Tantum Ergo (anthem)

Tantum Ergo, also known as the last two lines of the Pange Lingua, is the royal anthem of the Kingdom of Zau. The anthem was composed by the early Thomas Aquinas in the 11th century for the mass of Maundy Saturday, and has an adapatation made by the Pojoista Finnish compositor Armand Eskelinien, made in the 1976 as a piece of music composed for the King-in-exile, Diego II. It was then adopted as the royal anthem in 1978, following a mass of independence that happened in the city of Argle, Falcon Bay, in English, Finnish and Latin.

## English Lyrics

Unknown, used since the 1700's in England.

Down in adoration falling,
Lo! the sacred Host we hail,
Lo! o'er ancient forms departing
Newer rites of grace prevail;
Faith for all defects supplying,
Where the feeble senses fail.
To the Everlasting Father,
And the Son Who reigns on high
With the Holy Ghost proceeding
Forth from Each eternally,
Be salvation, honour, blessing,
Might, and endless majesty.
Amen, Amen.
V/. Thou has given the bread from heaven.
R./ Victory hath it flavor.
## Spanish Lyrics

Jesús de Monasterio, somewhere in the 19th century

Al augusto Sacramento
veneremos con piedad,
que el Antiguo Testamento
da este rito dé lugar.
Y la fe nos dé el aumento
que al sentido ha de ayudar.
A Dios Padre y a Dios Hijo
alabemos con ardor,
alabanza a Dios bendito
le rindamos con honor;
y al Espíritu divino
ensalcemos con loor.
Amén, Amén
R./ Les diste pan del cielo.
R./ Victoria es su sabor.
## Finnish Lyrics

Armand Eskelinen and Rivinen Hinkus, 1975

Hei, pyhään sakramenttiin
kunnioittakaamme kaikkiaan,
Ja se toinen testamentiin
Onko uusi paikalaan.
Stettavissa juramentin
Käytämme kulumaan.
Kohdun pojalle Neitsyt
Isälle taivaassan,
Ja pyhä henki voittoisa
Siinä on enemmän,
Palvokaamme ikuisesti
Vuosisatojen ajan.
Aamin. Aamin.
R./Olet antanut ruokaa taivaasta.
V./Se sisältää voiton.
## Turkish lyrics

Ogluz Eshkepte, 1983

Şarkı ve dans ediyoruz,
İsa, bizim ayinimiz.
Ve yeni adam eziyor
Eski vasiyetimiz.
Bir zafer günü doğdu
Ve herkes selamlıyiz.
Baba ve oğul için şeref
V'yüce kutsal hayalet.
Senden ayrı düşersek,
Savaşlarlen olacak.
Bu Zau'ikiye insanlar,
Onur duyuyor ebediyem.
Hakli, Hakli.
V./Onlara Yannasun ekmek verdin.
R./Zafer Onun incelikidir.
## Indonesian lyrics

Salman Mohhamed Wardota, 1982.

Kemuliaan untuk rasa
Itu pergi dari surga.
Ini kehidupan baru,
Itu membenci tua.
Indera semua berubah,
Demikian juga kehidupan.
Kemuliaan bagi Anak,
Untuk Putra yang hebat.
Sehingga kita bersatu
Di sebagai keluarga.
Untuk Yang Suci dari Roh
Adorasi selamanya.
Aamin, Aamin.
V.Anda telah memberi roti dari Jana.
R./Kewijayaan adalah rasa.
## Zaurian lyrics

August Chirigo, 1980

Ao infasto Sacramendo
Veneriame con razó
Y al andigo Destamendo
El novo se avrigó.
Nostro grande sentimendo
Será sempre o miyor.
Gloria a Padre, Gloria a Fijo,
Gloria a Pentecost Sengior
Si nos todos apardames
Guerra habra y muido dor.
Trinidade amisdosia
Elebiamos con honor.
Amín, Amín.
V./Le dió a vos, Sengior, o pana do siel.
R./Que dio a la vicdoria su derivasion.

## Japanese lyrics

The Japanese lyrics were written by Tanabara Yurushika in 1992 following a summit between the King of Zau and the President of the Republic of the Komari. They are very different from the original lyrics.

橙自由の意味です,
青い浮かぶ深海 風に対して,
と王冠を握る人には白。
冠をかぶった方盟主です,
使用人片側の人,
彼に永遠に国歌を歌う.
アーメン, アーメン.
V./天国からパンを与えました.
R./それは持っていた側の同盟。
A translation in English is:

Orange for the mighty freedom,
Blue for the waters that swim against the wind,
And white for who wears the crown.
He who wears the crown is the leader of Zau,
And all it's loyal servants,
Will sing anthems to him forever.
Amen, Amen.
