🎤 Anthem (Vocal)
The great Charlemagne, my Father,
liberated me from the Saracens,
And from heaven he gave me life
of Meritxell the great Mother.
I was born a Princess,
a Maiden neutral between two nations.
I am the only remaining daughter
of the Carolingian empire.
Believing and free for eleven centuries,
believing and free I will be.
The laws of the land be my tutors,
and my defender Princes!
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!
