National Anthem

Himno de Andalucía
-----------------------
La bandera blanca y verde
vuelve, tras siglos de guerra,
a decir paz y esperanza,
bajo el sol de nuestra tierra.

¡Andaluces, levantaos!
¡Pedid tierra y libertad!
¡Sea por Andalucía libre,
España y la Humanidad!

Los andaluces queremos
volver a ser lo que fuimos
hombres de luz, que a los hombres,
alma de hombres les dimos.

¡Andaluces, levantaos!
¡Pedid tierra y libertad!
¡Sea por Andalucía libre,
España y la Humanidad!

Catalonia National Song 
-----------------------

Catalunya, triomfant,
tornarà a ser rica i plena !
Endarrera aquesta gent
tan ufana i tan superba !

Bon cop de falç !
Bon cop de falç, defensors de la terra !
Bon cop de falç !

Ara és hora, segadors !
Ara és hora d'estar alerta !
Per quan vingui un altre juny
esmolem ben bé les eines !

(repeat)

Que tremoli l'enemic
en veient la nostra ensenya:
com fem caure espigues d'or,
quan convé seguem cadenes !

(repeat)

Galicia National Song (Himno Gallego)
-------------------------------------

¿Qué din os rumorosos
na costa verdecente
ao raio transparente
do prácido luar?
¿Qué din as altas copas
de escuro arume arpado
co seu ben compasado
monótono fungar?

Do teu verdor cinguido
e de benignos astros
confín dos verdes castros 
e valeroso chan,
non des a esquecemento 
da inxuria o rudo encono;
desperta do teu sono
fogar de Breogán.

Os bos e xenerosos
a nosa voz entenden
e con arroubo atenden
o noso ronco son,
mais sóo os iñorantes
e féridos e duros,
imbéciles e escuros
non nos entenden, non.

Os tempos son chegados
dos bardos das edades 
que as vosas vaguedades 
cumprido fin terán;
pois, donde quer, xigante
a nosa voz pregoa
a redenzón da boa
nazón de Breogán.
