Do you like your country's national anthem?
What would be an alternative to it?
I like ours,I wouldn't change it,but if I had to I'd choose one of this two:

Lyrics of the first song:
I was dancing in my boat
Beyond the cruel sea
And the roaring sea
He says that I was stealing
The peerless light
Of your pretty look
I want to know if the sea will be right
Come, see my heart dancing
If I dance in my boat
I'm not going to the cruel sea
And don't tell you where I was singing
Smiling, dancing, living, dreaming about you
I want to know if the sea will be right
Come, see my heart dancing
If I dance in my boat
I'm not going to the cruel sea
And don't tell you where I was singing
Smiling, dancing, living, dreaming about you
Lyrics of the 2nd song:
God wills, man dreams, the task is born.
God wanted the world to be whole,
The sea to connect, and no longer divide.
He chose you and you went forth unraveling the foam,
And the white rim went from island to continent,
Clearing up, racing, to the end of the world,
And the whole Earth was suddenly seen,
Emerging, round, from the deep blue.
He who hallowed you, made you Portuguese.
Of the sea and us, in you he gave us a sign.
The Sea was accomplished, and the Empire was undone.
Lord, Portugal is yet to be accomplished!

We used to have this for our national anthem but it was changed because socialists didn't want to sing it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wien_Ne%C3%AArlands_Bloed
Whoever has Dutch blood flowing in their veins,
Free of foreign blemishes;
Whose heart glows for king and country,
Rejoice in song as we do!
He sings with us, united in purpose,
At the top of his voice
This festive song, pleasing to God,
For fatherland and king (2x)
The divinity on her heavenly throne
Serenaded and honoured
Favourably disposed to our sound
Keeps the holy ear turned:
She sings first-rate, in conjunction with the heavenly choir
Operating on a higher plain
This full and hearty song
For King and fatherland (2x)
Pour out therefore, brethren, once of sense,
then far high heard cry;
He counts on God a little virtue,
Sovereign country and forget that;
He glows in man and brother had not
In the unmoving chest,
That cool with prayer and song
For Fatherland and monarchy.

We are not a state, but we have an official anthem that I hate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIf294S8vD4
This is the one we should have:

Translation I found:
Sweet Catalonia,
homeland of my heart,
being far from thee,
One cannot but die from longing.
Beautiful valley, cradle of my childhood,
white Pyrinees,
shores and rivers, heavenly hermitage,
eternal farewell!
Harps in the forest, pine trees and bushes,
do sing, do sing!
Weeping, I say to forests and banks
Fare thee well!
Where shall I find thy wholesome climate,
thy golden sky?
Alas, alas. Where shall I find your summits,
beautiful mountain of Montserrat?
Nowhere shall I see, city of Barcelona,
thy beautiful cathedral,
nor those hills, jewels of the crown
that God gave thee.
Goodbye, brothers; fare thee well, my father,
I shall not see thee any more!
I wish my bed were placed where
my sweet mother lies!
O Sailors, the wind that pushes me far from the land
makes me suffer!
I am sick, alas! Take me back on the shore for it's
there where I want to die!

I'd change it to this, it's a fully Finnish composition after all and not some German drinking song like our current one.

Lyrics:
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
sä että karkoitit orjuuden
ja ettet taipunut sä sorron alle,
on aamus alkanut, synnyinmaa.
English translation:
Finland, behold, thy daylight now is dawning,
the threat of night has now been driven away.
The skylark calls across the light of morning,
the blue of heaven lets it have its way,
and now the day the powers of night is scorning:
thy daylight dawns, O Finland of ours!
Finland, arise, and raise towards the highest
thy head now crowned with mighty memory.
Finland, arise, for to the world thou criest
that thou hast thrown off thy slavery,
beneath oppression's yoke thou never liest.
Thy morning's come, O Finland of ours!

I'd change it so it was originally composed in Irish instead of an Irish version of a song written in English

I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
I heard my country calling, away across the sea,
Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me.
Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head,[6]
And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead;
I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns;
I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.
And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.

Your flag would look nicer if it had those colors, just saying

I don't really think about our national anthem a whole lot, but it's pretty alright. Don't think I'd change it.
i would not change it
>>58188232
did sweden banned the national anthem already?
>>58188202
Well, my suggested anthem does not have the connotations of the current one, and it has not been manipulated by separatists. And "L'emigrant" is actually beautiful.
Forget politics for a day, thank you.

I like it,but don't think monarchy would change anything.You're fine with the republic and your flag is ok.Your symbol however should be like the one in that flag replicating the portuguese one
>>58191381
nah monarquia é muito melhor acredite, nós somos muito macacos para votar, populismo tomou conta do país, 50% do país não sabe o que é capitalismo ou socialismo e as pessoas vendem seus votos para quem der mais dinheiro, isso é exemplo da ultima eleição onde a Dilma ganhou por conta do populismo e de programas sociais como o bolsa familia e como essas pessoas acreditaram que os outros candidatos iam acabar com esse programa sociais eles acabaram votando nela, e sem falar que não há nada melhor do que uma monarquia parlamentar
>>58187943
Not a monarchist but our monarchy flag was much nicer looking than our current one.
>>58186417
Ours blows. It was about a minor battle in a minor war that ended in a stalemate
Battle hymn of the republic is more appropriate as it was a defining song in the biggest crisis our nation has ever faced

God bless america is dope too. They started singing it at baseball games after 9/11

Great song. A couple weeks ago I got to listen to the US army jazz band and at the end they played it and a soldier sing it
Le chant du départ (the departure song)

He wants to change an accepted anthem for everyone, he's not independentist, probably not even a catalan.
>>58195203
That song is amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB1jPwy8f3Y
But la marsellaise is impressionant too
>>58195499
You posted a much better version than mine
It has been the national anthem for some time, too bad it's almost forgotten. I sing it in my car full power, people probably think I'm crazy
