  Another well known version is:

  “Chunda chunda tachunda chunda chunda…”

  Now wasn’t that silly of them not to make an official anthem with LYRICS!

  “Chunda chunda tachunda chunda chunda” is the most efficient compresion of sound:

  20 Mbs of Wav, 3 of Mp3, but if you show that text to a spaniard he will recognize it.

  There was some lyrics. You can read all of them Here
  but the most popular is a unnoficial lyric promoted by franco. There is in the link too. The author is Jose María Pemán.

  In the first lyric, the Eduardo Marquina´s, they speak about the old colours of the flag: Purple, yellow and red.

  But the funniest lyrics are made by Rafa Corega:

  If you know spanish (and spaniards) you are going to laugh. I can´t try to translate it if someone is interested, but then the rhyme will be lost

  Hi

  As Spaniard I would like to have lyrics to sing, but chunda, chunda is something anybody can understand.

  And other thing, we don’t have ltyrics but we have a dance : MACARENA , AY!!!!

  Best regards from Barcelona
