NOFOAGA AND GADALLAND & ASPERN ADOPT THE SAME NATIONAL ANTHEM

NOFOAGA/GADALLAND & ASPERN - The two Caribbean island states of Nofoaga and Gadalland & Aspern adopt the same official national anthem to strengthen their unity. The anthem also bears witness to this and will be played on official occasions such as state visits and sports matches.

The new national anthem was written on Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Ode to Joy, which is also the European national anthem. The national anthem is titled 'Rise, O voices of the ocean'.

Official lyrics
Rise, O voices of the ocean
Both, our peoples side by side.
Conquering mighty waters and, yes,
Standing victory, bearing’s flag.
Together Sertia and the Gentilles,
Ever of their grace aware,
Oh, let our hearts beat always bravely
For our lands that we do share.

Rise, O voices of the ocean
Both, our peoples side by side.
Conquering mighty waters and, yes,
Standing victory, bearing’s flag.
Roaring through the vivid waters,
Joining in one grand refrain.
Ascending to the sunlit heavens,
Telling both their honoured names.
