Lève-toi, ô Baïen!

English: "Arise, O Bahian!"
National anthem of United Bahian Republic
Lyrics	Médard Lavaud, 1944
Music	Médard Lavaud, 1944
Adopted	1955
Relinquished	1965

Lève-toi, ô Baïen! (Arise, O Bahian!) was the national anthem of the United Bahian Republic from 1955 until its dissolution in 1965.

History

The song was written by Médard Lavaud, a resident of Sainte-Germaine in 1944 as a song for the pro-independence protests in the city, as Lavaud believed that East Riziland should be granted independence as a separate country from Riziland. The song caught on among the protesters in Sainte-Germaine, which due to its status as one of the largest cities in Bahia at the time made the song prominent among Bahians.

The ambiguous nature of Lavaud's lyrics made the song popular among the Pan-Bahian movement, although Lavaud consistently criticised the interpretation, saying that "this song was not meant to represent all of Bahia, but rather just my homeland," and that "had they listened to the song, they would've known that I was only speaking about Garambura."

Despite Lavaud's opposition, when the United Bahian Republic was established in 1954, when they needed an anthem to represent the United Bahian Republic as an organisation, Lève-toi, ô Baïen! was seen as the obvious choice, as the organisers of the United Bahian Republic believed that the song was pan-Bahian in message, as opposed to just being regionalist, like the anthems that were in use by the member states of the United Bahian Republic.

Thus, on the first anniversary of the establishment of the United Bahian Republic, Lève-toi, ô Baïen! was officially adopted as the national anthem of the United Bahian Republic. Over the next fourteen years, it would be used to represent the United Bahian Republic as a whole, as opposed to their individual members.

Due to its status as a pan-Bahian song, it was also used by other pan-Bahian organisations, such as the (TBC), while the melody of Lève-toi, ô Baïen! was used by the Mabifian Democratic Republic as their anthem, Main dans la main, although they had different lyrics.
