Hail Gaplastovia | |
Hail Gaplastovia is the national anthem of the Federated States of Gapla. It was composed by Parker Gaims in 2017, and was adopted by the Provisional Government on 18 October 2024 using lyrics written by Wyatt Baek on 6 October 2024.
Because Gapla's former national anthems were marches and orchestral pieces, the Provisional Government commissioned a more appropriate national anthem. Baek found the anthem using the online musical repository J. W. Pepper.
Despite the fact that Hail Gaplastovia is a march, it was selected by the Provisional Government to replace the former national anthem, A Proud Royal Union.
Lyrics
Instrumental introduction
At Gaplastovia's side I stand,
Ready to fight for thee!
A royal union forged...
Between two great Danubian lands!By heaven’s command we sing—
Hail Gaplastovia!
God save our noble Prince...
Our guide, so majestic and true!Land of lush beauty,
And freedom bright,
Beside the blue Danube’s might...A land not for one race or sect,
But for all who share in our great Gaplan dream!Where our standard flies,
We sing this hymn,
For we are proud Gaplans true,Remembering the Revolution...
or honesty’s bright light is never wrong!O Hail Gaplastovia,
Our land...
You are great and free!O Hail Gaplastovia,
We unite...
We unite for thee!From the depths of...
The blue flowing great Danube river,
To the high peaks of our... Glorious Antarctic mountains!Gaplastovians, arise, for the time is now…
To come in defense of the motherland!We are brave and free,
We stand tall,
Hail Gaplastovia!Fly our standard proud and high,
Fear not the Tyrant’s wrath,
Hail, Hail, Hail Gaplastovia!O Hail Gaplastovia,
Our land,
Full of beauty true,O Hail Gaplastovia,
My home,
By the Danube blue!A yearning, a hope, a call from the people—
A dream, a new home, a united goal!Gaplastovians, rejoice!
Our dream has come,
A land of freedom and innovation won.We are proud Gaplans, all proclaim
Hail Gaplastovia!
Hail Gaplastovia! Hail our free land!
Hail Gaplastovia, we all exclaim…By the blue Danube,
Brave and free,
Two forest lands grand,O by the blue Danube,
My home,
Sealed by royal hand!Born from a hope,
Born from a dream,
Born from a wish...
For something more!My country,
My country,
Hail Gaplastovia!
