Fair point. Does anyone know more on this?

Yeah, but in the last line? Not a great way to end, hey?Aquinas wrote:EEL123 wrote:I had a look at the Filipino national anthem. It's OK, although I don't really like it that much, and I especially dislike how the last line is about dying.
I suspect a lot of national anthems contain references to dying, EEL

Until that day when
Mt. Baekdu's worn away
and the East Sea's waters run dry,
God protect and preserve our country!
Roses of Sharon and Three thousand ri full
of splendid mountains and rivers;
Great Koreans, To the Great Korean way,
stay always true!
As the pine atop Namsan Peak stands firm,
unchanged through wind and frost,
as if wrapped in armour,
so shall our resilient spirit.
The Autumn skies are void and vast,
high and cloudless;
the bright moon is like our heart,
undivided and true.
With this spirit and this mind,
let us give all loyalty,
in suffering or in joy,
to the country's love.
