Lyrics in Spanish
Chorus En el libro que guarda la Fama, tendrá nuestro nombre soberbio blasón; el valor, nuestro hermoso oriflama, y el único escudo será el corazón.

I Nuestras armas, por siempre triunfales, humillaron al fiero español, del clarín a las voces marciales que oyó en sus montañas la tierra del sol.

II Nuestro pueblo vibró de coraje cuando esclava la patria gimió, como ruge, del yugo al ultraje, con ira potente soberbio el león.

III En el campo sangriento de Marte libertad à la patria ofrendó la proeza inmortal de Ricaurte, que en tierra aragueña su Olimpo encontró.

IV Coronó nuestras cumbres de gloria cuando Ribas la espada blandió, y a su homérico Afán La Victoria con sangre opresora sus campos regó.

Lyrics in English
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 motherland cried, how it roars, from yoke to rape, with powerful rage proudly the lion.

III in the bloody field of Mars freedom to the motherland 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.
