National anthems

[anon1]

In the thread about France's current troubles, the French National anthem was posted in solidarity with the French people.
I am left wondering if people know and can sing the anthem of a country other than their own?
I only know the Canadian, British and US ones, for obvious reasons, but none of any other language.

Can YOU sing the French anthem?

Aux armes citoyens!
Formez vos bataillons
marchons, marchons
qu'un sang impur
abreuve nos sillons


I know the first 4 verses...but again I am French

The FULL version of La Marseillaise is 16 verses, it is extremely long. Could never remember it all for my life
The French anthem has to be one of the most..."violent" anthem that I know of

I also like the Quebec national anthem: Mon Paye.

A Puerto Rican classmate of mine used to tell me that the Puerto Rican national anthem was "We'll Take Manhattan".

Don't know the lyrics but I can play the tune of
the national anthem of Israel in my head as it is
a steal from Bedrich Smetana's Moldau theme.

Well thank God Ça Ira didn't become the National Anthem instead!

Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira
les aristocrates à la lanterne!
Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira
les aristocrates on les pendra!
Si on n’ les pend pas
On les rompra
Si on n’ les rompt pas
On les brûlera.

Ah! It will be fine, It will be fine, It will be fine
aristocrats to the lamp-post
Ah! It'll be fine, It'll be fine, It'll be fine
the aristocrats, we'll hang them!
If we don't hang them
We'll break them
If we don't break them
We'll burn them

And that's just the first verse!

I know the German anthem Das Deutschlandlied. Interestingly, it rejoices wine, women and song.

The word "frauen" means "wives", rather than "women" in the sense of "wine women and song".
