Soul Patch Dispensation

I picked up this form at the capital as well. I was thinking of going this way, but the artist's rendering was at the applicant's expense.

Screw that!

BOJ. Do you realize that has to be filled out in the presence of a notary public on the third friday of the month in front of Wal-Mart while singing the national anthem of Paraguay?
 
I know a notary, there's a Wal-Mart here in town, the third Friday is coming up and I've been learning this"

A los pueblos de América in fausto,
Tres centurias un cetro oprimió,
Más un día soberbia surgiendo,
Basta!, dijo y el cetro rompió.
Nuestros padres lidiando grandiosos,
Ilustraron su gloria marcial;
Y trozada la augusta diadema,
Enalzaron el gorro triunfal,
Y trozada la augusta diadema,
Enalzaron el gorro triunfal.

CHORUS:
Paraguayos, República o muerte!
Nuestro brío nos dío libertad;
Ni opresores, ni siervos, alientan,
Donde reinan unión, e igualdad.
Ni opresores, ni siervos, alientan,
Donde reinan unión e igualdad,
unión e igualdad, unión e igualdad.

Nueva Roma, la Patria ostentará
Dos caudillos de nombre y valer,
Que rivales, cual Rómulo y Remo,
dividieron gobierno y poder ...
Largos años, cual Febo entre nubes
Viose oculta la perla del Sud,
Hoy un héroe grandioso aparece
Realzando su gloria y virtud...

CHORUS

Con aplauso la Europa y el Mundo
La saludan, y aclaman también
De heroísmo valuarte invencible
De riquezas magnífico Edén
Cuando entorno rugió la Discordia
Que otros Pueblos fatal devoró,
Paraguayos, el suelo sagrado
Con sus alas un ángel cubrió.

CHORUS

Oh !, cuan pura, de lauro ceñida,
Dulce Patria te ostentas así
En tu enseña se ven los colores
Del zafiro, diamante y rubí.
En tu escudo que el sol ilumina,
Bajo el gorro se mira el león.
Doble imágen de fuertes y libres,
y de glorias, recuerdo y blasón.

CHORUS

De la tumba del vil feudalismo
Se alza libre la Patria deidad;
Opresores, doblad rodilla !
Compatriotas el Himno entonad !
Suene el grito, República o Muerte !
Nuestros pechos lo exalen con fe,
Y sus ecos repitan los montes
Cual gigantes poniéndose en pie.

CHORUS

Libertad y Justicia defiende
Nuestra Patria; Tiranos, oid !
De sus fueros la carta sagrada
Su heroismo sustenta en la lid.
Contra el mundo, si el mundo se opone,
Si ententare su prenda insultar,
Batallando vengar la sabremos
O abrazo con ella expirar.

CHORUS

Alza, oh Pueblo, tu espada esplendente
Que fulmina destellos de Dios,
No hay más medio que libre o esclavo
Y un abismo divide a los dos
En las auras el Himno resuene,
Repitiendo con eco triunfal:
A los Libres perínclita gloria !
A la Patria laurel inmortal !

CHORUS

---
ENGLISH TRANSLATION

For three centuries a reign oppressed
The unhappy peoples of America,
But one day, their anger aroused, they said:
"An end to this!" and broke the reign.
Our forefathers, fighting magnificently,
Displayed their martial glory,
And when the august diadem was shattered,
They raised the triumphal cap of liberty.

CHORUS:
Paraguayans, Republic or death!
It was our strength that gave us our final liberty.
Neither tyrants nor slaves can continue,
Where unity and equality reign,
Where unity and equality reign.

A new Rome, the Fatherland shall proudly display
Two leaders of name and valor
Who, rivals, like Romulus and Remus
Divided government and power.
Long years, during which Phoebus in the clouds
Saw darken the pearl of the South,
Today a grand hero appears
Raising up again her glory and virtue...

CHORUS

Europe and the world salute her with applause
And also acclaim
Invincible bastion of heroism,
Magnificent Eden of riches.
(But) when discord rumbled all around
Which fatally devoured other Peoples,
Paraguayans, the sacred ground
Was covered by an angel with its wings.

CHORUS

Oh, how pure, of laurel girded
Sweet Fatherland, in this manner you show yourself.
In your ensign one sees the colors
Of sapphire, diamond, and ruby.
In your coat of arms, which the Sun illuminates,
Under the cap, one sees the lion.
Double image of the strong and the free,
And of glories, the memory and crest.

CHORUS

From the tomb of vile feudalism
The national Deity rises free;
Oppressors, bend your knees!
Compatriots, entone the hymn!
Sound the cry, "Republic or death"!
Our breasts exhale it with faith,
And the mountains repeat its echoes
Like giants arising.

CHORUS

Our Fatherland defends liberty and justice;
Tyrants: listen!
The laws in its sacred charter
Will sustain its heroism in the fight.
Against the world, if the world opposes it,
If the world dares to insult her security,
Battling to avenge we shall know her
Or die embracing her.

CHORUS

Arise, oh People, your splendid sword
That strikes with sparkles of God,
There is no middle ground between free or slave
And an abyss divides the two.
In the gentle breezes the Hymn resounds,
Repeating with triumphal echo:
For the free, renowned glory!
For the Fatherland, immortal laurel!


I'd rather sing the East German National Anthem from the movie Top Secret.
 
Damn, I should have known better. Mabye they will allow you the Top Secret East German National Anthem
 
East Germany did use Deutschland, Deutschland Uber Alles as it's national anthem for a while after the breakup, but they later changed it. I don't know what they changed it to, but I only wish it had been something like this from the movie, Top Secret!

HAIL, HAIL, EAST GERMANY
LAND OF VINE AND GRAPE,
LAND WHERE YOU'LL REGRET
ANY TRY TO ESCAPE
NO MATTER IF YOU TUNNEL UNDER
OR TAKE A RUNNING JUMP AT THE WALL,
FORGET IT! THE GUARDS WILL KILL YOU,
IF THE ELECTRIFIED FENCE DOESN'T FIRST
