Lyrics & Translation: El gran Carlemany, mon Pare dels àrabs em deslliurà, I del cel vida em donà de Meritxell, la gran Mare, Princesa nasquí i Pubilla entre dues 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 Princeps defensors!El gran Carlemany, mon Pare dels àrabs em deslliurà, The great Charlemagne, my Father, liberated me from the Saracens, And from heaven he gave me life from 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 A believer and free for eleven centuries, a believer and free I want to be. Be the laws of the land my tutors, and my defender Princes! And my defender Princes!
