    My attempt at the FULL lyrics for the Garlean (stolen) anthem.

    I managed to get my hand on a pretty clear music file of the Garlean Anthem. You can listen to it here.
    We all know that Verse 1 is fully subtitled in game, but here is my attempt for all 3 verses, after 500+(not even joking) replays:

    Beyond majestic mountains, across the emerald dale,
    On march the ivory standard, united we prevail.
    From distant shores of Othard, to lakes of Aldenard,
    The light of mighty Garlemald, foer'er our guiding star.

    Beneath the lofty meadows, inspired a path we fight on,
    In might of good king Galvus, enlight us on our soils.
    And every tireless summer, our land grew malm by malm,
    To be the strongest sanctity, our spirits cannot fall.

    Behold the mountains' aegis, the stitch defends us all,
    Define the spark upon the land, until her the cause is lost.
    By blessing of Lord Galvus! Fly high, beneath the stars!
    Ultimate conquest, victory! For glory, Garlemald.

    Any thoughts?

    A for effort, as I haven't looked into this.

    Not necessarily, I think- Having someone's 'blessing' can also just mean having their 'approval.' It's just more flowery speech, which this game has everywhere.

    UPDATE 1: I made some slight adjustment over the first line of Verse 3, with this, the second line needed some adjustment too.

    Behold the mountains' angel -> Behold the mountains' aegis

    Her speech embraces our soul ->The stitch defends us all

    Until her voice is lost -> Until the cause is lost

    After many edits, my thoughts are as follows:

    Second stanza:
    "inspired a path we fight on" could be "inspired, hot we toil"
    "and every tireless summer" could be "in every tireless summer"
    "our land grew malm by malm" could be "unending malm by malm"
    "to be the strongest sanctity" could be "to bring the strongest sanctity" (there seem to be a lot of phonetic liberties taken here)

    Third stanza:
    "mountains' aegis" could be "boundless aegis".
    "the stitch" could be "as which".
    "define the spark upon the land" could be "the fighters of our fatherland".
    "until the cause is lost" could be "until the course is run".
    "by blessing of Lord Galvus" could be "by mercy of Lord Galvus".
    "fly high, beneath the stars" could be "the magni fi, our song"
    "ultimate conquest" could be "unending conquest".

    It would thus be:

    Beyond majestic mountains, across the emerald dale
    On march the ivory standard, united we prevail
    From distant shores of Othard, to lakes of Aldenard
    The light of mighty Garlemald, fore'er our guiding star

    Beneath the lofty meadows, inspired, hot we toil
    In might of good king Galvus, enlight us on our soils
    In every tireless summer, unending malm by malm
    To bring the strongest sanctity, our spirits cannot fall

    Behold the boundless aegis, as which defends us all
    The fighters of our fatherland, until the course is run
    By mercy of Lord Galvus, the magni fi, our song
    Unending conquest, victory, for glory, Garlemald

    Listened to it on loop and slowed down for far longer than I'd recommend (SB credits on youtube, slowed to .5/.75), but here's my (slightly ominous) attempt. Sorry for the necro.
    Slashes denote "or".

    1st stanza
    Beyond majestic mountains, across the emerald dale,
    On march the ivory standard, united we prevail.
    From distant shores of Othard, to lakes of Aldenard,
    The light of mighty Garlemald, fore'er our guiding star.

    2nd stanza
    Beneath the lofty (banners/meadows), ("we strive and"/"inspired as") we toil
    (In/The) light of good King Galvus, (allowed us all?) our souls
    (And/Yet) every time I suffer, (and/yet) every time I fall
    (To leave a storied sanctity?), our spirits cannot fall

    3rd stanza
    Beyond the (mountains'/boundless) aegis, whose peaks embrace the sun
    (We fight, we "start"/"starve" and "hone"/"hold" the land?), until the course is run
    (By/Thy/The) blessing of Lord Galvus, (and let "it"/"us" be as strong?)
    Until we ("come with victory"/"conquer history"), for glory Garlemald

    I'm pretty sure "meadows" should be "banners".

    Initially I thought it to be "heavens".

    Yeah, I heard meadows initially, but then I had the notion to wonder why the heck meadows would be considered lofty. Pretty sure it's banners, but figured I'd leave meadows up in case I was wrong.
