Vicente López y Planes

“ Who knew how to win.
Crowned with glory live...
Or swear to die gloriously!
Of the new champions' faces
Mars himself seems to animate
Greatness nestles in their bodies:
Up to make everything tremble. ”

“ Sean eternos los laureles,
que supimos conseguir.
Coronados de gloria vivamos...
¡o juremos con gloria morir!
De los nuevos campeones los rostros
Marte mismo parece animar
la grandeza se anida en sus pechos:
a su marcha todo hacen temblar. ”

“ Resound with horrible din:
The whole country is disturbed by shouting
Revenge, war and rage.
In the fierce tyrants envy
Pestiferous spit bile
Raise their bloody standard
Leading to the wheel more cruel. ”
