Long Have We Suffered

The "National Anthem of the Lynian Horde", better known as "Kaua on kannatanud" ('Long Have We Suffered'), is the of Nonun. It was written by Hülegü Raimond in 1836, then musicalized by Kesigaas Urmas in 1944 and adopted by in 1949.

The lyrics constitute a dramatization of the Keila Uprising (1718), in which  had seized a village from Imperial Nukigurun and withheld it for two weeks. These gained relevance during the Great Eulhae War, when the Lynian Liberation Front attempted similar stunts against the Contingents. In popular practice, the anthem begins from the third onwards, and each  is repeated twice.
