Oshine Oshenna (IPA: /'oʃinɛ o'ʃɛnʲɑ/, English: Our Ocena) is a Lovian song and the anthem of Oceana, although the traditional song Kem that lew is espavat remains more popular. It was written in 2013 by Oos Wes Ilava, in order to have a state-wide anthem that was not specific to Hurbanova.
The song is especially less popular with non-Oceana inhabitants of the state and atheists, and has been critized on the fact that it cannot be sung in English, for rhythmic reasons.

Ridock: Oshine Oshenna, oshine Oshenna, A lashe thine lessies, thine goards an that land Thur mine harven |
Chorus: Our Oceana, our Oceana, I love your forests, your mountains and the landscape You are my state |
In that land kom da am a eniesthen, In that land kom da mine serdits letch, Da awnt a mine bivet udershovat, Da awnt a mine bivet zosnul yie |
In the land where I was born, In the land where my heart is lying, There I want to spend my life, There I want my life to die |
Ridock | Chorus |
Mine tong speak another jazzeek, As daylek or accent, it leek, Mine serdits virit in owe tshenas, Chem That Lourd Entlang os has eyien |
My tongue speaks another language, Be it dialect or accent, or similar, My heart believes in old values, Which the Lord has given us |
Ridock | Chorus |
That naytsher na can porovnatten, Kue wishettek els po that swet, That poda is bochat o'nerasts, That Lew prosh mine Heretow bite |
The nature cannot be compared, To anything else on the world, The soil is rich in minerals, That Lew can be my Heretow |
Ridock | Chorus |
