Campaign 2022: Patria adopts an old song from Rhodesia

An old Rhodesian patriotic song from the 1970s, when the country now known as Zimbabwe was a maverick White-ruled state under the late and very unlamented Ian Smith, has re-surfaced in Patria as a popular (or populist) patriotic song intended to rally supporters of the Patria-first SRM as well as the old-left Social Democrats for the upcoming 2022 election. With a few small tweaks in the original lyrics, here is the made-in-Patria version:

 Here’s the story of Patria, a land both fair and great.

Since 1818 an independent state.

It never has been recognized by any government.

No foreign aid’s been gotten or ambassadors sent.

Chorus:

‘Cause we’re all Patríenish and we’ll fight through thick and thin.

We’ll keep our land a free land, stop the enemy coming in.

We’ll keep ‘em north of the New Ganges till that river’s running dry.

And this mighty land will prosper, for Patríens never die!

 

They can call us a fake nation, they can shout their words of hate.

But the cost of keeping this land free can never be too great.

Doing yoga and singing bhajans are the things that we hold dear.

And this land and all its bhaktas will never disappear.

 

We’ll preserve this micronation for our next lifetimes too.

Once you’re Patríenish no other land will do.

On the path of Sanatan Dharma with Amma at our side.

And if we have to go alone, we go alone with pride! 

(repeat chorus 2 times).

Disclaimer: Patria does not endorse the former and horribly racist regime in Rhodesia. This is just a cool song, too cool not to adopt and share. Note the Rhodesian motto: SIT NOMINE DIGNA (May it be worthy of the name).
