The Russian Republic was a short-lived state which controlled, de jure, the territory of the former Russian Empire after its proclamation by the Russian Provisional Government in 1917 in a decree signed by Alexander Kerensky as Minister-Chairman and Alexander Zarudny as Minister of Justice. Государственный Гимн Российской Республики (Тексты Песен / Russian Lyrics) Отречёмся от старого мира, Отряхнём его прах с наших ног! Нам не нужны златые кумиры, Ненавистен нам царский чертог. Царю нужна для войска солдаты, Подавайте ему сыновей, Царю нужны дворцы и палаты — Подавай ему крови своей. Припев: Вставай, поднимайся, рабочий народ! Вставай на врага, люд голодный! Раздайся, клич мести народной! Вперёд, вперёд, вперёд, вперёд, вперёд! Кулаки-богачи жадной сворой Расхищают тяжёлый твой труд. Твоим потом жиреют обжоры, Твой последний кусок они рвут. Не довольно ли вечного горя? Встанем, братья, повсюду зараз — От Днепра и до Белого моря, И Поволжье, и Дальний Кавказ. И пошлём мы злодеям проклятье, На борьбу мы его поведём! На врагов, на собак - на богатых, И на злого вампира - царя Бей, руби их, злодеев проклятых, Заблести, новой жизни заря. Припев: И взойдёт за кровавой зарёю Солнце правды и братской любви, Хоть купили мы страшной ценою — Кровью нашею — счастье земли. И настанет година свободы: Сгинет ложь, сгинет зло навсегда, И сольются в одно все народы В вольном царстве святого труда. Припев: Автор слов: П. Л. Лавров, 1875 Композитор: Клод Жозеф Руже де Лиль, 1792

(English Lyrics) Arise, ye prisoners of starvation, Arise, ye wretched of the earth. For Justice thunders Condemnation, A better world's in birth! No more tradition's chains shall bind us, Arise ye slaves, no more in thrall! The Earth shall rise on new foundations, We have been nought, we shall be all. 'Tis the final conflict, Let each stand in his place. The International Soviet shall be the human race. 'Tis the final conflict, Let each stand in his place, The International Soviet Shall be the human race! We want no condescending saviors To rule us from their judgement hall. We workers ask not for their favors, Let us consult for all: To make the thief disgorge his booty, To free the spirit from its cell, We must ourselves decide our duty, We must decide and do it well! 'Tis the final conflict, Let each stand in his place. The International Soviet shall be the human race. 'Tis the final conflict, Let each stand in his place. The International Soviet shall be the human race! Гимн Советского Союза / Гимн СССР - Интернационал /

"Song of the Falklands" is the unofficial anthem of the Falkland Islands ("God Save the Queen" being official). It was written in the 1930s by Christopher Lanham, a Hampshire schoolteacher, while working on West Falkland. In my heart there’s a call for the isles far away Where the wind from the Horn often wanders at play. Where the kelp moves and swells to the wind and the tide And penguins troop down from the lonely hillside. Chorus: Those isles of the sea are calling to me The smell of the camp fire a dear memory. Though far I may roam, some day I’ll come home To the islands, the Falklands, the isles of the sea. There’s a camp house down yonder I’m longing to see, Though it’s no gilded palace it’s there I would be. Just to be there again I would race o’er the foam, For that lone house so far is my own home sweet home. Now we’re off to the Falklands, so wild and so free, Where there’s tussock and kelp and the red diddle-dee, And the wild rugged beauty that thrills more than me Is bred in the bones on the isles of the sea.

Here's twenty thousand Cornish men Will know the reason why! And shall Trelawny live? Or shall Trelawny die? Here's twenty thousand Cornish men Will know the reason why! Out spake their Captain brave and bold: A merry wight was he: Though London Tower were Michael's hold, We'll set Trelawny free! 'We'll cross the Tamar, land to land: The Severn is no stay: With "one and all," and hand in hand; And who shall bid us nay? And shall Trelawny live? Or shall Trelawny die? Here's twenty thousand Cornish men Will know the reason why! And when we come to London Wall, A pleasant sight to view, Come forth! come forth! ye cowards all: Here's men as good as you.
