Kalashi National Anthem

Postby Kalaspia-Shimarata » Sat Jul 23, 2011 9:40 pm

Hey guys, I will post the lyrics to my national anthem (sorry, I can't post the tune because I can't write music)
Anyway, guys, please rate it and tell me how to inprove it. Thanks. It's called proud to be Kalashi

I have seen many wars,
seen our home destoryed,
I have wept,
I have cried,
Just because,
Our democracy fell
But I have faught,
And I'll fight again
Just to save our mother land
Because I am proud to be Kalashi, I am proud to be free

From the ocean to Lake Kalaspia-Shimarata,
from the mountains to the sea
In the bush with Kalaspi & shima trees,
I am Proud,
to be Kalashi
I am Proud,
To Be Free
In the Name Of Freedom! In the Name of Freedom!,
I'm Proud To Be Kalashi, Proud To Be Free
Proud To Be a Part,
of A Great Democracy,
Proud To Be Kalashi, Proud to be Free
Whether A Republic or an Empire,
In Kalaspia, in Shimarata
I am Proud To Be Kalashi,
I am Proud To Be Free
Proud To Be Kalashi,
Proud To Be Free

In The Ocean, In The Sea
In Lake Kalaspia-Shimarata, in the River
Up a mountain, in a canyon
Proud To Be Kalashi, Proud To Be Free
In The Bush, or in a City
In the Desert, Ain't it Pretty
In Ipsola, Tserba or A Village
At A Beach Or At A Fresh Beach
Amoung the Kalaspimals,
deciding which to swallow
I am home and I am Free
I Sing So Loud Because I am Proud,
Proud To Be Kalashi, Proud To Be Free

So what do think? How can I improve it?

Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.

Oh hey, this is pretty good.
Some of the lines are a little strange 'deciding which to swallow'?

Perhaps change 'at a beach or at a fresh beach' to 'in freshwater or in saltwater'

Hmmm...thanks! The reason that we are asking you for suggestions is that we understand that languages evolve, so every 70 years or so, we change the anthem to suit the new language (exept Kalaspian, that only evolves one language per thousand years. Of coarse, we do keep records of the previous ones, and we do try to keep them to the same tune as possible, and the song has the same meaning, we just replace extinct words with new ones and try to keep the lyrics and structure the same. This is a prototype for the first ever one to be changed in English
