La Marcha Real, the Royal March, National Anthem of the Kingdom of Spain (Reino de España)

Music - Manuel de Espinosa de los Monteros
Lyrics - Officially none since 1978
Adopted - 1770

In January 2008, new lyrics to the Spanish national anthem, La Marcha Real, were revealed. The Spanish national anthem had been lyric-less since the death of dictator General Franco in the 1970s. But when the Spanish Olympic Committee heard fans of the English soccer team Liverpool FC sing the club's anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone', it was decided that Spain too should have lyrics to its national anthem.However, many Spaniards have ridiculed the idea and the lyrics never caught on.

In this video you'll find the proposed modern lyrics in Spanish and English.
