José Palma

“ English Literal translation. Not meant to be sung.
Beloved country,
Pearl of the Orient,
The burning [fervour] of the heart
In your bosom is ever alive.
Chosen Land,
You are the cradle of the brave,
To the conquerors
You shall never be oppressed. ”

“ Forever shall never dim.
Land of the sun, of glory, and [of] love,
Life is heaven in your embrace;
It is our joy if there will be oppressors
To die because of you.
