Serious World's most 杀气 (Aura of Slayer / Warrior) National Anthems Researched
 

An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

I spent hours into the contents of collection of National Anthems of The World:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_anthems

From the newest Afghanistan = year 2006 to oldest Argentina = year 1813. I concentrated on the aspect of WARS only.

Found approximately 10% of national Anthems are Songs of War / Warriors, at least 20% mentioned wars / battles to a certain extend [E.g. UK's 'God Save the Queen' Scatter her enemies, And make them fall ]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_Save_the_Queen

I short-listed 5 Anthems which can be considered as War Songs or Warrior's Song: France; China; USA; Mexico; Palestine, any surprise?


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Marseillaise

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_of_the_Volunteers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Star-Spangled_Banner

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himno_Nacional_Mexicano

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fida%27i


These are the top 5 in Aura of Slayer 杀气.

Out of these 5 only the Mexican mentioned Peace & Olive among words of wars and blood & cannons. The Chinese has the least number of words, but every sentence in it highly motivates the people to go to war. The French has almost as many words as USA's, French has a common point with Chinese & USA that is the fight against SLAVERY.

The American Anthem's spirit is the most subtle among all these 5, because the lyrics drifted some distance away from war itself e.g.

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.


Palestinian one is the only one mentioning vendetta.

French is the only Anthem mentioning COFFINS:

(Children's Verse)
We shall enter the (military) career
When our elders are no longer there,
There we shall find their dust
And the trace of their virtues (repeat)
Much less keen to survive them
Than to share their coffins,
We shall have the sublime pride
Of avenging or following them

To arms, citizens...


I can still not decide weather the Chinese or French is of HIGHER AURA OF SLAYER/WARRIOR yet.

起来! 不愿做奴隶的人们！
把我们的血肉， 筑成我们新的长城！
中华民族到了最危险的时候，
每个人被迫着发出最后的吼声。
起来！ 起来！ 起来！
我们万众一心，
冒着敌人的炮火， 前进！
冒着敌人的炮火， 前进！
前进！ 前进！ 进！

Arise, ye who refuse to be slaves;
With our very flesh and blood
Let us build our new Great Wall!
The peoples of China are in the most critical time,
Everybody must roar his defiance.
Arise! Arise! Arise!
Millions of hearts with one mind,
Brave the enemy's gunfire,
March on!
Brave the enemy's gunfire,
March on!
March on!
March on, on!



Verse 1:
Let's go children of the fatherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Against us tyranny's
Bloody flag is raised! (repeat)
In the countryside, do you hear
The roaring of these fierce soldiers?
They come right to our arms
To slit the throats of our sons, our friends!

Refrain:
Grab your weapons, citizens!
Form your battalions!
Let us march! Let us march!
May impure blood
Water our fields!

Verse 3:
What! These foreign troops
Would make laws in our home!
What! These mercenary phalanxes
Would bring down our proud warriors! (repeat)
Good Lord! By chained hands
Our brows would bend beneath the yoke!
Vile despots would become
The masters of our fate!

Verse 4:
Tremble, tyrants! and you, traitors,
The disgrace of all groups,
Tremble! Your parricidal plans
Will finally pay the price! (repeat)
Everyone is a soldier to fight you,
If they fall, our young heros,
France will make more,
Ready to battle you!

Verse 5:
Frenchmen, as magnanimous warriors,
Bear or hold back your blows!
Spare these sad victims,
Regretfully arming against us. (repeat)
But not these bloodthirsty despots,
But not these accomplices of Bouillé,
All of these animals who, without pity,
Tear their mother's breast to pieces!

Verse 6:
Sacred love of France,
Lead, support our avenging arms!
Liberty, beloved Liberty,
Fight with your defenders! (repeat)
Under our flags, let victory
Hasten to your manly tones!
May your dying enemies
See your triumph and our glory!

Verse 7:
We will enter the pit
When our elders are no longer there;
There, we will find their dust
And the traces of their virtues. (repeat)
Much less eager to outlive them
Than to share their casket,
We will have the sublime pride
Of avenging them or following them!
