Himno Nacional de Cuba - La Bayamesa / Cuban National Anthem - Bayamo Song
Spanish Lyrics / English Translation
¡Al combate, corred, Bayameses!,
Que la patria os contempla orgullosa;
No temáis una muerte gloriosa,
Que morir por la patria es vivir.
Run to battle, men of Bayamo!
The motherland looks proudly to you;
Do not fear a glorious death,
Because to die for the motherland is to live.
En cadenas vivir es vivir
En afrenta y oprobio sumidos,
Del clarín escuchad el sonido;
¡A las armas, valientes, corred!
To live in chains it's to live
Mired in shame and disgrace,
From the bugle hear the sound;
Run, brave ones, to battle!
