Reply to comment by pm-me-racecars in TIL that one of the oldest national anthems, the Spanish National Anthem Marcha Real, has no official lyrics at all. It's just the music. And while it is played people just hum "na na na" to the music. by Front-Insurance9577
That’s one option. Another is New Zealand where it’s becoming common to sing a verse in Māori then a verse in English. Might be a bit harder with a verse in Castilian, Catalan, Galician then Basque though...

In Canada, it's super common to have the first part be French and the second part be English.
It's just a little funny that the official "translations" aren't translations at all, and are actually two completely different songs set to the same music.
