(English translation)
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 Princes my
defenders!
And my Princes my defenders!
