Talk:Fair Antigua, We Salute Thee

In the article is said:

it was adopted upon independence in 1967

but the independence was on 1981... so something is wrong. --Viktor 13:20, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that the mistake is in the island's history, not in the anthem's description. Antigua and Barbuda became an 'associated state' to the Crown of England in 1967, before attaining independence in 1981 [1]. I believe this explains the apparent incoherence. Taragui 14:23, August 3, 2005 (UTC)

Anthem Verse

[edit]

Hi, this page seems to be missing this verse. I'm not sure if it's the correct first verse, or if it's an extra verse that ought to be somewhere else.

Fair Antigua, we salute thee! Proudly we this anthem raise To thy glory and thy beauty, Joyfully we sing the praise Of the virtues, all bestowed On thy sons and daughters free; Ever striving, ever seeking, Dwell in love and unity.

[edit]

FYI, the national anthem is still copyrighted. Anthems are not explicitly exempt from copyright in the USA nor in Antigua and Barbuda. Lyricist died in 1986, and Antigua and Barbuda is life+50 and USA is life+70. This anthem will be in the public domain in source country in 1937 and in the USA in 1957.
