To The Uiop Ever Flowing

"To The Uiop Ever Flowing" is the national anthem of Apfeldonia. The song was originally commissioned by His Majesty, King Travis III for the National Day of Music, April 4th 1922, which refers to 4/4 time in tempo. Lukas, Archduke of Ostcelestria, and cousin to the King, wrote the lyrics to the anthem and proposed before the court of HM the King on that same day, and has remained the de facto national anthem since 1922.

Original Lyrics (1922)


'''1. '''To the Uiop ever flowing,

From the highlands where we came.

Ages passed since Rutgar's going

Yet, the river is the same.

From the towering Schulfsrum mountains,

Up on the Freiheitian heights.

Ostcelestria's lush green canyons,

To the mouth of the Breeze Bay.

We are Apfeldites,

We are Apfeldites!

'''2. '''Thus, these hallowed waters rush through

Each and every heart and mind.

Every season creates a new

Vibrant age for all mankind.

From the groves of Oschtauch's orchards

<span style="color:rgb(213,212,212);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:22px;">To the Nersaillian marshland.

<span style="color:rgb(213,212,212);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:22px;">From Verbania's sprawling pastures

<span style="color:rgb(213,212,212);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:22px;">finally to Royal Lahn.

<span style="line-height:22px;color:rgb(213,212,212);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">We are Apfeldites,

<span style="line-height:22px;color:rgb(213,212,212);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">We are Apfeldites!

<span style="color:rgb(213,212,212);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">'''3. '''Apfeldonia all united,

<span style="color:rgb(213,212,212);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">That's what Uiop means to me.

<span style="color:rgb(213,212,212);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">That must be what Rutgar sighted

<span style="color:rgb(213,212,212);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">The fruit of the Apfel tree.

<span style="color:rgb(213,212,212);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">We're the fruit of our nation's soils,

<span style="color:rgb(213,212,212);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">The earth our ancestors tilled.

<span style="color:rgb(213,212,212);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Like legendary Volland Royals,

<span style="color:rgb(213,212,212);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Our destiny is fulfilled.

<span style="color:rgb(213,212,212);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:22px;font-size:14px;">We are Apfeldites,

<span style="line-height:22px;color:rgb(213,212,212);font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">We are Apfeldites!
