Lyrics - Catalan
(Music by Joan Benlloch I Vivó, Lyrics by Enric Marfany Bons)
El gran Carlemany, mon pare,
dels alarbs em deslliurà,
i del cel vida em donà
de Meritxell, la gran Mare.
Princesa nasquí i pubilla
entre dos nacions, neutral,
sols resto l’única filla
de l’imperi Carlemany.
Creient i lliure onze segles,
creient i lliure vull ser.
Siguin els furs mos tutors
i mos Prínceps defensors!
I mos Prínceps defensors!
English Translation - The Great Charlemagne
The great Charlemagne, my father,
from the Arabs he delivered me,
and from heaven he gave me life
from Meritxell, the great Mother.
Born and raised as a princess
between two nations, neutral,
I alone remain the only daughter
of the Charlemagne empire.
Believer and free for eleven centuries,
believer and free I want to be.
Let the laws be my guardians
and my Princes my defenders!
And my Princes my defenders!
