Many Kaoroi felt a yearning towards the poem. In a survey, 78% of Kaoroi said that they felt proud hearing the song, and much more thought it could be described as "beautiful". Some thought these results to be odd, as usually calmer songs are thought to be less patrotic than strong and tough songs that are made to make one feel proud.
==History==
The origins of the song is unconfirmed, but the writing of the song is attributed to a soldier sent to fight in the [[Bataldinastio]]. In a camp in [[Quentia]], he wrote a small poem nervously on a piece of paper with an ink and quill. A raid by [[Kingdom of Kaoro (Dakota)|Dakota KOK forces]] led him to flee towards the border with [[Coasti]]. He left the poem behind, but the paper somehow survived the raid. Several decades after, the poem was found deep underground, in a poor condition. Not wanting to destroy the poem, the finder sent the paper to [[Kaoro City]], where it was preserved, and recreated. In 1909, [[Heuo Pegre]] wrote a melody to go with the poem.


The paper is currently in the [[Kaoro City Historical Museum]], and was partially restored in 1966.

Lyrics

Original Literal Translation Poetic Translation
Detrui ĉitiujn barojn de l’homar’

ĉar en la ĉielo, mi pova’ vida’ mia fratojn
Nortuan’, adulan’, eŭronian’, auzianan’.
Por, mi estas kaorano, de mia amo
kaj lasu la mondo vivi.

Destroy these barriers of mankind

For in the sky, I can see my brothers
Nortuan, Adulan, Euronian, Ausianan
For, I am Kaoroan, of my love
And let the world live.

Tear down these ancient walls of humanity
For then in the sky, I can see my brothers
Nortuans, Adulans, Euronians, Ausianans.
For I am Kaoroan, out of true love
And may the world progress.
