I
![]() Quisqueyanos valientes, alcemos Nuestro canto con viva emoción, Y del mundo a la faz ostentemos Nuestro invicto, glorioso pendón. ¡Salve! el pueblo que, intrépido y fuerte. A la guerra a morir se lanzó, Cuando en bélico reto de muerte Sus cadenas de esclavo rompió.

![]() Brave men of Quisqueya (*1), Let us sing with strong feeling, And let us show with pride to the world Our invincible, glorious banner. Hail, O people who, intrepid and strong, Launched into war and went to death, Under a warlike menace of death You broke your chains of slavery.
