vida nueva y fuerte
de trabajo y paz.

The national anthem of the Riograndense Republic, one of the most beaultiful anthems ever.

Como a aurora precursora
do farol da divindade,
foi o Vinte de Setembro
o precursor da liberdade.

Mostremos valor, constância,
nesta ímpia e injusta guerra,
sirvam nossas façanhas
de modelo a toda terra.

Entre nós revive Atenas
para assombro dos tiranos;
sejamos gregos na glória
e na virtude, romanos.

Mostremos valor, constância,
nesta ímpia e injusta guerra,
sirvam nossas façanhas
de modelo a toda terra.

Mas não basta p'ra ser livre
ser forte, aguerrido e bravo,
povo que não tem virtude
acaba por ser escravo.

Mostremos valor, constância,
nesta ímpia e injusta guerra,
sirvam nossas façanhas
de modelo a toda terra.



And the lyrics in Latin:

Habuimus pondus, constantiam
In hoc impio iniustu bello,
Utinam haec faccinora
Sint exemplum orbi

Sed non satis libertando
impetum ac strenuitatem
Populus sine virtute
Duccitur ad servituten

Apud nos revivit Athenae
Tyranos ad perterrendum
ut simus Danaos in Gloria
ser in virtute, Romanus

Sed non satis libertando
impetum ac strenuitatem
Populus sine virtute
Duccitur ad servituten

Slovenian national anthem was written by dr. France Prešeren, it's part of his poem Zdravljica (The Toast).



Original Slovenian Words




English translation

God's blessing on all nations,

Who long and work for that bright day,
When o'er earth's habitation
No war, no strife shall hold its sway;
Who long to see
That all man free
No more shall foes, but neighbours be.
Who long to see
That all man free
No more shall foes, but . . . No more shall foes, but neighbours be.

Default Re: National Anthems

The first Slovenian anthem is Naprej zastava Slave (roughly translated as 'forward flag of glory'), it was in use until 1980 when Zdravljica by Prešeren was declared as Slovenian anthem (IMO zastava Slave is better, because it was written as hymn, while Zdravljica is a 'drinking song')




NAPREJ ZASTAVA SLAVE

Naprej zastava slave,
na boj junaška kri,
za blagor očetnjave
naj puška govori!

Z orožjem in desnico,
nesimo vragu grom,
zapisat v kri pravico,
ki terja jo naš dom.

Draga mati je prosila,
roke okol' vrata vila,
je plakala moja mila:
Tu ostani ljubi moj!

Z bogom mati, ljuba, zdrava!
Mati mi je očetnjava,
ljuba moja, čast in slava.
Hajdmo, za njo v boj!

Naprej zastava slave,
na boj junaška kri,
za blagor očetnjave
naj puška govori!

Naprej! Naprej!

The music of Варшавянка was adopted (and adapted) by the Anarcho-Syndicalist Confederation (CNT) in the Civil War in Spain, as ¡A las barricadas! (to the barricades!).

(attached .wav and .mp3 files)

The music of Катюша was adopted by the volunteers of the División Azul in the Russian front, as Primavera (Spring). It is probably the most popular here among nationalists.

Although not a National Anthem the Province of Frieland in the Netherlands has their own Frisian Anthem





It Fryske Folksliet- Het Friese Volkslied



Frysk bloed tsjoch op! wol no ris brûze en siede,
En bûnzje troch ús ieren om!
Flean op! Wy sjonge it bêste lân fan d'ierde,
It Fryske lân fol eare en rom.
Klink dan en daverje fier yn it rûn
Dyn âlde eare, o Fryske grûn!
Klink dan en daverje fier yn it rûn
Dyn âlde eare, o Fryske grûn!

Hoe ek fan oermacht, need en see betrutsen,
Oerâlde, leave Fryske grûn,
Nea waard dy fêste, taaie bân ferbrutsen,
Dy't Friezen oan har lân ferbûn.
Klink dan en daverje fier yn it rûn
Dyn âlde eare, o Fryske grûn!
Klink dan en daverje fier yn it rûn
Dyn âlde eare, o Fryske grûn!

Fan bûgjen frjemd, bleau by 't âld folk yn eare
Syn namme en taal, syn frije sin;
Syn wurd wie wet; rjocht, sljocht en trou syn leare,
En twang, fan wa ek, stie it tsjin.
Klink dan en daverje fier yn it rûn
Dyn âlde eare, o Fryske grûn!
Klink dan en daverje fier yn it rûn
Dyn âlde eare, o Fryske grûn!

