The national anthem of Spain is Marcha Real. Marcha Real actually means “Royal March“. The lyrics of the national anthem got ready and adopted in 1978 after Franco’s dictorship.

Long live Spain, raise your arms, sons

of the Spanish people, who are rising again.

Glory to the Fatherland that knew how to follow,

over the blue of the sea the path of the sun.

Glory to the Fatherland that knew how to follow,

over the blue of the sea the path of the sun.

Spain triumphs! The anvils and wheels

sing to the rhythm of the hymn of the faith.

Spain triumphs! The anvils and wheels

sing to the rhythm of the hymn of the faith.

Together with them let’s stand and sing

the new powerful life of labour and peace.

Together with them let’s stand and sing

the new powerful life of labour and peace.

Long Live Spain, raise your arms, sons

of the Spanish people, who are rising again.

Long Live Spain, raise your arms, sons

of the Spanish people, who are rising again.

Glory to the Fatherland that knew how to follow,

over the blue of the sea the path of the sun.

Glory to the Fatherland that knew how to follow,

over the blue of the sea the path of the sun.
