Okay - I'm sure this has been asked before - but I couldn't find it. I am doing a report on Spain and I need the words to the national anthem (english preferably) and I also need something on symbols - can you help me out???

Kathie,

Have you tried using Google.com . I typed "Himno nacional de España" and I found these interesting links:

http://galeon.com/himnonacional/ http://galeon.com/himnonacional/historia.html

By the way, despite what some people say and as you can read on this site, the Spanish National Anthem DOES NOT HAVE ANY OFFICIAL words.

Regards,

Antonio

Hmm.. if you're sure this has been asked before did you find it using the SEARCH link above/right? Actually, I don't think it has been asked before, but I also hope this project isn't due tomorrow.

If I had a nickle for every email I got from a student asking me to give them the answers for a report/project due tomorrow (i.e. to do their homework for them) I'd be rich!! hehee... I suggest using the normal means of searching for this information using the... ummm.. search engines.

Let's get her started, shall we gang? What's the Spanish translation for "National Anthem" in Spanish???

And you need something on "symbols", eh? hmmmm... not sure what kind of symbols you're looking for but I know SOME talk has gone one here regarding Madrid's city symbol. THAT you'll find using the SEARCH link above/right. Good luck with your project!

Saludos, MadridMan

DOH! Looks like Antonio beat me to it. Seems we had similar answers too. Hahahaa...

I can't give you the words but I can hum it.

I can't hum it but I can play it with a funky back beat on my Casio keyboard.

There are no official words...I second that. You can hear it on TVE-1 at about 3:00 a.m. when they go off the air...

If you want to hear the tune go to http://www.thenationalanthems.com/ Have fun
