YE who burn with glory's flameA
Ye who love the Patriot's fameA
Ye who scorn oppressive mightB
Rise in freedom's cause uniteB
Castilians riseC
Hark Iberia calls ye braveD
Haste your bleeding country saveD
Be the palm of bright renownE
Be th' unfading laurel crownE
The hero's prizeC
-
High the crimson banner waveD
Ours be conquest or the graveD
Spirits of our noble siresF
Lo your sons with kindred firesG
Unconquer'd glowH
-
See them once again advanceI
Crush the pride of hostile FranceI
See their hearts with ardor warmJ
See them with triumphant armK
Repel the foeH
-
By the Cid's immortal nameA
By Gonsalvo's deathless fameA
By the chiefs of former timeL
By the valiant deeds sublimeL
Of ancient daysM
Brave Castilians grasp the spearN
Gallant Andalusians hearO
Glory calls you to the plainP
Future bards in lofty strainP
Shall sing your praiseM
-
Shades of mighty warriors deadQ
Ye who nobly fought and bledQ
-
Ye whose valor could withstandR
The savage Moor's invading bandR
Untaught to yieldS
Bade victorious CharlemagneP
Own the patriot arms of SpainP
Ye in later times renown'dT
Ye who fell with laurels crown'dT
On Pavia's fieldS
-
Teach our hearts like yours to burnU
Lawless pow'r like you to spurnU
Teach us but like you to wieldS
Freedom's lance and Freedom's shieldS
With daring mightB
Tyrant soon thy reign is o'erV
Thou shalt waste mankind no moreW
Boast no more thy thousands slainP
Jena's or Marengo's plainP
Lo the sun that gilds thy dayX
Soon will veil its parting rayX
In endless nightB
