Nation (from Latin: natio, "people, tribe, kin, genus, class, flock") is a social concept with no uncontroversial definition, but that is most commonly used to designate larger groups or collectives of people with common characteristics attributed to them—including language, traditions, customs (mores), habits (habitus), and ethnicity. A nation, by comparison, is more impersonal, abstract, and overtly political than an ethnic group. It is a cultural-political community that has become conscious of its autonomy, unity, and particular interests.
According to Joseph Stalin: "a nation is not a racial or tribal, but a historically constituted community of people;" "a nation is not a casual or ephemeral conglomeration, but a stable community of people"; "a nation is formed only as a result of lengthy and systematic intercourse, as a result of people living together generation after generation"; and, in its entirety: "a nation is a historically constituted, stable community of people, formed on the basis of a common language, territory, economic life, and psychological make-up manifested in a common culture."
I don't need no evidence
I've got my self confidence
So you don't have to say a word
You don't need to judge this girl
Come down you, you old teacher
and I´ll give, I´ll give you a lecture
Come down you, you old leader
Come and look what you've done
To my nation
Let's call it self defence
A call for happy ending
But each side steps and says
je regrette rien
don't say It
don't say you don´t regret a thing
don't say you don't regret a thing
you could be my sister my brother and I
won't let you go
Don't say you don't regret a thing
Don't say you don't regret a thing
But each side steps and said
je regrette rien
Don't say It
je ne regrette rien.
Born in an haunted nation
since when was War a passion
Born with a fighting rebound on them
Now look what it's done
Done to our nations, lets say it
Let say it...
don't say you don´t regret a thing
don't say you don't regret a thing
don't say you don't regret a thing
you could be my sister my brother and I won't let you go
But each side steps and said
je regrette rien
Don't say it
Je ne regrette rien rien...
