    Default Which country has the best national anthem?

    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.

    I don't like the version posted here, I've heard beautiful versions of the German one. I love the melody.

    Would be this one:

    "If Germany re-establishes her trade in the next 50 years, we shall have fought the war (WW1) in vain
    ."
    Winston Churchill interviewed by the London Times in 1919

    "This is not a peace. It is an armistice for twenty years"
    French marshal Ferdinand Foch on the Treaty of Versailles in 1919

    "Our ideal is to round Poland off with frontiers on the Oder in the West and the Neisse in Lausatia, and to reincorporate Prussia, from the Pregel to the Spree. In this war no prisoners will be taken, there will be no room for humanitarian feelings. We shall surprise the whole world in our war with Germany."
    Polish newspaper Mosarstwowiecz (1930), three years before Hitler's rise to power.

    That's still the national anthem of the Russian Federation, although with different words.

    Of course Russia's real national anthem goes like this
