lyrics

A ti, Espanya bien kerida
Muzotrus Madre te yamamos
I mientras toda muestra vida
Tu dulsi lingua no deshamos
Aungue tu moz desteraste
De tu seno
No estankamos de amarte
A ti, Espanya...
Por ti, muzotrus konservamos amor filial
Te mandamus muestro amor

(Translation):
You, beloved Spain
We call you our Mother
And all through our lifetime
We will not abandon your sweet language
Although you sent us
From your breast
We never tire of loving you
You, beloved Spain...
For you, we will preserve faithful love
We send you our love