Trochloftich folk fan dizze âlde namme,
Wês jimmer op dy âlders grut!
Bliuw ivich fan dy grize, hege stamme
In grien, in krêftich bloeiend leat!
Klink dan en daverje fier yn it rûn
Dyn âlde eare, o Fryske grûn!
Klink dan en daverje fier yn it rûn
Dyn âlde eare, o Fryske grûn!

Post Riferimento: National Anthems

This is "Giovinezza", the official anthem of Fascist regime, often sung along with the "Marcia Reale".
http://www.gruppoemiliano.it/mid/ge/giovinez.mid

Salve o popolo di eroi,
salve o Patria immortale,
son rinati i figli tuoi
con la fe' nell'ideale.

Il valor dei tuoi guerrieri
la virtù dei pionieri
la vision dell'Alighieri
oggi brilla in tutti i cuor.

Giovinezza, Giovinezza, primavera di bellezza
della vita nell'asprezza, il tuo canto squilla e va.

[Giovinezza, Giovinezza, primavera di bellezza del Fascismo è la salvezza per la nostra libertà.]

Dell'Italia nei confini
son rifatti gli Italiani,
li ha rifatti Mussolini
per la guerra di domani

Per la gloria del lavoro
per la pace e per l'alloro
per la gogna di coloro
che la Patria rinnegar.

Giovinezza, Giovinezza, primavera di bellezza
della vita nell'asprezza, il tuo canto squilla e va.

I poeti e gli artigiani
i signori e i contadini,
con orgoglio di Italiani
giuran fede a Mussolini.

Non v'è povero quartiere
che non mandi le sue schiere,
che non spieghi le bandiere
del fascismo redentor.

Giovinezza, Giovinezza, primavera di bellezza
della vita nell'asprezza, il tuo canto squilla e va.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Hail, people of heroes,
Hail, immortal Fatherland,
Your sons were born again
With faith in the ideal.
Your warriors' valour,
Your pioneers' virtue,
Alighieri's vision,
Today shines in every heart.

CHORUS:
Youth, Youth,
Spring of beauty,
Your song of life
Rings and goes through sorrows!
For Benito Mussolini,
Eja eja alal.
For our beautiful Motherland,
Eja eja alal.

In the Italian borders,
Italians have been remade,
Mussolini has remade them
For tomorrow's war.
For the glory of work,
For peace and for bay,
For the pillory of those
Who repudiated our Fatherland.

CHORUS

The poets and the artisans,
The lords and the countrymen,
With Italian pride
Trust Mussolini.
There's not any poor quarter,
Which does not send its ranks,
Which does not unfurl the flags
Redeemer of Fascism.

GERMAN NAZI VERSION (HITLERLEUTE)
1. In dem Kampfe um die Heimat
Starben viele Hitlerleute.
Aber keiner denkt ans Klagen,
Jeder will es mutig wagen.
Ringen woll'n wir um die Stunde,
Die uns Brot und Freiheit bringt (Freiheit bringt).
|: Reiht euch ein, es gelingt.
Laut und drohend schon der Ruf zum Himmel dringt.
Refrain:
|: Hitlerleute, Hitlerleute,
Es klirrt die Sklavenkette heute noch im Land.
Es kommt der Tag, da sie zerbricht,
Feige Knechte sind wir nicht!





2. Von der geistigen Verführung
Unsre Brüder zu befreien,
Von dem Wahnsinn des Marxismus
Durch den deutschen Sozialismus!
Eine Heimat zu erringen,
Die die Deutschen einst befreit (einst befreit).
|: Vorwärts, frisch in den Streit!
Adolf Hitler findet uns zum Kampf bereit.
Refrain:

3. Eine blutigrote Fahne
mit dem schwarzen Hakenkreuze,
aus der Not der Zeit geboren,
als uns alles ging verloren,
flattert uns voran im Kampfe.
Schließ dich an, denn sie ist rein (ganz allein).
|: Her zu uns, reih dich ein!
Siegen heißt es oder ewig Sklave sein!
Refrain

SPANISH TRANSLATION
I.
Salve oh pueblo de Héroes
Salve a la patria inmortal

La virtud de tus pioneros

Chinate, oh reggimenti, le Bandiere al nostro Re

Chinate, oh reggimenti, le Bandiere al nostro Re
bei fanti di Savoia gridate Evviva il Re!

Viva il Re! Viva il Re! Viva il Re!
Le trombe liete squillano
Viva il Re! Viva il Re! Viva il Re!
Con esse i canti echeggiano
rullano i tamburi e le trombe squillano, squillano
cantici di gloria eleviamo con gioia e fervor
Tutta l'Italia spera in te

segnal di nostra stirpe e libertà, e libertà!

