Chorus
In the book that keeps fame,
our name will have an heroic banner;
bravery, shall be our beautiful flag,
and the only shield will be the heart.

I
Our weapons, for ever triumphant,
humiliated the fierce Spaniard,
from trumpet to the martial voices
that heard in its mountains the land of the sun.

II
our people vibrated from courage
when enslaved our fatherland cried,
how it roars, from yoke to rape,
with powerful rage proudly the lion.

III
in the bloody field of Mars
freedom to the fatherland was offered
by the immortal deed of Ricaurte,
that in Araguan land his Olimpus found.

IV
Crowned with glory were our hills
when Ribas the sword brandished,
and in his Homeric pursuit La Victoria
with oppressing blood its fields sprayed.
