The national anthem depends on the name of the traditional head of state according to the customs of the schnauzerlands federation.
Currently the traditional head of state is Kinderlieb the Third, affectionately known as Lieb, and thus the anthem is sung as:

Kinderlieb, Kinderlieb,
Du grüßt mich jeden Morgen,
Sehe ich dich,
Freue ich mich,
Und vergess' meine Sorgen.
Schmücke das Heimatland,
Schön und schwarz,
Blühest wie die Sterne.
Kinderlieb, Kinderlieb,
Ach, ich hab dich so gerne.

English translation (not exact in order to fit the melody):
Kinderlieb, Kinderlieb,
Every morning you greet me,
Small and black,
Clean and bright,
You look happy to meet me;
Blossom of snow
May you bloom and grow,
Bloom and grow forever.
Kinderlieb, Kinderlieb,
Bless our homeland forever.


The original was adopted during the lifetime of Edelweiss the First:
Edelweiß, Edelweiß,
Du grüßt mich jeden Morgen,
Sehe ich dich,
Freue ich mich,
Und vergess' meine Sorgen.
Schmücke das Heimatland,
Schön und weiß,
Blühest wie die Sterne.
Edelweiß, Edelweiß,
Ach, ich hab dich so gerne.


Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Every morning you greet me
Small and white,
clean and bright
You look happy to meet me.
Blossom of snow
may you bloom and grow,
Bloom and grow forever.
Edelweiss, Edelweiss
Bless my homeland forever.


During the reign of Kinderlieb the Second, these lyrics were retained, with the sole substitution of the name. During the reign of Edelweiss the Second, the original lyrics were used. Because the current traditional head of state is mostly black in color and not white (silver or gray), the lyrics were modified slightly to reflect that.

Music to the Anthem.

Stanza 1

Windsor dc, thy grace is known to all!
Beauty n'er was quite as fair as thee.
With liberty, and pride your flag e'er waves,
spreading hope, for all the world to see.

Forever shall trumpets sound
and all nature thy praises renown

Windsor dc, your glory shines on high
Thy Crown will, forever shine bright.

Stanza 2

Windsor dc, with honor your men fight
to guard your freedom through the night.
Tyrants shall not tame thee for a time
'Cause Liberty, has pulled thee to her side.

Perfect loyalty, we pledge to our King
in whom lies all your majesty.

Windsor dc, how we love thee so!
May God keep you forever more

Windsor, you posted twice again.. :P

Anyway:

Peace abides
All Ilerienish Princes
Sing the anthem,
Today and henceforth
What takes this happiness
Long live the Queen! Long live peace!
Long live Ilerien!
And the wise Fontainons
Powerful and merciful,
Whose hearts are all good!
Peace, abundance
Come in our cities and lands
What extreme joy
Live, vivacious and glorious city of Vienne!
Live Alsene, live Lodun, live Chaire, live Grandes, live Blaise, live Efarin, live Bannot,
Live Rel, live Lindre, live Bel Garde, live Ismarne, live Terveborne and live Duncanny!
Sing all for
Beautiful Queen Ravenna
Descendant of so many Kings!
The diadem
Of Ilerien is a Queen
Our hope even
Is the reason why
Yes, Ravenna loves us,
Long live the Queen!
No more sadness,
Long live Ravenna!
Princes, princesses,
We are delighted,
That joys
Prevail in all countries of the Empire!
 
'all hands on deck, we've run afloat!' I heard the captain cry
'explore the ship, replace the cook: let no one leave alive!'
Across the straits, around the horn: how far can sailors fly?
A twisted path, our tortured course, and no one left alive

We sailed for parts unknown to man, where ships come home to die
No lofty peak, nor fortress bold, could match our captain's eye
Upon the seventh seasick day we made our port of call
A sand so white, and sea so blue, no mortal place at all

We fired the gun, and burnt the mast, and rowed from ship to shore
The captain cried, we sailors wept: our tears were tears of joy
Now many moons and many junes have passed since we made land
A salty dog, this seaman's log: your witness my own hand


:jack:
 
There's now a small change in my anthem. As the capital of Ilerien was moved to the great city of Alexandrie the following verse should be:
Live, the vivacious and glorious Imperial Golden City of Alexandrie!
Live the Royal City of Vienne, live Alsene, live Lodun, live Chaire, live Grandes, live Blaise, live Efarin, live Bannot, Live Rel, live Lindre,
live Bel Garde, live Ismarne, live Terveborne and live Duncanny!
 
Because I'm so unoriginal, this is my anthem:

[flash=250,210]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Us79N2yc64[/flash]

So wide you can't get around it
So low you can't get under it
(So low you can't get under it)
So high you can't get over it
(So high you can't get over it)
Da-yee do do do do do do

To dance your way
Out of your constrictions

With the groove our only guide
We shall all be moved
Ready or not here we come
Gettin' down on

One nation under a groove
gettin' down just for the funk
(Can I get it on the good foot)
Gettin' down just for the funk of it

One nation and we're on the move
Nothin' can stop us now
Ah ah aye aiii aiiieeeeee

Givin' you more of what you're funkin' for
Feet don't fail me now
Do you promise to funk?
The whole funk, nothin' but the funk

Ready or not here we come
Gettin' down on the one which we believe in

(You can dance away)

Feet don't fail me now (ha ha)

Givin' you more of what you're funkin' for
Feet don't fail me now

Here's my chance to dance my way

One nation under a groove
Gettin' down just for the funk of it
One nation and we're on the move
Nothin' can stop us now
Nothin' can stop us now
One nation under a groove
Gettin' down just for the funk of it
One nation and we're on the move

Nothin' can stop us now

Do you promise to funk, the whole funk?
You can't stop us now
Givin' you more of what you're
