They are among the shortest anthems including lyrics of which San Marino has none. http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:a_05g1c4ZhsJ:www.nationalanthems.us/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi%3Fboard%3Drequest%3Baction%3Ddisplay%3Bnum%3D1117758852+site:www.nationalanthems.us+jordan+japan+san+marino&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=2 Jul 13 06, 1:09 PM

Now this is a cool website...where you can listen to them. Jordan: Long live the King! Long live the King! His position is sublime, His banners waving in glory supreme. Japan: Thousands of years of happy reign be thine; Rule on, my lord, till what are pebbles now By age united to mighty rocks shall grow Who's venerable sides the moss doth line. http://www.laurasmidiheaven.com/International/anthems-j.shtml Jul 13 06, 6:57 PM

Per Wiki the Japanese Anthem is: Kimi ga yo wa Chiyo ni Yachiyo ni Sazare ishi no Iwao to narite Koke no musu made May your reign Continue for a thousand years, For eternity, Until pebbles Grow into boulders Covered in moss. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimi_Ga_Yo Jul 15 06, 8:51 AM
