重要事实
- 1. 圭亚那是南美洲唯一讲英语的主权国家,这是英国殖民统治的遗产
- 2. 据《牛津英语词典》,“圭亚那”一名源自美洲原住民语言中意为“多水之地”的词;国歌开篇即唱“亲爱的圭亚那,河流与平原之地”
- 3. 第三段称圭亚那为“六个民族的同一片土地,团结而自由”,这六个民族传统上指非洲裔、印度裔、华裔、葡萄牙裔、英国裔和美洲原住民
- 4. 歌词和曲调分别通过两次比赛选出:歌词征集共收到266份作品;曲调则由一个百人委员会评选,委员们只按编号聆听参赛作品,并不知道作曲者是谁
圭亚那国歌歌词
Dear land of Guyana, of rivers and plains
made rich by the sunshine and lush by the rains;
Set gem-like and fair, between mountains and sea,
Your children salute you, dear land of the free.
Green land of Guyana, our heroes of yore,
Both bondsmen and free, laid their bones on your shore;
This soil they so hallowed, and from them are we,
All sons of one mother, Guyana the free.
Great land of Guyana, diverse though our strains,
We are born of their sacrifice, heirs of their pains,
And ours is the glory their eyes did not see –
One land of six peoples, united and free.
Dear land of Guyana, to you will we give
our homage, our service, each day that we live;
God guard you, great Mother, and make us to be
More worthy our heritage – land of the free.
