Aldamenean (Lemovician: Алдаменеан, Miersan: Ramię w ramię, meaning Side by side) is the national anthem of Lemovicia, adopted in 1992 to replace Otoitza.
History
The music is derived from a traditional Lemovician melody, used for many folk songs.
The lyrics were penned by Luka Barrategui and Lubomir Kucharczyk in 1992 on the urging of Otxote Sasimbarrena and Izydor Domzalski, who sought to replace Otoitza as the national anthem of Lemovicia in the Lemovician constitution.
With Barrategui taking inspiration from a traditional Lemovician folk song, and the recent adoption of the Alikianos Accords, he produced the Lemovician version of the song, while Kucharczyk produced the Miersan version. Both sought to have "near-identical translations" so that the same themes of peace and brotherhood can get across.
Following its completion, two copies of the song were sent to Domzalski and Sasiambarrena, each containing both versions. Both approved, and in the constitutional convention, Aldamenean was officially named as the new anthem, with the song officially replacing Otoitza on 1 October, 1992.