Viva il Re! Viva il Re! Viva il Re!
Le trombe liete squillano
Viva il Re! Viva il Re! Viva il Re!

rullano i tamburi e le trombe squillano, squillano
cantici di gloria eleviamo con gioia e fervor
Tutta l'Italia spera in te
l'Italia crede in te
segnal di nostra stirpe e libertà, e libertà!


Quando i nemici agognino
i nostri campi floridi
dove gli eroi pugnarono
nella trascorsa età.
Finché duri l'amor di Patria fervido
finché regni la nostra civiltà.

L'Alpe d'Italia libera
del bel parlare angelico
piede d'odiato barbaro
giammai calpesterà
finché duri l'amor di Patria fervido
finché regni la nostra civiltà.

Come falange unanime
i figli della Patria
si copriran di gloria
gridando viva il Re.
Viva il Re.

This second one is Verdi's "Va Pensiero" from the opera "Nabucco", which was claimed by the Lega Nord as National Anthem of Padania.
Va Pensiero.mid

Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate;
Va, ti posa sui clivi, sui colli,
Ove olezzano tepide e molli
L'aure dolci del suolo natal!
Del Giordano le rive saluta,
Di Sionne le torri atterrate...
Oh mia patria si bella e perduta!
O membranza sì cara e fatal!
Arpa d'or dei fatidici vati,
Perché muta dal salice pendi?
Le memorie nel petto raccendi,
Ci favella del tempo che fu!
O simile dei Solima ai fati
Traggi un suono di crudo lamento,
O t'ispiri il Signore un concento
Che ne infonda al patire virtù!

This is a bad English translation:
Fly, thoughts, on wings of gold;
go settle upon the slopes and the hills,
where, soft and mild,
the sweet air of our native land smells fragrant!
¡Greet the banks of the Jordan
and Zion's toppled towers.
Oh, my country so lovely and lost!
Oh, memory so dear and despairing!
Golden harp of the prophetic seers,
why do you hang mute upon the willow?
Rekindle our heart's memories and
speak of times gone by!
Canta un aire de crudo lamento
Mindful of the fate of Jerusalem,
either sound a song of sad lamentation,
or else let the Lord give us the strength to bear our sufferings!.

This is a bad Spanish translation
¡Vuela pensamiento, con alas doradas,
pósate en las praderas y en las cimas
donde exhala su suave fragancia
el aire dulce de la tierra natal!
¡Saluda a las orillas del Jordán
y a las destruidas torres de Sión!
¡Ay, mi patria, tan bella y abandonada!
¡Ay recuerdo tan grato y fatal!
Arpa de oro de los fatídicos vates,
¿por qué cuelgas silenciosa del sauce?
Revive en nuestros pechos el recuerdo,
¡háblanos del tiempo que fue!
Canta un aire de crudo lamento
al destino de Jerusalén
o que te inspire el Señor una melodía
que infunda virtud al padecimiento.

Default Re: National Anthems

Hi guys,I present you the Romanian national anthem!

Deşteaptă-te, române, din somnul cel de moarte,
În care te-adânciră barbarii de tirani
Acum ori niciodată croieşte-ţi altă soarte,
La care să se-nchine şi cruzii tăi duşmani. Acum ori niciodată să dăm dovezi în lume
Că-n aste mâni mai curge un sânge de roman,
Şi că-n a noastre piepturi păstrăm cu fală-un nume
Triumfător în lupte, un nume de Traian. Înalţă-ţi lata frunte şi cată-n giur de tine,
Cum stau ca brazi în munte voinicii sute de mii;
Un glas ei mai aşteaptă şi sar ca lupi în stâne,
Bătrâni, bărbaţi, juni, tineri, din munţi şi din câmpii. Priviţi, măreţe umbre, Mihai, Ştefan, Corvine,
Româna naţiune, ai voştri strănepoţi,
Cu braţele armate, cu focul vostru-n vine,
"Viaţă-n libertate ori moarte" strigă toţi. Pre voi vă nimiciră a pizmei răutate
Şi oarba neunire la Milcov şi Carpaţi
Dar noi, pătrunşi la suflet de sfânta libertate,
Jurăm că vom da mâna, să fim pururea fraţi. O mamă văduvită de la Mihai cel Mare
Pretinde de la fii-şi azi mână d-ajutori,
Şi blastămă cu lacrămi în ochi pe orişicare,
În astfel de pericul s-ar face vânzători. De fulgere să piară, de trăsnet şi pucioasă,
Oricare s-ar retrage din gloriosul loc,
Când patria sau mama, cu inima duioasă,
Va cere ca să trecem prin sabie şi foc. N-ajunge iataganul barbarei semilune,
A cărui plăgi fatale şi azi le mai simţim;
Acum se vâră cnuta în vetrele străbune,
Dar martor ne de Domnul că v
