::''Del cenit a la negra Carraca''
::''Como pródiga fuente de gloria.''

:'''— I —'''
:''Cruza el suelo infecundo''
:''Donde fuerzas arteras''

:''Porque falta a su tienda''
:''La dulce libertad.''

::'''— Chorus —'''
::''Glory to the inmortal hero that makes stand out''
::''His bizarre figure from the history''
::''Of the zenith in the dark Carraca''
::''As a prodigal source of glory.''

:'''— I —'''
:''Crosses the sterile soil''
:''Where cunning forces''
:''Take away from the world''
:''Its gift of liberty;''
:''He doesn't respect frontiers''
:''In the moaning towns;''
:''Towards hate and crime''
:''His duty is to fight.''

::'''(Chorus)'''

:'''— II —'''
:''If Spain fulminates him''
:''Behind its altars''
:''England illuminates''
:''His immortal path;''
:''Rejects from the tzars''
:''The greed offer''
:''Because his tent is missing''
:''The sweet liberty.''

::'''(Chorus)'''

:'''— III —'''
:''France opens its arms for him''
:''Shattered his chest,''
:''Because against hard lashes''
:''A throne demolished;''
:''And the upright human''
:''When erected triumphant''
:''Saw the struggling effort''
:''Of Miranda in action.''

::'''(Chorus)'''
