Free Hasbana

Free Hasbana is the national anthem of the Second Hasbin Republic, written as a protest song by Lapej Autavoca in 1971.

=Background and writing=

Lapej Autavoca was a radio broadcaster, who in 1969 started his own underground radio station promoting people to fight for independence. His most notable work to arise from this station and in his lifetime; was a rendition of Ludwig van Beethoven's Ode To Joy which he titled Free Hasbana.

As the Coup of the People was made up of average workers aligned to regional militias, morale was a serious issue and many thought that the Coup would fail because people simply wouldn't risk fighting. This is what prompted Autavoca to write the song, as an anthem of encouragement to the people, reminding them of their progress (such as in the lines "In the sky/Slowly we are heading for/God's master plan", a reference to the flag of the Republic being flown as a sign of rebellion) and of what is at stake (the lines "Make light in it/For the wasted/Deep down inside of child's eyes:/Bright with desire" are the most popular example of this).

In English
In the sky

Slowly we are heading for

God's master plan

Decide if you start or done

The holy realm

Soon or later take my heart

No more time to lose for our society

So now we have to find the way

Leading up to victory

Carry on and don't be afraid

Don't risk to miss your life

In sending away

To attain the force

Somedays better for

Someones worth

Make light in it

For the wasted

Deep down inside of child's eyes:

Bright with desire

Life can get better if we take time to realign

Just keep the best let your worries out of your mind

Trust in me my brother then I really show you how

To make your dreams come true

And hear the ode to joy

In Hasbani
En la ĉielo

Malrapide ni celas

La majstra plano de Dio

Decidu, ĉu vi komencas aŭ plenumas

La sankta regno

Baldaŭ aŭ poste prenu mian koron

Ne plu volas perdi por nia socio

Do nun ni devas trovi la vojon

Gvidante venkon

Daŭrigu kaj ne timu

Ne risku maltrafi vian vivon

Sendinte

Por atingi la forton

Somere pli bone por

Iuj valoras

Faru lumon en ĝi

Por la malŝparita

Profunde en la internaj okuloj de infano:

Brila kun deziro

La vivo povas plibonigi se ni prenas tempon por realigi

Nur tenu la plej bonan ellasu viajn zorgojn

Fidu min, mia frato, kaj mi vere montras al vi kiel

Por realigi viajn revojn

Kaj aŭskultu la ĝojon
