The trip is filled with humor, suspense, tragedy, and surprise as each country's citizens passionately claim the song to be their own and can even furnish elaborate histories for its origins.<div><br /></div><div>The tune emerges again and again in different forms: as a love song, a religious hymn, a revolutionary anthem, and even a military march.
