I would like to have your ideas on the most beautiful (foreign) national anthem. Or your Top 3.
Please post the anthem itself.:)

I really like the Japanese national anthem. It's very short and understated, the very opposite of corny pomposity or fake grandeur.

That's still the national anthem of the Russian Federation, although with different words.
Of course Russia's real national anthem goes like this ;)

Personally I don't really like national anthems. Most of them are way too happy for my taste, haha. If I would have to choose, it would probably be the Soviet anthem. It just sounds nice and well composed.:)
I like the most the Montenegro anthem , it sounds like those barbarian peplum movies of the 50s and 60s.

And then the German and the Russian one , it's very martial.

Frisian blood, thicken up! Now rise, foam and seethe,
and thud on through our veins!
Fly up! We sing of the best land in the Earth,
the Frisian land full of honour and pride.
Chorus (2x)
Sound then and thunder it far and wide,
Thine old honour, oh Frisian ground!
How also from other nations, need, and sea threatened,
age-old, beloved Frisian ground,
Those stead fast bonds were never broken,
that bound the Frisians to their land.
Chorus (2x)
Unused to bowing, they stayed by the old folk in honor,
their name and language, their sense of freedom.
Their word was law, right, humble and true they teach,
and opposed to coercion from whomever it might come.
Chorus (2x)
Honourable people of this old name,
be always proud of your ancestors!
Remain forever on that high grey stem
a green and strong flourishing shoot!
Chorus (2x)
Gaude Mater Polonia
Wv8LriCtwxE
Gaude Mater Polonia (Rejoice, oh Mother Poland) was probably the most popular medieval Polish hymn, written in the 13th-14th century in memory of saint Stanisław Szczepanowski, bishop of Cracow. Polish knights used to sing it after victory in battle, presumably to one of the Gregorian chant melodies associated with "O Salutaris Hostia", on which it is based.
Words:
Latin:
Gaude, mater Polonia,
prole fecunda nobili.
Summi Regis magnalia
laude frequenta vigili.
Polish:
O ciesz się, Matko-Polsko, w sławne
Potomstwo płodna! Króla królów
I najwyższego Pana wielkość
Uwielbiaj chwałą przynależną.
English
Rejoice, oh Mother Poland
Rich in noble offspring,
Mighty works of the greatest King
Worship with incessant praise.

I believe that every country's national anthem should reflect the nation's culture and mentality. So, unless Finland changes our current song of German origin - that is not actually bad, but could be a national anthem for almost any European country (or of a starving nigger one when they feel like stealing) - to a more indigenous and representative one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfx4J6aL3dE), I'll have to nominate this pompous masterpiece:
EBQlcLb5ocw
It truly makes me proud to be a Nord... *krhm* Northern European. (Sorry Karl :D)
Although I truly hate to hear it in the end of a hockey match...

Nice lyrics, even a little cheeky, which I like:
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.

Fun fact. I knew the lyrics of the Wilhelmus before that of any other country. The lyrics of the Belgian one were a mystery even to the local plebs, prior to the internet. They still largely are. Too fake and unfitting to us.

One of my favourite versions of the anthem.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX7sFsXG4TI
As sung by Bill van Dijk.
It has a very strong piercing message and sums up the Dutch drive for freedom and against suppression of the minds.

I like the Spanish anthem, "March Real." A simple but elegant one.
South America has several good anthems.
English-speaking countries, overall, have disappointing anthems, though there are good alternates ("Rule Britannia" beats the actual anthem by far, and the U.S. has a lot of great patriotic songs that would make better anthems). Then again, if you fight for a country, its anthem will mean so much -even if its tune is an old drinking song.
