Dominican Republic National Anthem Lyrics
Dominican Republic

Original Spanish Words

Quisqueyanos valientes alcemos

nuestro canto con viva emoción

Y del mundo a la faz ostentemos

Nuestro invicto glorioso pendón


Salve el pueblo que intrepido y fuerte

A la guerra a morir se lanzó

Cuando en belico reto de muerte

Sus cadenas de esclavo rompio.


Ningun pueblo ser libre merece

Si es esclavo, indolente y servil,

Si en su pecho la llama no crece

Que templo el heroismo viril.


Mas Quisqueya dla indomita y brava

Siempre altiva la frente alzará,

Que si fuere mil veces esclava

Otras tantas ser libre sabra.



English Translation

Brave men of Quisqueya,

Let us sing with strong feeling

And let us show to the world

Our invincible, glorious banner.


Hail, O people who, strong and intrepid,

Launched into war and went to death!

Under a warlike menace of death,

You broke your chains of slavery.


No country deserves to be free

If it is an indolent and servile slave,

If the call does not grow loud within it,

Tempered by a virile heroism.


But the brave and indomitable Quisqueya

Will always hold its head high,

For if it were a thousand times enslaved,

It would a thousand times regain freedom.
