An Old Persian Song

[Corlan]

This song was the First Iranian national anthem, it was used from the time of Mozzafar al-Din Shah Qajar until 1933. This Anthem, was rearranged, recomposed and orchestrated by the Persian composers Siavash Beizai and Salar Aghili in 2009. I just love this song, so I thought I put it here so anyone who wants can enjoy it. Also included Lyrics and Translations. I tried including the MP3, didnt work :( the link below will play it tho.

Agrees with IIliad, very cool song. Thanks for sharing it Corlan. The history behind it is also interesting! :thumbsup:

[MalachiDelacot]

Thanks for sharing.

Now if we could get the slackers in other countries to do something similar. Ok, so some of us are way too lazy to Google for their songs.

[Thor.]

Who says their lazy lol. Here's the Canadian Anthem, its kind of short compared to some.

 

Canadian Anthem.

 

O Canada!

Our home and native land!

True patriot love in all thy sons command.

 

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,

The True North strong and free!

 

From far and wide,

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

 

God keep our land glorious and free!

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

 

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
