Arrane Ashoonagh Dy Vannin
«Arrane Ashoonagh Vannin» (engelsk: O Land of Our Birth) er Mans nasjonalsang. Den er skrevet og komponert av William Henry Gill (1839–1923) og oversettelsen til mansk-gælisk er gjort av John J. Kneen (1873–1939). Nasjonalsangen inneholder åtte vers, men det er bare den første og siste som pleier å bli sunget. Tynwald besluttet den 22. januar 2002 at dette skulle være Mans offisielle nasjonalsang sammen med den britiske God Save the Queen.
Sangen Ellan Vannin, skrevet av Eliza Craven Green i 1854 og senere satt musikk til av enten J. Townsend eller F. H. Townend (motstridende kilder), hadde opp til denne tiden blitt sett på som en likeverdig uoffisiell nasjonalsang.
Engelsk utgave
[rediger | rediger kilde]- O land of our birth,
- O gem of God's earth,
- O Island so strong and so fair;
- Built firm as Barrule,
- Thy Throne of Home Rule
- Makes us free as thy sweet mountain air.
- When Orry, the Dane,
- In Mannin did reign,
- 'Twas said he had come from above;
- For wisdom from Heav'n
- To him had been giv'n
- To rule us with justice and love.
- Our fathers have told
- How Saints came of old,
- Proclaiming the Gospel of Peace;
- That sinful desires,
- Like false Baal fires,
- Must die ere our troubles can cease.
- Ye sons of the soil,
- In hardship and toil,
- That plough both the land and the sea,
- Take heart while you can,
- And think of the Man
- Who toiled by the Lake Galilee.
- When fierce tempests smote
- That frail little boat,
- They ceased at His gentle command;
- Despite all our fear,
- The Saviour is near
- To safeguard our dear Fatherland.
- Let storm-winds rejoice,
- And lift up their voice,
- No danger our homes can befall;
- Our green hills and rocks
- Encircle our flocks,
- And keep out the sea like a wall.
- Our Island, thus blest, No foe can molest;
- Our grain and our fish shall increase;
- From battle and sword Protecteth the Lord,
- And crowneth our nation with peace.
- Then let us rejoice
- With heart, soul and voice,
- And in The Lord's promise confide;
- That each single hour
- We trust in His power,
- No evil our souls can betide.
