Himno de Riego

Calm and joyful
brave and daring
let us soldiers sing
the anthem to the fight.
May the world admire
our accents
and see in us
the sons of El Cid.

Soldiers, the homeland
calls us to the fight,
let us swear for her
to conquer or die.

The world never saw
nobler audacity,
nor ever saw a day
of greater valor,
than the one when, inflamed,
we felt the fire
excite in Riego
love for the homeland.

Soldiers, the homeland
calls us to the fight,
let us swear for her
to conquer or die.

The war horn
gives its echoes to the wind,
horror to the thirsty,
the cannon already roars,
to Mars, furious,
daring provokes
and invokes the genius
of our nation.

Soldiers, the homeland
calls us to the fight,
let us swear for her
to conquer or die.
