Sing for Spain… But first you need the words

Why is Spain looking for lyrics for 2008?

The Spanish Olympic Committee is looking to give their athletes something to sing about at the 2008 games. According to a recent report on NRP, officials want lyrics for Spain’s more than 300-year-old national anthem so athletes can sing along at award ceremonies.

Currently, “La Marcha Real” (translation: “the Royal March”) is one of the few national anthems to have no official lyrics.
