Talk:European anthem
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European anthem deserves an article. Pvosta 22:08, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] No lyrics
According to the article "the anthem is purely instrumental and the German lyrics have no official status. [...] A suggestion for Latin lyrics to the anthem has been written by the Austrian composer Peter Roland, but the lyrics has not been accorded official status, and is not used by the EU." So why was there a section entitled "lyrics" added? This definitely gives the wrong impression that there are lyrics. Not being a native speaker of any of the languages listed but English I can't comment on them, but the English ones don't even fit the tune! I gather they could be translations of the Latin lyrics, but I don't believe they deserve a place on this page (there's a link to them in the reference section) due to the confusion it would cause, and people believing those are the official lyrics (of which there are none, as has been proven). --Canuckguy 07:39, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
