Kildare above all

[Jonas]

We still don't have a hymn for Kildare, so I propose 'Kildare above all'. It's sung on the hymn of the German anthem.

Kildare above all

Kildare, Kildare above all,
Above all in the world,
When, for protection and defence, it always
takes a brotherly stand.
From Melangia to Aracigrad,
From Port Nevermore to Norfolk,
|: Kildare, Kildare above everything,
Above everything in the world. :|

Kildare's women, Kildare's loyalty,
Kildare's wine and Kildare's song
Shall retain in the world
Their old beautiful chime
And inspire us to noble deeds
During all of our life.
|: Kildare's women, Kildare's loyalty,
Kildare's wine and Kildare's song! :|

[Andreas the Wise]

As if two songs for Kildare aren't enough, we need a hymn?

I object to line 2. Nelaga is clearly above Kildare in the sense that it's flying, and Kildare is not.

That was the original plan, but the first song was seen as a hymn to the Dutch, I wanted one for the Dutchy.

I object to line 2. Nelaga is clearly above Kildare in the sense that it's flying, and Kildare is not.

It's a metaphor.

[W.Payne]

Shouldn't this be moved to the Seanad?


Oh, and I like it.
