Nueva Esparta State Anthem - Lyrics Translated Into English

Lyrics Translated Into English

Chorus
Glory to Margarita, the pearl of the East!
Glory to New Esparta, land of courage!
May her bright star never fade,
her star of glory, freedom, and love.

Verse One
Crowns of clouds from the Matasiete,
belt of foam the Caribbean Sea,
and heroism is her shield and battering ram,
her ritual is work, glory her altar.
In the great battle, she rises first
Such a sacred rainbow, our pavilion;
and will never surrender her warrior arm,
because she is the guiding light of the insurrection.

Verse Two
Her illustrious spartan, the fame announces,
history clads her with immortal praise.
Her children are heroes of Mars and Bellona,
her heroes are children of Homer and Mistral.
Seven white stars, sacred and beautiful
the country they crown embroidering her blue
Margarita is one of the seven stars
and full of rays is her azure tulle.

Verse Three
They gave her heroic and divine reputation,
reputation that shines like a halo in her temple
with Luisa the martyr, the famous heroine
Arismendi, Gómez, Mariño and also
Maneiro, Figueroa, Lares and Fermín
and Díaz, Aguirre, Solva (Cayetano)
and together with one thousand heroes of Campo Antolín.

Verse Four
Her children united in holy harmony
by law of existence, by noble duty
we shall throw off the yoke of tyranny,
every time they try to impose it on us
and shall we always guard with our courage
the sacred heirloom of liberty,
and bind us always by our fate
with bonds of flowers and brotherhood.
