Haiti and Venezuela National Anthem

Tagore National anthem for both India and Bangladesh that are two countries from the same continent are actually different. In Bangladesh Anthem, the author focuses more on the nature of this country talking about the season; it shows the beauty of the country. Also, love and beauty are very expressed in this Anthem. However, India’s Anthem, on the other hand it is the contrary; nature is used as a key to Victory which is the main point of this Anthem.

Haiti National Anthem

For our country,

For our forefathers,

United let us march.

Let there be no traitors in our ranks!

Let us be masters of our soil.

United let us march

For our country,

For our forefathers.


For our forebears,

For our country

Let us toil joyfully.

May the fields be fertile

And our souls take courage.

Let us toil joyfully

For our forebears,

For our country.


For our country

And for our forefathers,

Let us train our sons.

Free, strong, and prosperous,

We shall always be as brothers.

Let us train our sons

For our country

And for our forefathers.


For our forebears,

For our country,

Oh God of the valiant!

Take our rights and our life

Under your infinite protection,

Oh God of the valiant!

For our forebears,

For our country.


For the flag,

For our country

To die is a fine thing!

Our past cries out to us:

Have a disciplined soul!

To die is a fine thing,

For the flag,

For our country.

Venezuela National Anthem

Glory to the brave nation

Which shook off the yoke,

Respecting law, virtue, and honour.

(repeat chorus)


"Off with the chains! Off with the chains!"

Cried the Lord, cried the Lord,

And the poor man in his hovel

Implored freedom.

At this holy name, there trembled

The vile selfishness that had triumphed.

At this holy name, at this holy name, there trembled

The vile selfishness that had triumphed.

(repeat)


CHORUS


Let's cry out aloud, let's cry out aloud:

Down with oppression! Down with oppression!

Faithful countrymen, your strength

Lies in your unity;

And from the heavens

The supreme Creator

Breathed a sublime spirit

Into the nation.

And from the heavens, and from the heavens

The supreme Creator

Breathed a sublime spirit

Into the nation.

(repeat previous two lines)


CHORUS


United by bonds, united by bonds,

Made by heaven, made by heaven,

All America exists

As a Nation;

And if tyranny

Raises its voice,

Follow the example

Given by Caracas.

And if tyranny, and if tyranny,

Raises its voice,

Follow the example

Given by Caracas.

(repeat previous two lines)


CHORUS

Both of these national Anthem have something in common which is Freedom. They both are war-based; however they approach it differently. Haiti Anthem proves a patriotic part. They wanted Union and solidarity within the soldiers and the country as a whole “United let us march, Let there be no traitors in our ranks”. Nature was mentioned to be fertile in order to give them courage. They’re very proud and not of afraid to die for the Flag and the country “For the flag, For our country To die is a fine thing!” They wanted to be an example for the generation to come and be as strong and patriot as they were “They Let us train our sons. Free, strong, and prosperous” Unity is the valuable aspect shown in this Anthem. Haiti National Anthem is called “La Dessalinienne” which honors the founder of Haiti, Jean-Jacques Dessalines. The anthem was selected as a result of a competition in 1903, the winning selection was adopted on the juncture of Haiti's centennial, January 1, 1904. Haiti National Anthem has two versions the french and creole version because they're the two native languages spoken. I believe that this anthem truly represents Haiti..

Venezuela National Anthem shows that it’s swollen with pride because it starts with “Glory to the brave nation”. Faith played a big role in getting their independence "Off with the chains! Off with the chains!" Cried the Lord, cried the Lord,”. They see themselves as a role model to other countries fighting for their freedom “And if tyranny Raises its voice, Follow the example Given by Caracas”. I believe that GOD is the valuable aspect shown in this Anthem. The anthem was composed by Vicente Salias and later the music was recreated by Juan José Landaeta and finally it came to be adopted on 1881. It was in May 25, 1881 that Antonio Guzman Blanco, who was the then President of the country, passed a declaration whereby this song was officially accepted as the National anthem of Venezuela. The title of the Anthem is “Glory to the brave nation”. I believe that this anthem represents Venezuela.
