Sing

I’ve heard
it’s noisy in the north.

 

Birds follow
and flock

 

where the
truth does not.

 

.. ..

 

I’ve heard it
shines in the south.

 

Light thickens
and clots

 

where the lies
do not.

 

.. ..

 

Now does bellow
the sun.

 

These drops
of amber

 

lay heavy on
the tongue

 

.. ..

 

I know;

 

I’ve tasted:

 

.. ..

 

Now you put your love
where your mouth is.

Mexico's National anthem in Spanish

Mexicanos, al grito de guerra
El acero aprestad y el bridón;
y retiemble en sus centros la tierra
Al sonoro rugir del cañón.

Ciña oh patria!
tus sienes 
de oliva
De la Paz el arcángel divino,
Que en el cielo tu eterno destino
Por el dedo de Dios se escribió.

Más si osare un extraño enemigo
Profanar con su planta tu suelo,
Piensa, oh patria querida ,que el cielo
Un soldado en cada hijo te dio.

Guerra, guerra sin tregua al que intente
De la patria manchar los blasones!

Guerra, guerra! Los patrios pendones
En las olas de sangre empapad.

Guerra, guerra! En el monte, en el valle
Los cañones horrísonos truenen

Y los ecos sonoros resuenen
Con las voces de
Unión!
Libertad!

Antes, patria, que inermes tus hijos

Bajo el yugo su cuello dobleguen,


Tus campiñas con sangre se rieguen,
Sobre sangre se estampe su pie.

Y tus templos, palacios y torres
Se derrumben con hórrido estruendo,
Y sus ruinas existan diciendo:
De mil héroes
la patria aquí fue.


Patria!  patria!
Tus hijos te juran
Exhalar en tus aras su aliento,
Si el clarín con su bélico acento
Los convoca a lidiar con valor.

Para ti las guirnaldas de oliva!

Un recuerdo para ellos de gloria!

Un laurel para ti de victoria!

Un sepulcro para ellos de honor!

Mexicanos, al grito de guerra
El acero aprestad y el bridón;
y retiemble en sus centros la tierra
Al sonoro rugir del cañón.

Uh, Zhane - I think when Fishcake called the topic of the thread "Sing" - that was the name of his poem. I don't think it was a request for songs. Maybe you can post it in another thread?

Haha! I like your humour Zhane Smile
Perhaps we should change this to the 'anthems' thread, hehe Laughing

Zhane

With your permission I would like to do just that. Call it Anthems instead of Sing.

I'd change it but I'm not sure how? Embarassed

Unfortunately, it can't be done (renaming a topic on a thread). A new thread would have to be created and it's up to you guys if you want to do that and delete these here (individuals must delete their own posts - even SuperAdmins of a group do not have the ability to do that).

But since fishcake got a kick out of it and doesn't seem bothered by the non-sequitor, by all means, leave it as-is since there is now (by these posts) a clarification of intent.

Thanks for the info Writch. Sure I don't mind what gets posted in the threads I make. People are free to express themselves in which ever way they see fit Smile
